Class 'App\Http\Controllers\Controller' not found - Laravel 5.2
Solution 1
Error can also occur if App/Http/Controllers/ folder does not have Controller.php file.
Make sure file exists.
Solution 2
To make everything correct, run this.
php artisan app:name YourApplicationName
it is going to change everything with app to your application name, so you wont need to write manually test everywhere
Solution 3
Please correct your namespace in your pagecontroller
<?php
namespace test\Http\Controllers;
use test\Http\Controllers\Controller;
class PagesController extends Controller
{
public function getAbout(){
return view('about');
}
}
UPDATE :
After change in namespace in controller please dump-autoload your composer:
Composer dump-autoload

I am new here but I already checked all solutions about my problem here and still didn't fix it.
I want to create simple app with tutorial in Laravel 5.2, and I can't make my controller to work.
I named my app "test" and here is a code:
PagesController.php:
<?php namespace App\Http\Controllers; use App\Http\Controllers\Controller; class PagesController extends Controller { public function getAbout(){ return view('about'); } }
routes.php:
Route::get('about', [ 'as' => 'about', 'uses' => 'PagesController@getAbout' ]);
And Controller.php (default):
<?php namespace test\Http\Controllers; use Illuminate\Foundation\Bus\DispatchesJobs; use Illuminate\Routing\Controller as BaseController; use Illuminate\Foundation\Validation\ValidatesRequests; use Illuminate\Foundation\Auth\Access\AuthorizesRequests; class Controller extends BaseController { use AuthorizesRequests, DispatchesJobs, ValidatesRequests; }
Do you see any problem here? I am sure all files are in correct folders.

Friendly Code over 4 yearsSaved me some time thanks - During package development I copied all my controllers to new package destination (including the default Controller.php file). Once restored all worked OK
