Laravel white page 500 internal server error

Question

I have some problems with Laravel 5. I installed PHP and Apache on my server, I used composer to install Laravel with composer create-project laravel/laravel foldername but wenn I try to visit the /public folder in my browser I just see a white page and the dev log says a 500 internal server error.

In my apache error log I have the following: [Mon Aug 31 19:19:15.855570 2015] [:error] [pid 23556] [client 10.0.2.2:58505] PHP Fatal error: Uncaught exception 'UnexpectedValueException' with message

I have like 20 or 30 of more or less the same entrys in my log.

I set the rights to: chown -R :www-data /var/www/test chmod -R 755 /var/www/test chmod -R 777 /var/www/test/storage

Any ideas how I can get Laravel up and running? (Homestead is not possible for my project)

Answer 1

According to the Laravel documentation( http://laravel.com/docs/5.0/configuration#after-installation ), folders within storage and vendor should have write access by the web server.

I think you should run like this :

chmod -R 777 /var/www/test/storage
chmod -R 777 /var/www/test/vendor

Answer 2

正如@Binggre所建议的，您还应该包括此命令

chmod -R 777 /var/www/test/bootstrap/cache
