    public function _construct() {

if you are running laravel project locally, it can run through its own server. you dont need apache server form wamp or xampp,,but you will need their mysql database. So start only that if you require database.

Now go to command prompt, navigate to the directory where your project is stored eg cd c:/wamp/www/yourprojet and then type following command

php artisan serve

it will start on port 8000 by default. and you can now access your project at 'http://localhost:8000/'

and you can access your view at 'http://localhost:8000/main'

Also you can find laravel tutorials and other at laracast

Try to change the class name to Main (now is main, in lowecase)

I learnt Laravel by their awesome tutorial: https://laravel.com/docs/4.2/quick

I changed Main to main and I am trying to acces like this http://localhost:90/laravel/public/ still not working – Mark Alan Jun 29 '16 at 11:26
Your web server has to be pointing at the public folder of the laravel installation. Then, you can go to localhost:90/main – Nil Llisterri Jun 29 '16 at 11:29
where can i found and configure these – Mark Alan Jun 29 '16 at 11:31
If you are using Apache without VHosts you can change the web root in httpd.conf, if you are using VHosts point the right one to the folder. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5891802/how-do-i-change-the-root-directory-of-an-apache-server – Nil Llisterri Jun 29 '16 at 11:36
mine is then pointed though right this is my documnet root line DocumentRoot "c:/wamp/www/" – Mark Alan Jun 29 '16 at 11:41
Then change it to your laravel public folder path – Nil Llisterri Jun 29 '16 at 11:44
DocumentRoot "c:/wamp/www/laravel/public" not working either :( – Mark Alan Jun 29 '16 at 11:46

make a view in resources->views, something like my-view.blade.php

Then return view('my-view');

That my-view.blade.php can have whatever HTML you want in it

Go to your resources/views folder create file with filename.blade.php.

Now in your routes.php:

Route::get('main', 'Main@index');

And in your controller add this function:

public function index() {
    return view('filename');
}
