I have installed Laravel and began trying to write an app. I made some directories for my assets in the same directory as /app. But when I try to visit an image in my localhost for example: http://localhost/assets/images/image.png

I've also tried it on: http://localhost/app/assets/images/image.png

I ran into the problem when I was trying to set a background image in a view, and it kept going to 404.

This is what my app looks like under app/

->app
->assets
->commands
->config
->controllers
->database
->lang
->models
->start
->storage
->tests
->views
app.txt
routes.php
filters.php

But I get errors about requests. I have double checked that the url is correct.

Symfony \ Component \ HttpKernel \ Exception \ NotFoundHttpException

You have to put all your assets in app/public folder, and to access them from your views you can use asset() helper method.

Ex. you can retrieve assets/images/image.png in your view as following:

<img src="{{asset('assets/images/image.png')}}">
