but when i run php artisan serve it's work correctly , so what i should do ?
looks like you don't have permission to write to storage folder, update permission with
sudo chmod -R 755 storage
answer for question form the title. You can't use artisan serve for production.
You should configure your root document to be /public
@Sergiu17 after i use
sudo chmod -R ugo+rw storage
the error are goes , but the dashboard is notfound 404 :D - but in serve it works
php artisan route:list
so the result

there's no domain
@mahmoudadelali When you run php artisan serve, the first line it prints to the console is:
Starting Laravel development server: http://127.0.0.1:8000
This should indicate that no, it’s not suitable for production use.
Instead, as @sergiu17 mentions, you should configure your Apache or nginx site properly. You should set the document root to be your application’s public directory. Otherwise you risk exposing sensitive files like your .env file and configuration files.
@martinbean thank you i was forgot the Apache config with
<Directory "/var/www/html/crm/crm/Laravel-Smarthr/public/">
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
Require all granted
Allow from all
Allowoverride All
</Directory>
and i get my answer is never use serve to production
@MahmoudAdelAli In addition to the above you need to set Document Root
DocumentRoot /var/www/html/crm/crm/Laravel-Smarthr/public/
<Directory "/var/www/html/crm/crm/Laravel-Smarthr/public/">
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
Require all granted
Allow from all
Allowoverride All
</Directory>
