Very new to craft CMS, recently just installed XAMPP with php 7 and craft 3 and followed the getting started tutorial from Craft CMS. Then when I try to preview or open the page created from the tutorial, it gives me a 404 template not found error.

The error is as follows:

yii\web\NotFoundHttpException: Template not found: $PRIMARY_SITE_URL/$PRIMARY_SITE_URL/blog/this-is-my-blog in C:\xampp\htdocs\craft\vendor\craftcms\cms\src\controllers\TemplatesController.php:92
Stack trace:

#9 C:\xampp\htdocs\craft\web\index.php(23): yii\base\Application->run()
#10 {main}

and it looks like this: enter image description here

I have followed all the instructions in the tutorial, and have created the _entry.twig in my templates/blog folder. Any help would be much appreciated

  • Do you have a PRIMARY_SITE_URL key in your .env file? For example, your .env file might have PRIMARY_SITE_URL="http://example.test"

  • @ajamesm No, it doesn't seem like I have it in my .env file. How do I add this in if I am running on localhost at the moment? would it just be PRIMARY_SITE_URL=localhost?

  • OH WAIT, i put PRIMARY_SITE_URL="localhost/craft/web" and it worked! Thank you so much. I couldn't find any documentations on PRIMARY_SITE_URL, where was I supposed to add this key in?

You have to go to your Admin Dashboard > Settings > Sites > Your site and delete Base URL field, then save it and try to navigate.
