500 SERVER ERROR in production

thanks for your support @jlrdw , you mean by running composer install ? Yes if that what you meant

thanks for your support @tisuchi , yes i did

@Zoul are you pointing to public as the document root? Also in index.php put:

echo "hello";

do you see hello?

@Zoul Try this-

composer dump-autoload

Then

composer update --no-scripts

@jlrdw yes i guess , its pointing to the root, i put echo "hello"; in index.php in public folder, and its printing the message in browser, and down i can still see500 SERVER ERRORerror

@Zoul I think you have a wrong folder structure. It's not finding the vendor folder. Can you show your basic folder structure? Also using apache or nginx?

@jlrdw Sure !

 public_html
	app
	bootstrap
	contig
	database
	public
	resources
	routes
	storage
	vendor
	editorconfig
	.env
	.htaccess
	error_log
	server.php
	etc

@jlrdw Ok, i will place it in public folder ... thanks

Thanks a lot @jlrdw i will look for it

@Zoul see @bobbybouwmann answer here: https://laracasts.com/discuss/channels/laravel/from-local-to-shared-hosting I suggest like that if new to this.

FYI I use this: http://novate.co.uk/deploy-laravel-5-on-shared-hosting-from-heart-internet/

If Apache.

Thanks a lot @jlrdw these links, very informative,

I moved the htaccess file to public folder and it redirected to index.php file in public

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    <IfModule mod_negotiation.c>
        Options -MultiViews
    </IfModule>
    RewriteEngine On
    # Redirect Trailing Slashes...
    RewriteRule ^(.*)/$ / [L,R=301]

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

Then i enabled APP_DEBUG=true in env file and got this error although i'm checking $side_books variable before displaying it in component

Undefined variable $side_books (View: /home/oaahtnot/public_html/resources/views/components/book-sidebar.blade.php)

BookSidebar component

<?php

namespace App\View\Components;

use Illuminate\View\Component;
use App\Models\Book;
use Hashids\Hashids;
class BookSidebar extends Component
{

    /**
     * Create a new component instance.
     *
     * @return void
     */
    public function __construct()
    {
        // 
    }

    /**
     * Get the view / contents that represent the component.
     *
     * @return \Illuminate\Contracts\View\View|\Closure|string
     */
   public function render()
    {
        $hash = new Hashids('', 10); // pad to length 10
        $side_books = Book::select('id','title','name','file')->take(5)->ge();
        return view('components.book-sidebar',compact('side_books','hash')); 
    }
}

@Zoul Hi, I think this is a different question so if your previous question was solved mark it as solved by selecting the best answer and open a new thread for a new question. :)

thanks @iftekhs :) i guess, i was not seeing this error at the beginning becaus i did not enabled the debug mode but @jlrdw helped me alot with htaccess , i will open a new one if that what you recommand :)
