title: Laravel 4 - Symfony \ Component \ HttpKernel \ Exception \ NotFoundHttpException
body: <p>here is my .htaccess in the root of the project(localhost/laravel_project_name/):</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;IfModule mod_rewrite.c&gt;
     RewriteEngine On 
     RewriteRule ^(.*)$ public/$1 [L]
  &lt;/IfModule&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>the contents in laravel_project_name/public have not been changed at all.</p>
  
  <p>So when i access this url "localhost/laravel_project_name/"  it gives this error:</p>
  
  <p>Symfony \ Component \ HttpKernel \ Exception \ NotFoundHttpException</p>
  
  <p>and yes mod_rewrite is un-commented. </p>
  
  <p>oh and here is my route:</p>
  
  <pre><code>Route::get('/', function()
  {
          return "hello";
  });
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>And Im on xampp.</p>
