Options +SymLinksIfOwnerMatch.
    </IfModule>

    RewriteEngine On

    # Handle Authorization Header
    RewriteCond %{HTTP:Authorization} .
    RewriteRule .* - [E=HTTP_AUTHORIZATION:%{HTTP:Authorization}]

    # Handle Front Controller...
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
    RewriteRule "^(.*)$ public/$1" [L]

</IfModule>

My Procfile is:

"web: vendor/bin/heroku-php-apache2 public/"

@ADRIANMCG85 - You need to install the heroku-cli and then set this way the environment variables

 heroku config:set HELLO=WORLD

To check it just run heroku config and you should see the keys values you just set

I have heroku-cli installed and have set hello=world. I also get APP_KEY value

Are those quotation marks (") in your Procfile? If so, remove them.

I also added an .htaccess to the root directory. This page isnt working and the logs are

PHP Fatal error:  require(): Failed opening required '/app/public/vendor/autoload.php' (include_path='.:/app/.heroku/php/lib/php') in /app/public/index.php on line 24

Which i believe is the

require __DIR__.'/vendor/autoload.php';

line on my index.php. File is being selected.

@ADRIANMCG85 - Did you make changes to index.php? I think the default line should be:

require __DIR__.'/../vendor/autoload.php';

Also, that's not what the default Laravel .htaccess file is supposed to look like?

Try using the default file: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/laravel/laravel/master/public/.htaccess

...or the alternative one in the docs: https://laravel.com/docs/5.8/installation#pretty-urls

...and check the Procfile like I said, it should not have quotation marks.

I also added an .htaccess to the root directory. This page isnt working and the logs are...

Why would you need do that? Don't randomly change or add things, otherwise it will be impossible to figure out where the actual problem is. Read the docs for Heroku and Laravel.

 ReflectionException
Class App\Http\Controllers\indexController does not exist

Is the controller supposed to have a lowercase "i" in its name or is it actually IndexController? Linux is case-sensitive while Windows is not (in most cases), so you might need to check your file/controller names if you've been developing on Windows.

in Procfile I remove " it works.
