Laravel blank white screen

Does this answer describe or help your situation? Upgrading to Apache 2.4 come with some changes in Apache configuration.

Laravel

Are you checking Laravel’s logs or Apache’s logs?

Since upgrading to Laravel 4.1, I’ve had white screen “errors” (WSOD) when the application could not write to the log location. I’ve always solved this by making the app/storage directory writable by Apache (either group writable to “www-data”, “apache” or world-writable – that depends on your server setup.

Web Server User

On Ubuntu/Debian servers, your PHP may be running as user “www-data”. On CentOS/RedHat/Fedora servers, you PHP may be running as user “apache”.

Make sure your files are owned by the user that is running PHP:

# Debian/Ubuntu
$ sudo chown -R www-data /path/to/laravel/files

# CentOS/RedHat/Fedora
$ sudo chown -R apache /path/to/laravel/files

Note that you might not be running as user www-data or apache. It depends on your hosting and setup!

Laravel 4

# Group Writable (Group, User Writable)
$ sudo chmod -R gu+w app/storage

# World-writable (Group, User, Other Writable)
$ sudo chmod -R guo+w app/storage

Laravel 5+ (including 6)

# Group Writable (Group, User Writable)
$ sudo chmod -R gu+w storage

# World-writable (Group, User, Other Writable)
$ sudo chmod -R guo+w storage

#####
# The bootstrap/cache directory may need writing to also
##

# Group Writable (Group, User Writable)
$ sudo chmod -R gu+w bootstrap/cache

# World-writable (Group, User, Other Writable)
$ sudo chmod -R guo+w bootstrap/cache
