View [index] not found in Laravel 5.4 Production

Question

I'm having issues with a laravel 5.4 app deployed on shared hosting. I'm getting the error

(1/1) InvalidArgumentException View [index] not found.

in FileViewFinder.php (line 137) at FileViewFinder->findInPaths('index', array('D:\\wamp64\\www\\oagc\\resources\\views')) in FileViewFinder.php (line 79)

This is what I have done so far

1. Clear routes in development server (my laptop)

2. Moved all folders and files in my app root folder except public folder to /home/tmworkxc/oagc

3. Moved all folders and files in app public folder to public_html/oagconsult.ng folder

4. Edited public_html/oagconsult.ng/index.php

   require __DIR__.'/../../oagc/bootstrap/autoload.php';

   $app = require_once __DIR__.'/../../oagc/bootstrap/app.php';

Did I miss anything that is causing the error?

Answer 1

Closures cannot be serialized, therefore your route which uses a closure (anonymous function) cannot be cached.

Check this code to see my point: https://3v4l.org/BcVJi

$x = function(){return 'whatever';};
serialize($x);

Answer 2

Resolved the issue running the command php artisan config:clear . I have no idea why php artisan config:cache did not work but i'll update my answer when i find out the reason.

Answer 3

Just delete all files in the bootstrap/cache folder of the server. Now the server will not use the cache of the localhost.
