How to Fix HTTP 404 Error on Laravel Search Results Page

When implementing a search feature on a Laravel website, a common issue that developers face is encountering an HTTP 404 error on the search results page when URL parameters are passed. If you've found yourself grappling with this frustrating situation, you're not alone. In this guide, we'll break down the problem and provide a clear solution to help you get your search feature up and running smoothly.

Understanding the Problem

You may have created a search form that looks something like this:

This form should be generating a URL like this when submitted:

However, upon testing, the search results page returns a 404 status, indicating that the server can't find the requested page when the parameters are included in the URL. Yet, when no parameters are involved, the server responds with a 200 status, indicating that everything works fine.

But why does this discrepancy occur? Let's delve deeper into the solution.

The Solution: Adjusting Your NGINX Configuration

The good news is that this issue can likely be resolved with a simple adjustment in your server configuration. Specifically, the problem lies in your nginx.conf, particularly in the handling of PHP requests. Follow these steps to correct the issue:

Step 1: Locate Your NGINX Configuration

Open your NGINX configuration file. This is often found in locations such as /etc/nginx/nginx.conf or /etc/nginx/sites-available/default depending on your setup.

Step 2: Find the PHP Location Block

Look for the following block in your configuration:

Step 3: Adjust the Try Files Directive

You'll notice the line that reads try_files $query_string/index.php =404;. This line can interfere with how parameters in the URL are interpreted by NGINX. To resolve the issue, comment it out or remove it entirely:

Step 4: Restart NGINX

After making these changes, be sure to restart NGINX to apply your updated configuration. You can do this by running the following command in the terminal:

Success!

After following these steps, your search-results page should now correctly respond with a 200 status whenever you include parameters in the URL. This will enhance the user experience and ensure your search feature operates without issues.

Conclusion

In summary, encountering a 404 error when passing parameters in a Laravel search results page can often be attributed to how your NGINX server is configured. By adjusting the way PHP requests are handled in your nginx.conf, you can resolve this issue effectively. Remember to restart your web server after making changes to ensure that they take effect.
