Question: Where do I go wrong!!!!
Additionally, a 500 Internal Server Error error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

Hi Tray2,
Thanks for the reply.
But, not that easy...
sudo: add-apt-repository: command not found
That's mostly te thing, the default tutorials are missing some things.

I've followed that guide myself without any issues.
What user are you logged in as?
Have you done sudo su?
Just ran the command on my server and no issue.

And after:
sudo apt-get install software-properties-common
the command: sudo composer create-project laravel/laravel your-project --prefer-dist was working, but still error 500

If your linux skills aren't very strong, I'd highly recommend using a service like Laravel Forge to set the server up for you.

You should never use sudo when running composer. All the files it generates belongs to root if you do and www-data can't read them.
To get it working you need to sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/<your-site>then you need to `sudo chmod -R 755 /var/www/<your-site>/storage
It's better to remove the folder and then create new Laravel project.
Updated to 755 since it's "bad" practice.
Level 102
Shouldn't that have been
sudo chmod -R 755 /var/www/<your-site>/storage
:)
Level 1
`sudo chmod -R 777 /var/www/<your-site>/storage lets not do that.... never never never put 777 on you server!
If you do so the whole world can write on your files
Level 102
To be fair, it requires others to have access to the server. But best practice is 755

Thank Sinnbeck ;-) but still not working
Level 102
Get errors? Using apache or nginx? Check the log files under /var/log

@tray2 Well don't want to highjack this thread but let's say I put in a php file in the public storage directory that extracts all config variables, and then call it using the website though public storage
Level 73
@sinnbeck True but wouldn't that also be true with 755, since when you hit that file it's run as www-data?
Level 102
@tray2 yes but as other users can't add files, they can't add the php file. 5 is read and execute :)
Sorry. I will focus on the issue at hand now

in your virtual host config, the document root needs to be the public folder
DocumentRoot "/var/www/vhosts/domainname.nl/subdomainname/laravel/public"
