404 error | Page not found after enabling SSL (and disabling)

marcq

Hi,

I was working since days without any issues and...
I tried to enable ssl with Menu Apache | SSL | Enabled.
Now nothing works anymore, every time I try to login into my Laravel App :

http://app.local/public/admin/login

I constantly have an 404 error | Page not found.
I disabled the ssl with Menu Apache | SSL | Disabled.
Restarted several times the server or Laragon, but still the same error.

I have less knowledge in dealing with server, so I would appreciate some help here in order to fix this, since I can't work, I'm totally stuck...

Thank you in advance for you support.

Laragon version :4.0.16 | PHP 7.2.2

@marcq : When you have issues, the first place you should check is the logs.
If you enable SSL, you should go:
https://app.local

Furthermore, only the link http://app.local/public/admin/login has 404 or all of your links?

marcq

Thank you @leokhoa

I'm using a dashboard (CRUDBOOSTER package) and the link to login is in fact

http://mage.local/public/admin/login (without public when in production).

I can access http://mage.local but it is the regular Laravel home page which is working.

I can not access other page, since all the pages of my app need a login so I can not say if other pages have the same issue.

Obviously enabling and disabling ssl has changed something since before this I logged in with :

http://app.local/public/admin/login

and now it is working with

http://app.local/admin/login

and I can access all pages.

@leokhoa sorry to have bother you with this, since I haven't checked it before opening this topic. It seems to work so I close this one, I just have broken link (to images). Thank you anyway. A last question, do you have a tutorial how to enable SSL on laragon ?

leokhoa

@marcq : Enabling SSL triggers new configuration file for Virtual Host. The templates are located in: {LARAGON_ROOT}\usr\tpl

In the past, you DocumentRoot was point to C:/laragon/yourproject
When you enable SSL, Laragon detects that you have a public folder and it updates new configuration with DocumentRoot points to C:/laragon/yourproject/public.

You can now enable SSL with 1 click and access your page with this link:
https://app.local/admin/login

Now, you test env and prod env have the same format

@leokhoa

That's great news, thanks a lot

I didn't think I have a certificate implemented, can I use a letsencrypt certificate with auto-renewal ? If yes do you have a tutorial how I can do it in Laragon ?

leokhoa

@marcq : On local you don't need LetEncrypt. Laragon will create new self- certificates for you and add to Trust Store. Your browsers should display the green lock icon. It's Laragon magic so you don't need to do anything.
It's a powerful feature of Laragon but not so many people know. I will create an article on that when having time.
