Getting a 500 Internal Server Error on Laravel 5+ Ubuntu 14.04
I have installed Laravel many times on Windows OS but it never occurred this type of problem. This 500 internal server usually occurs when your "mod_rewrite" module is not turned on.
However, on Ubuntu 14.04 this problem is giving me a headache. I have installed rewrite_mod but it's also not working. I've given access to all my folders and files inside i.e.
/var/www/html/laravel_project
Still it doesn't work. Changed .htaccess as well from original to this.
+FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^ index.php [L]
I have all the necessary extensions needed for Laravel 5+ as well. Is there something left that I didn't do?
Answer
Finally Overcame the problem
- It was not the .htaccess file that was the problem nor the index.php. The problem was on accessing the files and requiring permissions.
For solving the problem i ran the following commands through terminal.
sudo chmod -R 755 laravel_blog
and then type below to allow laravel to write file to storage folder
chmod -R o+w laravel_blog/storage
This two commands solved the problem.
