It's frustrating when your routes aren't working as expected and returns 404 error instead. It was really irritating and wasted couple of my precious hours. After a while i came up with the solution. The error comes up because the .htaccess file is lack of permission.  Follow these steps to get it right.  Step - 01 If you are using wamp/xampp open  "httpd.conf" file.

Change " AllowOverride None"  to " AllowOverride All" under Directory tag. Save Changes.  Step - 03 Restart Apache Server.  The default .htaccess file that Laravel provides in the public folder specified some mod_rewrite rules. These rules were not getting applied because AllowOverride was set to none. Be sure and restart

If possible you should enable it or recompile php with --with-openssl Step 02   Open Wamp/Xampp folder.  Go-to  C:\wamp\bin\php\php5...\php.ini or C:\xampp\bin\php\php5...\php.ini In the php.ini document, search for "extension=php_openssl.dll" line remove the semicolon in front of it and save the file.  now composer should

When I started reading through lecture notes about the Framework for Knowledge Management, I couldn't find a better example but relating each concept to the place I went for my internship. 99XTechnology is a reputed IT company in Sri Lanka.

Semantic Web Big Picture Introduction The Semantic Web is an evolving collection of knowledge, built to allow anyone on the Internet to add what they know and find answers to their questions. Information on the Semantic web, rather than being in natural language text, is maintained in a structured form which is fairly easy for both computers and people to work with. Description The structuring is simple: knowledge is expressed as descriptive statements, saying some relationship exists between one thing and another. "Jane has a mother, Susan" or "Susan is a mother of Jane". An enormous amount of people's knowledge can be expressed in sentences like these. "Part #4521 has a price, $19.95." "George has a city of residence, Washington D.C."
