Laravel 9 API works with localhost but not with device IP-CodePudding

I have my Laravel 9 installed inside xampp/htdocs. It works fine when I use API URL with localhost but it throws 404 when I use my device's IP address.

http://localhost/myapp/public/api/users It works fine and returns me all the users

but

http://192.168.254.6/myapp/public/api/users gives me 404. Due to this I am not able to access the app from local network too.

I simply tested the case with only one php file test.php and http://192.168.254.6/testapp/test.php works fine.

I logged the incoming requests in index.php inside Laravel public directory and I found that Laravel is receiving the requests but when I tried to log the requests inside a controller and even inside a middleware, I got nothing.

What might be the reason for it?

CodePudding user response：

After long research, I found the solution. The issue was due to a package configuration file config/tenancy.php of https://tenancyforlaravel.com/

The old configuration was:

    /**
     * The list of domains hosting your central app.
     *
     * Only relevant if you're using the domain or subdomain identification middleware.
     */
    'central_domains' => [
        '127.0.0.1',
        'localhost',
    ],

Adding the specific local IP or a blank string fixed the issue:

    /**
     * The list of domains hosting your central app.
     *
     * Only relevant if you're using the domain or subdomain identification middleware.
     */
    'central_domains' => [
        '127.0.0.1',
        'localhost',
        ''
    ],

As stated in the code comments, this config should have been only valid while using domain or subdomain but I was using request data to identify tenant, still it was causing the issue.
