When I try to run laravel app using XAMPP localhost, it gives me a white screen of death. However, when I use artisan serve, the app works fine.
Here are the steps that I did: 1. I installed composer globally. 2. Install laravel using the zip file and also through composer. Through zip file, I ran composer install.
When I run localhost/my_app/public, it gives me blank white screen.
Seeing previous answers, I did some things
Added this to bash_profile:
export PATH=/Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/bin:$PATH
On running which php, I get this:
/Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/bin/php
Not able to figure out what would be the exact issue.
I think there is a problem with the storage directory access rights. You can change it's mod to 777 or assign the user(with which apache runs in XAMPP) the ownership of the storage directory.
Here is an example of the command to use:
sudo chmod -R 777 storage
Similarly, for assigning ownership:
sudo chown storage [user]:[group]
have u tried pointing to htdocs and run ?
composer create-project laravel/laravel myproject --prefer-dist
Try: php artisan cache:clear
then chmod -R 777 your_laravel_folder_path/storage
finally php artisan dump-autoload
If you trying in XAMPP then your_laravel_folder_path will /Applications/XAMPP/htdocs/YOUR_PROJECT_FOLDER . That folder contains storage directory.
Thanks in advance.
