Laravel: POST method returns MethodNotAllowedHttpException

votes

I have a POST route in my api.php file, and it is like this:

Route::group(
    ['namespace' => 'api'], function () {
    Route::post('parent/signup', 'ParentController@signUp');
}
);

And I am trying to access this url in postman as this is an api route. But when I send request to this route, this exception occurs:

MethodNotAllowedHttpException in RouteCollection.php line 218:

I am definitely sending a post request as shown in the shot below:

enter image description here

I ran php artisan route:list and this route is a POST one.

| POST | api\/parent\/signup | | App\\Http\\Controllers\\api\\ParentController@signUp

What am I doing wrong here? Any help?

Why do you add public in your url? Standard Laravel applications are served from public, but you don't need to add it to the url. Could you try example.com/api/parent/signup? – JiFus
Without public it returns 404 error. – Saani
whats you method name signup or signUp?? – Mr. Pyramid
its signUp. As shown. – Saani
what headers you send with postman? – Giacomo M

I have a same problem on a half of month ago.

The reason is when I post on valid route, it redirects from http to https (configured by .htaccess), so "POST" method becomes "GET" and you see a MethodNotAllowedException.

Check your browser and follow the request, you may see the accurate problem.

The problem should be the route namespace, you are not using it properly.

Try to use the route group:

Route::group(['prefix' => 'api'], function()
{
    Route::post('parent/signup', 'ParentController@signup');
});
