Answer 1

It's Look like storage permission problem.

Permissions for storage

We also need to set correct permissions for storage files in the server. So, we need to give a write permission in the storage directory as follows:

$ chmod -R 777 ./storage ./bootstrap

or you may use

$ sudo chmod -R 777 ./storage ./bootstrap

For windows

Make sure you are an admin user on that computer with writeable access

xampp\htdocs\laravel\app\storage needs to be writable

Hope it helped you!.

You need to use composer to install the vendor components. Ie run the following command from the Laravel directory, providing you have composer already installed:

composer install
