500 error on shared hosting

Error 500 on shared hosting I have completed a project on laravel 5.6 and moved from localhost to hostgator shared hosting just like the way i uploaded other laravel 5.5 sites which are working fine. However the project on laravel 5.6 throws error 500. I'm confused why as everything seems to be ok

How to resolve this?

Mmh this can mean a lot of things. What PHP version do you use for this specific website?

Laravel 5.6 requires PHP7.1.3 and Laravel 5.5 requires PHP7.0
