Just deployed a new app to production and seeing a strange bug:
One of the pages has a PHP error and throws an exception. Strangely, it's a Symfony branded exception page (screenshot), different from the ones I've seen in Laravel before. Env file is already set to production environment and has APP_DEBUG=false.
Does anyone know how to fix this?
I've tried the following to clear & reset cache, but it didn't help
php artisan config:cache
Not sure if it matters, but the app was deployed using http://deployer.org with Deployer's Laravel recipe
The mostly likely reason for this is that when deployer runs composer install, it does so with the --no-dev option, which prevents the required packages from being installed. If you want to include dev packages upon deployment, add the following to deploy.php:
set('composer_options', '--verbose --prefer-dist --no-progress --no-interaction --optimize-autoloader');
This is the default composer_options value with --no-dev removed.
There are also slightly more complex options that include having different tasks for different hosts, which is detailed here: PHPDeployer: set variable for local task based on host?

I deployed the laravel app to digitalocean:
but I don't understand why is it showing error 500??
I connected a github repo to deploy it to digitalocean.
1- I set the build commands to: composer install
2- environment variables are set: APP_NAME, APP_URL, APP_KEY, DATABASE_URL, APP_DEBUG
This is how the repo looks (private)
What seems to be the issue??
I just did check the repo and it seems the vendors folder not there and your build steps look like a typo issue so please run below command
composer install
Still you face the issue then refer the laravel logs for that what went wrong
you also dont have a .env file
maybe copy the .env.example to .env
perhaps follow the instructions on the laravel site for the version you are using.
in your question, you have spelt 'install' incorrectly
turns out there were typos of lower and upper cases in controllers according to the laravel log.
I fixed them and now the site is running. It's weird that these typos didn't trigger erorrs locally..
All You have to do is configure the .env file if u have a .example.env edit the file to .env if u dont have it just try to create one or clone one from another project and do composer install but don't forget to generate a key with php artisan key:generate in the end
strangely I have never programmed locally, I am a beginner but unfortunately I have always created my little scripts directly live. I am using Laravel with Xampp, but now I would like to put my script online.
My question is, what files do I need to edit to make it effective online? At the moment I edit the .env file locally to connect to the database, but is it the same even if I put it online?
Thanks
Here you can find some basic information: https://laravel.com/docs/7.x/installation and https://laravel.com/docs/7.x/deployment
In general, to have a site in production (Laravel or not) it is better to manage your code with git (through Github, Gilab, etc.)
to have a clean version management (the alternative is to use Ftp trought Cpanel, ...).
If you are a beginner, you can go to https://forge.laravel.com/ which is a portal that greatly facilitates the production of a Laravel project.
Otherwise, a generic hosting is better that has the possibility to connect via ssh, in order to easily execute the commands
(composer install, php artisan, ...).
You can do many optimizations in production (I leave out the ones on the .env file you know):
When you do maintenance on the site it is always best to disable it first(status 503):
php artisan down
Upload the latest version of the code from the git repository:
git pull
Clean the item cache on the server:
php artisan cache:clear
Clean the route cache and recreate it (to do if there is no static code in web.php, but only references to code in the controller):
php artisan route:clear
php artisan route:cache
Clean and optimize the config file (reduces the number of files to be read from ten to one):
php artisan config:clear
php artisan config:cache
Clean up expired passwords and reset tokens (clean up tokens when a user requests a password reset):
php artisan auth:clear-resets
Recreate the framework classes or update the application:
composer dump-autoload or composer install
Activate the site:
php artisan up
I initially deployed my Laravel app with APP_DEBUG set to true, but now we're in production I don't want it to whoops! every time there's an error.
I've changed the contents of our EB .config file so that APP_DEBUG: false and I can see the change in Elastic Beanstalk's environment properties:
But Laravel itself is still dumping everything to the screen when there's an error.
I've tried ssh-ing into our server and running php artisan config:clear to see if it was that, but it still didn't work.
I don't understand why Laravel isn't respecting the updated configuration on deployment. Can anyone explain the logic here?
Update: I updated the security settings on the instance and noticed that it was giving our custom error screen. Can anyone explain what happened? Was restarting the server after running php artisan config:clear what did it?
I had issues like this before where I changed something in the console's environment properties which did not correspont with what I got using tinker. You can find the env file on your instance here:
/opt/elasticbeanstalk/deployment/env
if you open the file you see that variables set in .env are not quoted so if you have a password with for example a hashtag or a name with spaces it can result in unintended problems.
I would suggest to stop using environment variables via .yaml config files and start deploying your .env to the elastic beanstalk S3 bucket and fetching it on deployment. This will result in you having more control over the content of the file.
Example of this can be found here:
https://github.com/rennokki/laravel-aws-eb/blob/master/.ebextensions/00_copy_env_file.config
To be able to run Browser tests directly in my IDE (without using the artisan dusk command), I want to run php artisan serve --env=dusk.local. While it indeed starts the local PHP server, it uses the wrong database. It uses the database specified in .env not the one in .env.dusk.local.
I ran php artisan cache:clear thousands of times, but it doesn't change anything.
Running things like php artisan migrate --env=... works.
Is there a way to achieve my goal without needing to rename my .env.dusk.local file to .env before each test?
This is a bug in Laravel 5.8: https://github.com/laravel/framework/issues/27828
There is currently no solution (other than downgrading to Laravel 5.7).
It has been fixed in the latest release 5.8.7.
I have been working on a laravel5 project on a computer , but now I want to continue on an other, but don't know how :(
I'm using wampserver and the project is in the "www" folder, this is the error I'm getting when trying to open the project: " Internal Server Error
The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request"
Your error message is very vague, so it is hard to pinpoint the cause. I assume you just copy pasted all of the project files
Try these steps:
Make sure you copy all of the project files including the hidden ones(.env).
Prepare your destination computer as in http://laravel.com/docs/
Check you have all the necessary PHP extensions available in php.ini as in above link requirements. Also, watch your PHP version!
Install composer https://getcomposer.org/doc/00-intro.md
When copied, go to your destination folder and run composer install.
Run php artisan key:generate from the command line.
Run php artisan cache:clear from command line
http://php.net/manual/en/install.windows.commandline.php
Make sure your webserver is serving pages from project/public folder.
If laravel is failing, check the log file to see the cause
your_project/storage/logs/laravel.log
Copy the project folder and navigate terminal/cmd
just run following commands.
Create database and place the same name at .env file in laravel project folder
1. composer install
2. php artisan key:generate
3. php artisan cache:clear
4. php artisan migrate
UPDATE: If you're getting
Whoops, looks like something went wrong
in app/config/app.php, set debugging as true with:
'debug' => env('APP_DEBUG', true)'
If you're getting the error
No supported encrypter found. The cipher and/or key length are invalid
for some people it worked to do cp .env.example .env before (2).
You would also have to create new storage link, because Laravel uses absolute path inside it.
php artisan storage:link

After you have done as Ademord answer, you might need to use refresh to your WAMP, XAMP or any other development stack you are using. I had the same issue plus changes were not reflecting in the front end. For example new routes in the web.php were not updating.
