Getting laravel to work with Apache 2 - .htaccess

Question

So I am new to Laravel.
I am using mac OS X to develop, so at first I thought it would be a great idea to use Homestead.
But they use nginx, which I barely know when I know a lot about apache2 having sys admin skills.
So tonight, I grabbed my dedicated server (which is much faster to download composer dependencies by the way), and I have this vhost:
paste.debian.net/130339/
ll /var/www/AMI
_> ➜ sites-enabled ll /var/www/AMI
total 100K
drwxrwxrwx 12 root root 4.0K Jun 1 20:16 app
-rwxrwxrwx 1 root root 2.4K Jun 1 20:16 artisan
drwxrwxrwx 2 root root 4.0K Nov 5 00:18 bootstrap
-rwxrwxrwx 1 root root 697 Jun 1 20:16 composer.json
-rwxrwxrwx 1 root root 58K Nov 5 00:18 composer.lock
-rwxrwxrwx 1 root root 146 Jun 1 20:16 CONTRIBUTING.md
-rwxrwxrwx 1 root root 567 Jun 1 20:16 phpunit.xml
drwxrwxrwx 3 root root 4.0K Jun 1 20:16 public
-rwxrwxrwx 1 root root 2.1K Jun 1 20:16 readme.md
-rwxrwxrwx 1 root root 519 Jun 1 20:16 server.php
drwxrwxrwx 20 root root 4.0K Nov 5 00:19 vendor
When you go http://ami.dubstep.it you see the laravel welcome page.
So after that, I created this route:
Route::get('/', function()
{
return View::make('hello');
});
Route::get('/about', function()
{
return View::make('hello');
});
But if you go to the previous url and add /about then you get 404.
Can anyone explain me ?
Error log of apache:
[Wed Nov 05 00:26:12 2014] [error] [client 23.226.237.192] File does not exist: /var/www/AMI/public/about
.htaccess in the public folder:
paste.debian.net/130340/
Please help ! (modrewrite is enable)

Answer 1

Have you done
composer dump-autoload
in the laravel directory?
Just some information on the command:
What are differences between "php artisan dump-autoload" and "composer dump-autoload"
