deploying laravel error on shared host - laravel

Question

I am deploying my laravel 5.4 project on a shared host using subdomain
I installed composer, changed paths of index.php , vendor paths , DB host, username , etc..
I am getting the following error
Fatal error: Uncaught UnexpectedValueException: There is no existing directory at "/storage/logs" and its not buildable: Permission denied in
/vendor/monolog/monolog/src/Monolog/Handler/StreamHandler.php:171
I tried the following commands :
php artisan cache:clear
php artisan clear-compiled
sudo chmod -R 777 storage/ -R
but (composer dump-autoload ) gives an error because php -v is 5 although I am choosing it to be 7 in the cpanel
I tried also setenforce 0
but nothing happened .. can any one help please??

Answer 1

php artisan route:clear
php artisan config:clear
php artisan cache:clear
works for me!

Answer 2

This is a Duplicate of: see here
Check in laravel root folder your .env file :
a) Check if you have .env file , if not copy-paste .env.example to .env
b) APP_DEBUG = true (when deploying to a server, after checking your app - change on false)
c) APP_KEY = (these must be empty)
d) Save .env file
e) Run php artisan key:generate
f) Open your website (all another errors server return)
Run composer install
This is my solution for apache2 on Ubuntu 20.4
I assume you already did the Steps from phwt & Taras. These are still necessary.
You need to change:
ServerName to your IP Address or Domain
DocumentRoot to the Path to your public Laravel directory
RewriteCond %{SERVER_NAME} = to your IP Address or Domain
File: /etc/apache2/sites-available/laravel.conf
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName www.mylaravelproject.com
ServerAdmin webmaster#localhost
DocumentRoot /var/www/laravel/public/
<Directory /var/www/laravel/public/>
AllowOverride All
</Directory>
ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log
CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{SERVER_NAME} =www.mylaravelproject.com
RewriteRule ^ https://%{SERVER_NAME}%{REQUEST_URI} [END,NE,R=permanent]
</VirtualHost>
After Saving this run:
sudo a2ensite laravel.conf
sudo systemctl restart apache2
(Optional, but recommended) If you want to use an SSL Cert do:
sudo certbot
and follow the instructions
