My Routes are Returning a 404, How can I Fix Them?

On my Ubuntu LAMP installation, I solved this problem with the following 2 changes.

1. Enable mod_rewrite on the apache server: sudo a2enmod rewrite.
2. Edit /etc/apache2/apache2.conf, changing the "AllowOverride" directive for the /var/www directory (which is my main document root): AllowOverride All

Then restart the Apache server: service apache2 restart

Have you tried adding this to your routes file instead Route::get('user', "user@index")?

The piece of text before the @, user in this case, will direct the page to the user controller and the piece of text after the @, index, will direct the script to the user function public function get_index().

I see you're using $restful, in which case you could set your Route to Route::any('user', 'user@index'). This will handle both POST and GET, instead of writing them both out separately.

Using WAMP click on wamp icon ->apache->apache modules->scroll and check rewrite_module.

Restart a LoadModule rewrite_module

Note: the server application restarts automatically for you once you enable "rewrite_module"

Have you tried to check if

http://localhost/mysite/public/index.php/user 

was working? If so then make sure all your path's folders don't have any uppercase letters. I had the same situation and converting letters to lower case helped.
