nginx - Laravel showing blank page -

i setup laravel 5 framework in server typing in terminal

laravel new blog (in "/var/www/html/" folder),

then changed default config of nginx root pointing : root /var/www/html/blog/public;

of-course files in place see blank page showing ! tried put html & php file in public folder , works fine. not laravel default index file. missing here ?

for adding pages in laravel not put files in /public. please have @ official laravel page if want create new views.

laravel uses mvc principle. need have @ least view (the part displayed) , controller handles view. add new controller, please change project root cd /var/www/html/blog , type in php artisan controller:make awesomecontroller creates controller in app/http/controllers/awesomecontroller.php.

in controller can return view adding return view('myview') index() method example. (the view has exist @ resources/views/myview.blade.php of course)

in last step need tell laravel how call controller. please modify routes.php file @ app/http/routes.php , add route::get('foo', 'awesomecontroller');. need tell composer of controllers may have changed , composer needs refresh cache. type in composer dump-autoload , start development server php artisan serve.

by calling http://localhost:8000/foo (by default) should see view. have nice day!
