laravel 5 heroku 404找不到nginx

Question

I'm getting a pretty weird error while trying to deploy a Laravel 5 application to Heroku. If I try to access my root domain https://my-app.herokuapp.com it works fine. However, if I try to access and other domain that is / something aka https://my-app.herokuapp.com/api/v1/users it gives me a 404 not found. Heroku is actually trying to go to the folder /api/v1/users instead of reading the routes file.

here is my Procfile:

web: vendor/bin/heroku-php-nginx public/

now if I try the same thing but with an apache server it works fine:

web: vendor/bin/heroku-php-apache2 public/

Found a solution on http://laravel.com/docs/4.2/installation#pretty-urls

I has the same problem. Basically, I just added .htaccess file on the /public folder and everything works now.
