  Message to seller:
  Hi,
  I bought and installed your LaraMinLTE, but it doesn't work. The homepage has got a HUGE black logo that doesn't change in size, below which teeny tiny repeated menu to login or register, both when clicked go to no where, saying "Not Found The requested URL was not found on this server.".
  Please inform what is going wrong and how to fix.
  Best regards
  Miron

  I downloaded the file here from Codester, unzipped it in the correct folder, configured the database in the .env and ran the command "php artisan migrate --seed" and everything worked perfectly. You must have some problem with your development environment, or something else.

  I never tested in sub-directories(localhost/laraminlte), I always use a local domain (example.local), maybe this could be the cause of the links and assets (css, js, images) not being loaded correctly in your environment.

  Hi, I removed traces of old installations, I re-installed apache2 and upgraded the system, I made sure all prerequisits were met and this time I installed it in the ROOT folder of my apache2 server running debian, I also took care of all permissions and ownerships.. The problem remained the same. The admin page can't be found and the home page still shows huge logo and the links go nowhere.
  
  There's nothing wrong with my platform since I could run laravel sample site right before I tried your code which worked fine.
  
  If you have no time to provide a solution, I'm afraiod I'd have to request a refund for my purchase.

  I sent a video of the entire installation process to your email, watch it and you'll see that everything works exactly as expected.

  copy of the email I've just sent:
  
  Hi,
  
  Thanks for the video, this is almost exactly how I did it. The only difference is to define explicit domain and configure apache. The results are:
  
  1- homepage displayed successfully
  2- login and register pages still can't be found (dead link)
  
  I tried all kinds of combinations in apache virtual sites --> totally useless.
  
  I have this weird feeling that the reason why it worked on your side is because you are browsing the website on the same physical machine running the web server, am I right?
  
  Well, if this is the case, this could be a reason since I am developing on a ubuntu home server and am using my windows desktop to navigate to the site. My server is headless (no desktop) and even if it had desktop, I wouldn't try. I need something that works in a way to be accessible from anywhere.
  
  Please advise, provide a solution or refund.
  
  Best regards

  I've never done development in a separate environment like you are doing, so I'm not the best person to help you with that. In my case, I use Linux Mint and Laradock as a development environment, all on the same machine, not separated as is your case.. But I believe the problem is related to the server where you hosted the files, you said the url's don't work, so I recommend checking the following:
  
  1. Make sure "mod_rewrite" is enabled
  2. Configure a local access url in apache like the example below:
  
  <VirtualHost *:80>
  ServerName laraminlte.local
  DocumentRoot "/var/www/laraminlte/public"
  <Directory  "/var/www/laraminlte/public">
  Options +Indexes +Includes +FollowSymLinks +MultiViews
  <IfVersion < 2.4>
   Allow from all
  </IfVersion>
  <IfVersion >= 2.4>
   Require all granted
  </IfVersion>
  </Directory>
  </VirtualHost>
  
  3. Configure the /etc/hosts file and include the line below
  127.0.0.1 laraminlte.local
  
  If none of that works, I recommend testing the script in a local environment using Docker/Laradock, or installing the script on a hosting (I use Cloudways and also droplets in other clouds with CyberPanel).
  
  If you still want it to work in your current environment, I recommend posting about your problem on StackOverFlow/Laracasts to get help from someone who also has the same type of environment as yours and can help you figure out why the URL's don't work.
  
  I tried researching how to access Laravel's routes directly, without the .htaccess, but I didn't find any information. If you find out if this is possible, I recommend trying accessing routes this way to see if it works. I say this because I also developed in Codeigniter 3, and in it it was possible to access the routes using /index.php/Controller/Method and it helped to discover that there was something wrong with the .htaccess or with the mod_rewrite, if this is also possible in Laravel it can help in diagnosing the problem.
