LV5 Environments on Hosting Server

Yeah, either of those works.

To be consistent I would choose creating the .env file by myself on the production server.

You can also set them within PHP itself (PHP-FPM pool) if you use Nginx or Apache has it's own one.

@bashy hosting laravel application on apache server, after following the instruction here http://laravel.io/forum/03-06-2015-how-to-setup-laravel-5-in-shared-hosting?page=1#reply-22311

but after i follow the instruction, it display internal server error... check below

Internal Server Error The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request. Please contact the server administrator, and inform them of the time the error occurred, and anything you might have done that may have caused the error. More information about this error may be available in the server error log.

Please what can i do?

Check error logs, could be 1 of 1,000 things.

I checked the logs but nothing was there... here is the folder structure
[laravel framework]
[css]
[fonts]
[js]
.htacess
.index.php
robots.txt

from my index.php, i have

require DIR.'/../[laravel framework]/bootstrap/autoload.php';
$app = require_once DIR.'/../[laravel framework]/bootstrap/app.php';

i'm feeling there was a mistake somewhere which i can;t identify... maybe from the include URL above. here is my .HTACESS information
