Laravel API Route Not Found

Question

I'm trying to test an API route, but I always get 404 Not Found.

I'm using this command:

curl http://localhost:8000/api/veip

This is my routes/api.php

<?php

use Illuminate\Http\Request;

Route::get('/veip', function () {
    return 'Hello World';
});

And this is my php artisan route:list output:

+--------+----------+----------+------+---------+------------+
| Domain | Method   | URI      | Name | Action  | Middleware |
+--------+----------+----------+------+---------+------------+
|        | GET|HEAD | /        |      | Closure | web        |
|        | GET|HEAD | api/veip |      | Closure | api        |
+--------+----------+----------+------+---------+------------+

So the route does exists

I don't know what's going on here...

Solution 1

try php artisan route:clear may work for you

Solution 2

Run sudo a2enmod rewrite to enable the mod_rewrite on the .htaccess file, then sudo service apache2 restart

Solution 3

check routing middleware https://laravel.com/docs/8.x/routing#route-groups?

Route::middleware('api')->group(function () {

    Route::get('testroute', [TestController::class, 'index']); 
}

URL:

http://127.0.0.1:8000/api/testroute
