Call to undefined method Laravel\Section::_start()

Try clearing your view cache: php artisan view:clear.

In these situations it's always worthwhile running a command along the lines of the following too:

php artisan cache:clear && php artisan clear-compiled && php artisan config:cache && php artisan route:cache && php artisan optimize

I ran the command in ssh and received an error: "Sorry, I cant find that task."

It seems thats not possible on a Shared Hosting: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/31455829/laravel-5-clear-cache-in-shared-hosting-server

I just checked the index.php header an found that the Laravel version is 3.2.3

/**

• Laravel - A PHP Framework For Web Artisans
• @package Laravel
• @version 3.2.3
• @author Taylor Otwell [email protected]
• @link http://laravel.com */

my php version is 5.6.30

Im moveing an old app *not made by me, to a new Shared Hosting

change all ocurrrencies of yield to _yield

????????

yield is now a reserved word in php, so we cant use it on our code. Laravel still uses it..so you must manually change it or your app wont work.

Quick google search reveals Laravel 3.2.3 required PHP 5.3. From 5.3 to 5.6, there were more changes than just the addition of the yield keyword.

I'd suggest starting at http://php.net/manual/en/migration54.php and working forward to 5.6.

This may not be a trivial process.

Alternatively, migrate the project to a modern laravel verison.

I don't know which of these solutions would be easier or require less time, but I'd say neither of them will be trivial.

If time is a factor for you, find a server running the same php version that was running on the old server.

How can I check what version of laravel Im using?

Run php artisan -V.

Alternatively, check your composer.json file.

where does laravel use yield?

After a long weekend fighting with laravel, I founf where to turn on the logs and display errors. And this is what it shows:

Unhandled Exception

***** any clue, should I need to regenerate an encrytpion code? how?

SOLVED: I changed the default key on /public_html/application/config/application.php

from: 'key' => 'YourSecretKeyGoesHere!',

to: 'key' => '32 characters!',

you must replace the default key with a 16,24 or 32 characters word.

Thank you for your help.
