Hosting Laravel system 5.3 in subdomain

Question

Good afternoon. I have a problem to upgrade my system created with Laravel 5.3 for hosting.

I created a folder for Project and put the files in the folder public for public_html. I made the appropriate redirects, but I have an error ERROR 500 - INTERNAL SERVER ERROR

I did some research, and saw some problems related to file configuration . htaccess, the version of php tbm is ok.

The . htaccess file is as follows:

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    <IfModule mod_negotiation.c>
            Options -MultiViews
    </IfModule>
AddHandler application/x-httpd-php55 .php

    RewriteEngine On

    # Redirect Trailing Slashes If Not A Folder...
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
    RewriteRule ^(.*)/$ /$1 [L,R=301]

    # Handle Front Controller...
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
    RewriteRule ^ index.php [L]

    # Handle Authorization Header
    RewriteCond %{HTTP:Authorization} .
    RewriteRule .* - [E=HTTP_AUTHORIZATION:%{HTTP:Authorization}]

</IfModule>

Has anyone ever been through something like that And could give me a hand ?

Answer 1

It doesn’t look like a mod_rewrite error, if it were it would be for not having active, but there is a if.

First to be sure of the problem, look up the PHP error log (it is a file . txt, this configured in php.ini)

Note that Laravel 5.3 as the documentation shows https://laravel.com/docs/5.3#server-Requirements accurate:

• PHP 5.6.4 or greater
• Openssl extension for PHP
• PDO extension for PHP
• Mbstring extension for PHP
• Tokenizer extension for PHP
• XML extension for PHP

If you’re in a version inferior to 5.6.4 this error will occur for sure. Not having active extensions also causes the error sometimes, note that the error 500 is displayed because PHP is in production mode and so does not show details of the error, it is best to look at the log.

All extensions can be enabled in php.ini if it’s Like-Unix hosting:

extension=openssl.so
extension=pdo.so
extension=pdo_mysql.so
extension=mbstring.so
extension=tokenizer.so

XML I believe is compiled together with PHP, so if you don’t have (which I find impossible) it will be kind of hard to solve.

Note: the PDO example is for mysql, if it is another database see http://php.net/manual/en/pdo.installation.php

If it is Windows-server:

extension=php_openssl.dll
extension=php_pdo.dll
extension=php_pdo_mysql.dll
extension=php_mbstring.dll
extension=php_tokenizer.dll

And you also need to have the mod_rewrite enabled, but this usually does not cause error 500.

To know where the log is, you can create a file called teste.php (delete later) and put something like:

<?php
echo 'Log:';
var_dump(ini_get('error_log'));

So run him like this: http://meusite.com/teste.php, turn up NULL is because there is no log configured, so you will have to configure and access to PHP.INI depends a lot on how the server releases, so you will have to talk to the hosting support.

Moving to public_html

As I explained here /a/91799/3635, note also that the folder structure should look like this:

/home/user/
   |--- /access-logs     (pasta padrão em servidores com cpanel)
   |--- /etc             (pasta padrão em servidores com cpanel)
   |--- /public_ftp      (pasta padrão em servidores com cpanel)
   |--- /tmp             (pasta padrão em servidores com cpanel)
   |--- /public_html     (pasta padrão em servidores com cpanel)
          |--- index.php (arquivo da pasta /public)
          |--- .htaccess (arquivo da pasta /public)
   |--- /app             (pasta do seu projeto laravel)
   |--- /bootstrap       (pasta do seu projeto laravel)
   |--- /config          (pasta do seu projeto laravel)
   |--- /database        (pasta do seu projeto laravel)

Giving a feedback on the problem ...

I followed the hostgator support tip and used this tutorial to install the server via Composer:

http://forum.hostgator.com.br/topic/1297-instalando-laravel/

With the tutorial I managed to install the Lockable, created a new project and replaces the files for my project that was trying to upgrade to the server. All working now !

Thank you Guilherme Nascimento for your help.
