when type php artisan route:list i have my route listed but when i try to get the category page it show 404 not found :

http://********:8000/products/categories

CodePudding user response：

you should try php artisan route:cache i use that code after add new route always and it's work

CodePudding user response：

You're going to the wrong url you need to go to

localhost:8000/products/categories

The index method does not relate to the URL but the action.
