Laravel 5.2 throws HTTP ERROR 500

Question

I am using laravel 5.2 setup of pre-built project. I am looking to show errors on browser window for any issue happens. I know a simple step to do that which is to modify the APP_DEBUG to true in .env file which is pointed by app.php config file with parameter debug . I did check that.

Additionally,

1. I added ini_set property in index file to display_errors as true .

2. Along with this, I commented all the $dontReport exceptions from app/Exceptions/Handler.php file-

    AuthorizationException::class, HttpException::class, ModelNotFoundException::class, ValidationException::class, 

3. Given 777 permission to my project directory.

At the end, all these crazy methods didn't workout. I tried all I was aware of. Looking for help from you guys.

Step 1/2/3 is not necessary for Laravel and you should revert those changes.

Only APP_DEBUG=true in your .env file is required. If you are working on a local machine you should also set APP_ENV=local. To locate the 500 error without the browser you can always go look in the log file directly which is located at storage/logs.
