路线不在laravel上工作

Question

I have this route defined Route::resource('smn','smnController');

And this controller smnController which as following code.

public function index()
{
    return "hello";
}

In console when I type php artisan routes, it displays

GET|HEAD smn | smn.index | smnController@index

along with many others.

In the url when I type http://localhost:8081/laravel/smn, it displays error not found.

But when I change route to Route::resource('/','smnController');, and url to http://localhost:8081/laravel/ it displays helo.

Can anyone please explain this

EDIT

<?php

Route::resource('smn','smnController');

AND COntroller

<?php

class smnController extends BaseController {



    public function index()
    {
        return "hello";
    }

}
