Update:
php artisan serve works fine on windows with the same configuration. but native php and apache can't handle that.

Laravel 5.4 on CentOS 7 and PHP 7 (Production)
I'm trying to deploy a laravel application on centos 7, but every time I get 500 internal error. the httpd log says "Permission Denied on writing on 'storage/log/laravel.log' by Monolog", but I already tried every possible option and solution, like giving storage 775 or 777 permission, changing the owner to 'apache:apache', clearing cache and dump. but none of them did the job. I'm really exhausted. I even tried on php 5.6 but that didn't fix it either. please help :(

Have you seen this question at stackoverflow? contains a fine answer, may be work for you also.

@shahroznawaz I said in the question that I've tried all 777, 775 and 755 permissions. and if you pay attention to the permission table I typed storage is already 775.
also my app does not have app/storage folder, I think it's changed to storage in laravel 5.

I am on Centos and usually get this when the perms are wrong on my storage folder.
Here is my working permissions:

@phpMick , is it ok to set everything to 777? how's that apache can run everything owned by mick user?
Level 1
@phpMick changed every permission to 777, but still the same error!

mick is the username I SSH in with.
Try apache and www.

@phpMick I tried apache:www but it says: chown: invalid group: ‘apache:www’, my apache version is
Server version: Apache/2.4.6 (CentOS)

Are you running chown/chmod with the '-R' flag (recursive)? Eg chown -R apache storage. If you have already done that - try running sestatus to check if selinux is maybe causing the problem. If it says it is enabled try running setenforce 0 and see if you can write to the logs ok.
Level 1
@ohffs I think my problem is solved (at least in dev env) by changing SELinux enforcing status. I should test this on my production server. is there any way to do this with enforcing enabled?
Level 50
Yeah - but it's not very friendly, sadly :-/ It's something like the below - but my selinux-foo is fading fast as I usually give in and disable it (and feel guilty, but there we go) :
semanage fcontext -a -t 'httpd_cache_t' '/path/to/your/storage(/.*)?'
restorecon -Rvvv /path/to/your/storage
But you might want to google about and see if there's some better selinux advice :-)
