Server error 500 when accessing Laravel 5.8

Question

After installing laravel in blog directory, when I try to check it runs normally or not by accessing localhost/blog/public it shows 500 Server error like this screenshot :

I've tried to grant apache with mod_rewrite and it didn't help.

I installed laravel with XAMPP in Windows.

======

UPDATE : Here is the log file in the storage/logs/ and .env file link

What command did you use to install Laravel in the blog directory? — mdexp, Apr 16 '19 at 10:37
@RouhollahMazarei I'm using PHP 7.3.3 and Apache 2.4.38 which is in the newest version of xampp. — Zulfikar Sandy Pratama, Apr 16 '19 at 10:43
@mdexp I downloaded laravel manually from laravel/laravel GitHub, and then ran cmd command **composer install** in **blog** directory — Zulfikar Sandy Pratama, Apr 16 '19 at 10:45
Then make sure you have the .env file in the root of your project. If so try running: `php artisan key:generate` — mdexp, Apr 16 '19 at 10:46
Check if you can find anything under storage/logs inside the Laravel app. Probably a case of key not being generated yet. Do you have a .env file in the laravel directory? — Shuvojit, Apr 16 '19 at 10:47
@mdexp Yes I have the **.env** file and run the command you give, but it still gives the same error — Zulfikar Sandy Pratama, Apr 16 '19 at 11:22
Please post the Apache error logs or Laravel logs (found in `storage/logs/laravel-*.log` — mdexp, Apr 16 '19 at 14:01
try to debug using xdebug in your preferred ide, my error was one of the variable has not set in the response and i was aborting. using abort(500); — vikas etagi, Sep 18 '19 at 05:34

Yes I have the .env file. I've uploaded on the link above. I'm using windows and I've granted the `/storage` directory a full control, but it still shows Server error 500 – Zulfikar Sandy Pratama Apr 18 '19 at 08:00

@Zulfikar can you share us your log file laravel under storage/logs – Şafak Çıplak Apr 18 '19 at 09:43
I just encountered this Error 500 and this is what solved it for me. I didn't even had to use the `chmod` line. – johnjullies Aug 02 '19 at 00:27

you must execute these commands

php artisan key:generate
php artisan config:cache

if it doesn't work your .env file replace with APP_KEY=base64:jxfiwITVfhauwt6clRR2plSXNg+KHlDbgIUQYIXvkVI=

I face the same issue with Laravel 5.8 but it was online. The way to resolve was to create a .env file which was missing after I transferred it from localhost. Also transfer all it's content into the new .env file.

In my case .env file was added in .gitignore so that's why when I cloned my Git repository on server I didn't get it there so that was the root cause why I was getting 500 error on server without any clue or error log. So the issue was fixed by uploading .env file on server -OR- removing .env entry in .gitignore file the committing it in Git repository before taking Git pull on server.

Refactor the file name .env.example to .env which could found in the root directory . Then check in that file APP_debug =true . If that's okk then open cmd and php artisan key:generate

Then again start the server .

You must try this:

php artisan key:generate **strong text**

and give the 777 permission for this project.**strong text** then run php artisan serve command.

If u give full access to Your Root Folder.Check Once. Then Give Full Access to All sub-folders In your application.

Open this Link - https://github.com/laravel/laravel

Copy the Below Files -

.editorconfig
.env.example
.gitattributes
.gitattributes
.gitattributes

And Paste it in You Application Root Folder. Now Run The file. Its working fine For me. If u have any pblm in php version or config laravel can't install the above files. SO u need to download it and Paste it in your Root folder.

If your pblm is Still not solved. Dont get tired. Just download the laravel files from git, it surely works.
