`php artisan view:clear` `php artisan config:cache` `php artisan config:clear` `composer dump-autoload` `composer update` run these commands – Vipertecpro Mar 05 '19 at 16:43
Yes i did everything – crispy Mar 05 '19 at 16:57
So when you run this `php artisan serve` you're still getting same error as you've mentioned in your question is that right ? – Vipertecpro Mar 05 '19 at 17:01
Please check logs created in storage folder see what does it says and turn on debug in .env file `APP_DEBUG=true` to see what exactly this problem is . – Vipertecpro Mar 05 '19 at 17:40
