Index page is not coming / showing in laravel framework - laravel

I am using Ubuntu 14.04LTS. Here is what i have done till now:
I have installed composer using curl,
move this composer.phar file to usr/local/bin directory
Created project laravel in my root folder i.e. var/www/html
Change the permission of app/storage folder.
Created the file name as laravel.conf like 000-default.conf in etc/apache2/site-avaliable directory.
edit that laravel.conf file from terminal and save that file.
disable 000-default.conf file and enable laravel.conf file.
restarted the apache2 service.
Here is my problem: now i am trying to run it from my localhost but it does not show index.php page of my project laravel.
Any help to sort this, will be highly appreciated.

Laravel builds its own output based on your controllers, generally utilizing view files (blades) as templates. Unless you specifically tell it to in your controller, it will not return a static or dynamic index.php page. If this is your first Laravel project, I recommend reading up on how routing works at http://laravel.com/docs/5.0/routing .

500 issue with Laravel

I have seen this answer in many posts but they have not helped me at all. I followed the regular steps to create the laravel project like this:
I cloned from my repository.
I ran composer update.
I added 777 permissions to storage and bootstrap folders.
I have a .env file.
I verfied the .htacces and it's ok.
It is working in locahost, but when I try to replicate it in Hostinger it does not work, it displays the 500 server error. So I wonder what is the problem?
I checked the logs by the way and they were empty. I put the laravel project debugger to true too.
the website url is xellin.com
The debug:
The logs folder:
Thanks.
I think this is a good opportunity to point out how PHP / Laravel / Underlying Server interacts one to each other.
First:
The HTTP server inspects Document Root and .htaccess to get instructions.
If the file is .php (like Laravel), then it CALLS to the php handler.
The php handler could be a FPM version or a Fast CGI version.
-> If an error ocurrs parsing the .htaccess or with the initial interaction between Http Server and PHP... Laravel never runs for real. All ends in a PHP error log
To find out what's wrong, you need to inspect what PHP / Http Server said about the error in their respective logs.
In short words: at this point is not a Laravel error, but a server/php one.
Second:
If Apache/PHP runs well, then PHP executes the Laravel Applicacion Lifecycle... if Laravel encounters a problem, then you will see the usual output error of Laravel Error Handler.
I think this is a must to know to work with web apps in general, because many times developers miss to catch if the problem was with Laravel, or with PHP / Server itself.
As a side note, that's why it is important to know how to choose propper hosting service for Laravel.
Thanks for reading.
You can try to clear cache
Like as
php artisan optimize
Or
You can manually delete cache files which is located in bootstrap folder and inside bootstrap folder you can see cache folder inside cache folder delete all files except git ignore file your issue fix
If you show again this error on live serve then tou can update your composer and then run
php artisan optimize
at first, if you give any of your folders 777 permissions, you are allowing ANYONE to read, write and execute any file in that directory.... what this means is you have given ANYONE (any hacker or malicious person in the entire world) permission to upload ANY file, virus or any other file, and THEN execute that file...so please be careful because IF YOU ARE SETTING YOUR FOLDER PERMISSIONS TO 777 YOU HAVE OPENED YOUR SERVER TO ANYONE THAT CAN FIND THAT DIRECTORY. please read the full explanation from here
the second here is the detailed steps I used to deploy my projects to the server:
run npm run production then update your github repo.
clone the project from GITHUB to server - clone to an outside folder (not public_html folder)
run cd <cloned folder name>
run composer install
run npm install
copy and configure .env file to cloned folder( be sure name is .env not env).
copy all content of cloned_project_folder_name/public to public_html folder
in index.php inside public_html folder edit as below
$app = require_once __DIR__.'/../cloned_project_folder_name/bootstrap/app.php';
require __DIR__.'/../cloned_project_folder_name/vendor/autoload.php';
set your .htaccess properly.
change permission to 755 to index.php and all file in public_html folder
run composer install --optimize-autoloader --no-dev
run php artisan config:cache
run php artisan route:cache
I think I state it all, hope that will help

How to deploy Laravel 5.5 on shared hosting without composer

I am trying to deploy a Laravel project on shared hosting. I copied the Laravel folder in user's root directory (/home/shrpr) and copied the content of public directory in /home/shrpr/www folder. I modified the index.php in public folder to include "../Laravel" as explained in site. Since, composer is not allowed on this shared hosting, I also copied my local vendor and storage folder along with laravel folder. But I still keep on getting error 500. So, I added a test.php file in the laravel folder and included it in index.php file to test if path and all is correct as under:
require __DIR__.'/../laravel/test.php'; die;
This works fine as the content of test.php is getting displayed properly. So, it looks like some dependencies of vendor folder is missing. Is there a way of identifying and uploading complete dependencies of laravel and uploading it, that is without use of composer?
Try composer update before upload to shared hosting.
Change permissons of your index.php to 644.
Check your enviroment, maybe isn't works.
Wich version of php is running in your shared hosting? and wich is yor Laravel version, change php version to 7.0
Make sure you have PHP 5.5+ installed on the server. Move the index.php file from public to www and change the paths accordingly.
Another way to deploy laravel on shared hosting is to set up your domain as addon domain and then set root folder of the addon domain to the /public folder of the laravel project. eg. home/mili/laravelproject/public
I tried this with godaddy and it worked.

Install Laravel on dedicated server's subfolder

So I am having an issue with pushing a Laravel app to production on a dedicated server's subfolder.
Server is run on Apache.
Url I want to push my app would be subdomain.domain.com/project
The structure of my dedicated server is
.cpanel
...
-laravel
-app
-vendor
-...
-public_ftp
-public_html
-folder
-contents of laravels public directory
-ssl
I know that in order not to expose my hidden files I am required to install it in a root directory, but this is not an option because I will be having multiple projects running under subdomain.domain.com/project-1, subdomain.domain.com/project-2 and etc... and all will have a separate laravel installation.
I need a hand in order to achieve that, can anyone give me some advice?
Managed to do it myself, the problem was when i was creating a symlink, so instead i just moved contents of my public directory to public_html/project-1/ and changed index.php path to /../../laravel/
The thing was that I have done it originally but I didnt expect that permissions for storage need to be manually set, that solved my issue and laravel works.
ALWAYS CHECK ERROR LOGS :)
You can place your separate folders in your subdomain with no problem.
The important thing is that you need to point the browser to public/ folder under your laravel projects.
You can create a .htaccess file with the command below in root folder of each project and perform a redirect.
Place the following command in your .htaccess file:
RedirectMatch ^/$ /public/

How to run laravel 5.0 project on localhost without use php artisan serve

I have created a laravel 5.0 project with php artisan serve, now i need to know how to run laravel 5.0 project run without start php artisan serve, i have already browse lot of websites no one help me..
You need to change "server.php" to "index.php" then copy ".htaccess" from public to root directory.
See: https://stackoverflow.com/a/30053989/3948755
Laravel sever Folder is "public". There is an index.php so you can run you project from there.
Suppose if you using UbuntuOS then you have to create your local server in public directory. Suppose your folder name is laravel_test then go in that directory and run some thing like this
php -S localhost:8000 -t public
If you using windows then access public folder from URL.
localhost/laravel/public
Actually it's bad practise to access folder from URL but for local its good. You also can go with host entry. Just make sure that your target folder is "public" directory.
Normally you would have WAMP/XAMPP installed. You can access Laravel project like below
localhost/laravel/public
But this is not recommended. You should create Virtual host for example
laravel.local that pints to server-root/laravel/public.
this is how you create virtual host.
Or even better go for a Laravel Homestead .
How is your .htaccess file configured?
Try with localhost/laravel/public/index.php
Use http://localhost/projectName/public
It will be work. but in case if you have another Route and you can not access that Route and get the error like " Page Not Found " then please use the following command
sudo a2enmod rewrite
Now open the http://localhost/projectName/public/yourRoute
This is a little late but still applicable, what I like to do (using ubuntu 14.x+) is put my laravel project (let's say Project1) in my var directory, so it would be in /var/Project1, then symlink the public folder to somewhere in /var/www(+/html depending on apache version).
Symlink can be done something like this:
ln -s /var/Project1/public /var/www/html
This keeps your internal files off the grid so to speak, this is untested so if I've missed anything just comment and I will amend this post.
EDIT:
Obviously if your http root is /var/www/html you can put your project in /var/www/Project1
If you have access to xampp or wampp on your operating system you can more or less configure your virtual host like in the instruction below:
https://bestin-it.com/creating-virtualhost-on-your-local-computer-to-start-simple-index-php/
This instruction shows how to run it locally on your PC, but it works generally the same on any hosting portals. In most case in payed portals you have any web panels to configure your public folder that reference to /public folder in laravel folder's structure.

Exclude directory from laravel 4 routing

I have laravel4 installed at my webserver in the sub directory laravel4 of my web root. in this web root directory there is another directory called modx which serves a MODX cms. before I had laravel4 installed i could open www.mydomain/modx to get the frontend of the cms. Now it is controled by laravel and I get an error. Web server is an apache2.
Maybe an illustration is better:
webroot /var/www/
│
├--laravel4/ <-serve/process via laravel
├--modx/ <-do not process via laravel
So what do I need to configure the only the laravel4 sub-directory is affected by laravel? is it the .htaccess file?
The best practice and for security sake, you should put laravel folder somewhere else other than web root.
And add a symlink from laravel folder to your web root. For example, execute following in Terminal
ln -s /path/to/your/laravel-master/public /path/to/your/web_root/laravel
