laravel 4 on shared hosting

You'll need to check your error log to see what's keeping the application from running.

Check error_log or php5-fpm.log if you have it (shared hosting is a bitch)

Make sure app/storage (or storage if you're on Laravel 5) is writeable.

And you could try to set debug to true.

But yeah, shared hosting can be an utter bitch. My preferred hosting provider still uses PHP4 on the CLI by default. Great for using composer...

Laravel should work fine on shared web hosting. You shouldn't need to change anything in the public folder either. If you're on a cPanel server for example all you would need to do is

ln -s /home/username/myproject/public /home/username/public_html

Replace username with your username and myproject with wherever you placed the project. I'm not sure what tutorial you used but it is pretty easy to get Laravel up and going on shared web hosting. Five total commands from SSH and that would include installing composer.

Not all shared hosting gives ssh access. How did you install your application? (uploading a tar.gz using cPanel file explorer and extracting it? FTP? ssh access with git? Maybe linking that tutorial may help us find the error)

I can only think of two possibilities: 1- permission error on storage folder, which is a little rare on shared hosting but can happen if you generate a tar, since tar copy permissions, it may send the files with 700 permissions, check storage folder permission. 2- you didn't upload your vendor folder nor did you run composer install

I gave in and bought a VPS server , but now after I installed LARAVEL get a blank page . Installation was written that requires LARAVEL PHP version 5.4 and higher , but when I print PHP INFO I get a blank page in index.php too . Does anyone have an idea how to solve this problem?

Have you installed PHP >= 5.4? What have you done so far or what comes installed on your VPS?

After a sleepless night I was able to successfully install laravel. It was quite challenging for me but I guess they all go through it to be better programmers
