PHP Fatal error: Uncaught RuntimeException: A facade root has not been set.

@vasi_r Can you enable APP_DEBUG=true in env to get an error page? And can you click share on that and post a link ?

@Sinnbeck it's enabled but i don't have an error page, because on project load I get TTP ERROR 500

@vasi_r Did you run php artisan cache:clear afterwards ?

@vasi_r If you look through the complete stack trace, does it refer to any of your files at all ?

@Sinnbeck yes I run the command and no project related files in stack trace, only vendor files.

@vasi_r Hm ok weird. Did you change anything in index.php to get the project working locally? or is it 100% the version that ships with laravel? Is the project public on github?

@Sinnbeck it's 100% like I have it on local. THe project is in github.

@vasi_r Is it public and can you share a link ?

Also I didnt ask if it was the same as local. I asked if you had changed index.php :)

@Sinnbeck it's not public. And I did not change anything on index.php :)

@vasi_r Ok not sure where the issue then. Maybe check all of your files (like config/app.php or Http/Kernel.php) compared to https://github.com/laravel/laravel

@Sinnbeck I don't know either, that's why I wanted to see a different approach.

The error started after I added blink in the project and run composer install. I tried to remove it, but the error still remained, so I guess is not from that. The file structure is ok, app and Kernel also.

@vasi_r blink ? This ? https://packagist.org/packages/spatie/blink

Does it start working if you uninstall it again ?

@Sinnbeck Laravel blink . No, I tried that first thing. . Sorry for late reply, Laracast is saying that I need to take a breath :)

@vasi_r Yeah it rate limits to avoid spammers :) It gets better the longer you are here.

Just thinking if I can come up with a reason why it would happen. Perhaps checkout an older commit, before it stopped working?

@Sinnbeck I tried that, I had a deprecated branch with different php version and different Laravel version , and I get the same. I really don't understand the issue. I never encounter this type of error. I also suspected the server... but when I added an index.html it renders, so I excluded the server part.

@vasi_r I have seen it before, but it is always due to something like doing queries in a __construct() or similar, and therefor fails on both local and production.. This is new, and I am not really sure what to suggest anymore.

@Sinnbeck exactly... that's a first for me also, to have a error only on the server. The only difference is that on local I use Mac and the server is centos :)... but not have an impact, so I have no other leads to persue at this moment.

@vasi_r Maybe you could try either putting it temporarily on another server (if possible) or set up linux locally in docker to test ?

@Sinnbeck the new server, is not possible at the moment, I will try the docker also... but to be honest I doubt that is the issue.

@vasi_r It is mostly to try and either recreate it locally, or have a production server that works.

@Sinnbeck I just got a simple EC2 server from AWS... and it seems that is working. So the problem must be something with the server. But I have not a clue what and where to start :)

@vasi_r i had same or similar issue. same error message, at least. i had upgraded my digital ocean server to everything that was recommended - core packages, php, laravel, whatever else i have no idea. that caused all sorts of problems.

this fix was in my nginx sites-enabled directory for this particular laravel app/server -- i upgraded from php8.0 to php8.2, and these fpm connectors needed to be installed/upgraded, too, and then configured into these config files:

location ~ \.php$ {
        #fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php/php8.0-fpm.sock; # this is the normal location, change accordingly
        fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php/php8.2-fpm.sock; # this is the normal location, change accordingly
