title: Laravel 'hello' view doesn't load
body: <p>This may look like the most basic of basic questions but it's been driving me nuts for an hour.</p>
  
  <p>I just installed Laravel on my dedicated server, to a "test" directory, using</p>
  
  <pre><code>php composer.phar create-project laravel/laravel /home/my_username/public_html/test 4.2 --prefer-dist
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>All the right files/directories appeared in the "test" directory, I had to add the permission to "my_username" to edit the files with</p>
  
  <pre><code>chown -R my_username:my_username /home/my_username/public_html/test
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>...and I went in to edit the basic config. I only changed the URL from localhost to <code>http://jovansprojects.com/test</code> (feel free to visit) and I tried opening it in my browser.</p>
  
  <p>However, instead of loading the default 'home' view (looking at the routes file, that's what it should do), it displays the list of files and folders in /test/. I have not changed anything in any files except <code>app/config/app.php</code> where I changed the URL, but that doesn't even seem to have anything to do with it, as when I change it to anything else, the problem remains.</p>
  
  <p>This is the (default) routes.php file:</p>
  
  <pre><code>Route::get('/', function()
  {
      return View::make('hello');
  });
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>The <code>hello.php</code> view is present in the <code>views</code> folder as it should be.</p>
  
  <p>The Laravel docs never seem to consider the possibility that the home view won't load upon installation, nor can I find this problem online.</p>
  
  <p>So, any idea what the problem could be? Does Laravel need a specific port opened or something? Am I missing some config not mentioned in the installation and configuration guides?</p>
