routes/web.php works locally but not on server

[eliasu]

Hi there,

I'm trying to implement a autogenerated sitemap on my page. Everything works fine locally, but as soon as I upload everything, it won't show the sitemap. I found that the routes within routes/web.php wouldn't work after the upload any more. I added this to demonstrate:

Route::get('foo', function () { return 'foo'; });

… and even this is not working.

Any Ideas on that? Could it be something with the PHP Version?
Thanks!

Have you tried clearing your route cache?

php artisan route:clear

PHP version shouldn't make any difference.

I didnt know, routes had a cache too 😔 I looked for hours, and this fixed it all.
Thanks!

No worries - routes aren't cached by default but you probably did it if you ran php artisan optimise or something.
