PHP Parse error:  syntax error, unexpected 'class' (T_CLASS), expecting identifier (T_STRING) or variable (T_VARIABLE) or '{' or '$' in /home/skycashs/public_html/public/index.php on line 50

your server should be configured to serve from the 'public' folder so everything above that is not accessible and you can also set actual environmental variables on production if you wanted — lagbox, Mar 06 '17 at 15:50

You need to point web server (Apache or nginx) to the public directory which is inside Laravel project root

You're using wrong web server configuration. Point your web server to a public directory and restart it.

An example for Apache web server:

DocumentRoot "/project_root/public"
<Directory "/project_root/public">

And for nginx:

root /project_root/public;

Don't forget to restart web server to make changes work.

@dagogodboss usually you create a VH, [look here](http://laravel-recipes.com/recipes/25/creating-an-apache-virtualhost) – Alexey Mezenin Mar 06 '17 at 16:07
Mezenim How do access this VH – dagogodboss Mar 06 '17 at 16:17
Depending on what you are using (apache or nginx) you need to configure your virtual host to point to the public folder. – teeyo Mar 09 '17 at 10:24
