title: Laravel 4 simple route not working using mod_rewrite, and .htaccess
body: <p>I'm not only new to Laravel 4, but new to using frameworks. I thought I'd start with Laravel since it's gotten such good reviews.
  I've got a good install of Laravel. I go to /l4/public and see the welcome page.</p>
  
  <p>I'm trying to add a route to routes.php so that when I navigate to /l4/public/articles I get a response.<br>
  I get "The requested URL /l4/public/articles was not found on this server." Do I need to run an artisan command to compile the routes? It's probably something easy. Why this message?</p>
  
  <p>routes.php</p>
  
  <pre><code>Route::get('/', function()
  {
      return View::make('hello');
  });
  
  Route::get('articles', function ()
  {
      //return View::make('articles');
      return "Articles hello there";
  });
  </code></pre>
