title: Laravel routes not working correctly on digital ocean LAMP droplet
body: <p>I am able to access my Laravel site with <code>mysite.com/</code> routing correctly with / retrieving the welcome view.</p>
  
  <p>I am able to access files in my public directory such as
  <code>mysite.com/img/test.jpg</code></p>
  
  <p>But when I try to access any other routes, such as <code>mysite.com/login</code>.</p>
  
  <p>I get the following error</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>Not Found</p>
    
    <p>The requested URL /contact was not found on this server.</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>It looks like the application is trying to access another route that is not hitting <code>index.php</code> to generate the view accordingly.</p>
  
  <p>I am using the default <code>.htaccess</code> file that Laravel comes with.</p>
  
  <p>My apache conf file points to my public directory.</p>
  
  <p>Anyone run into a similar issue before?</p>
