i hope welcome file is not in a folder – Alleluia

welcome.blade.php is available in the folder resources/views – Gere

delete all the files in storage\framework\cache, storage\framework\session and storage\framework\veiws and try again – Alleluia

Answer 2

First of all check welcome view exist in the resources/views directory. After that run following command on terminal:

php artisan cache:clear
php artisan config:cache

and refresh the page.

Explanation: Laravel maintains cache to serve view, so you have to clear the cache.

the view "welcome.blade.php" does exists in the resources/views directory and i have also tried the cache clear command this does not fix my problem – Gere

the view "welcome.blade.php" does exists in the resources/views directory then make it. – Resurrectionist

Answer 4

I had the same issue on the server. The cause was folders inside the view folder has no executable permission. After giving permission to those folders everything works fine.

Answer 5

none of above answers helped me. Heres what i did. The issue is that laravel cant find new route provided by your in web.php because it is using it from cached routes. So try running this command

php artisan route:cache

This will clear routes cache Hopefully this will solve your issue
