Make sure that
- You have the document root set to /public
- Make sure that you have mod_rewrite enabled if it served by apache.
- Make sure that the index.blade.php file is in resources/views

InfinityFree Hosting Issue: InvalidArgumentException view not found
Website URL: littlesmartdaycare infinityfreeapp com
I am currently hosting my website on IF(infinityfree) subdomain.
This is the error I am running into. I googled and asked ChatGPT, all suggested that my controller is unable to locate my blade view, index.blade.php. However, I tested in my local environment and it ran successfully, then I uploaded my folder as is to IF filemanager via WinSCP. I understand that IF lack the command CLI to run compile & caching, so I did all that in my local machine then upload the updated files(Please let me know if this is incorrect, I am still inexperienced on this subject).
I will provide as much relevant code snippet as I believe so below:
index.blade.php

public function indexHome()
{
// Cut-off point for page nav btn is 15 pages (ellipsis will appear)
$posts = Post::orderBy('createdtime', 'desc')->paginate(5); // number of records per page
$posts->getCollection()->transform(function ($post) {
$post->images = json_decode($post->images);
return $post;
});
// pass an empty variable
// $posts = collect();
return view('index', compact('posts'));
}
}

)->name('index');
});
Extra Question: have you check your .env config and recache your config?
Answer: I did check .env as ChatGPT suggested before, as shown here
.env
APP_NAME="Little Smart Day Care Centre"
APP_ENV=local
APP_KEY=base64:D02P6ouibQnY+YdnpdMgDxYVpD8e6TP9ls/NmeL+SeA=

AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=
AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=
AWS_DEFAULT_REGION=us-east-1
AWS_BUCKET=
AWS_USE_PATH_STYLE_ENDPOINT=false
VITE_APP_NAME="${APP_NAME}"
On a side note, the reason I keep my env as local is due to my settings here:
AppServiceProvider.php
<?php
namespace App\Providers;
use Illuminate\Support\ServiceProvider;
use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\URL;
class AppServiceProvider extends ServiceProvider
{
/**
* Register any application services.
*/
public function register(): void
{
//
}
/**
* Bootstrap any application services.
*/
public function boot(): void
{
// Convert HTTP to HTTPS when
// [.env] file [APP_ENV] variable = "production"
if ($this->app->environment('production')) {
URL::forceScheme('https');
}
}
}
And for people who want me to double check my uploaded directory, here are my screenshots: (I am unable to post link on first day, I'll think of a solution in a while)
These are all the relevant info I can think of, please let me know how can I assist in pointing out the root cause. Thank you.

- I am aware of that, infinityfree hosting defaults root to /htcdocs which is where I placed my folders, however I need to direct all request to /public for my index.php to boot laravel.
- I am uncertain what provider infinityfree is using, given that I use xampp in my local testing environment, I am most likely using apache default settings.
- I received a lot of similar suggestions in other forums when I was desperate, and I have validated several times my files exist.
Thank you for your response, I appreciate it!

I finally traced the issue from the new observation.
Source issue: /htdocs/bootstrap/cache/config.php
Even though I manually cached & updated my files, this particular file doesn't update for the most part, for the code block in question here:
'view' =>
array (
'paths' =>
array (
0 => 'C:\\laravel_little_smart_website\\resources\\views',
),
'compiled' => 'C:\\laravel_little_smart_website\\storage\\framework\\views',
),
They are all pointing to my local setup, so after I change it to point to host folder:
'view' =>
array (
'paths' =>
array (
0 => '/home/vol14_2/infinityfree.com/if0_37135633/htdocs/resources/views',
),
'compiled' => '/home/vol14_2/infinityfree.com/if0_37135633/htdocs/storage/framework/views',
),
It finally works. Infinityfree unable to access command panel is really tedious.
Please or to participate in this conversation.
