The full error: PHP Fatal error: Uncaught RuntimeException: A facade root has not been set. in /home/project/project/vendor/laravel/framework/src/Illuminate/Support/Facades/Facade.php:334

The project is working fine on localhost. I have already tried deleting the vendor directory and running composer update then composer artisan config:cache followed by composer artisan config:clear. These haven't changed anything. I mention this because it is a solution for a similar error after someone updated to Laravel 8.

The project is running on cPanel is that is relevant and there was also an error prior to this stating Composer requires PHP 8.1.0 which has occured a few times before and been fixed with composer install --ignore-platform-reqs.

Before the update everything was working fine on this server as well so I can't even rationalize what I may have messed up. Please find the complete error log generated at the root of the public folder on page load below:

This is my current app.php file at the moment, it used to be populated A LOT more than this so I don't know where Laravel 9 has moved the associated packages because its working fine on localhost.

  • have you tried [this](https://stackoverflow.com/a/69801263/7574023) ?? – boolfalse Jul 14 '22 at 16:44
  • delete the folder `vendor` and run `compser update` – JEJ Jul 14 '22 at 17:01
  • @boolfalse Yes I have, first question I came across actually – DerickMasai Jul 14 '22 at 17:39
  • @JEJ I have already done that, no dice. – DerickMasai Jul 14 '22 at 17:39
  • What version of PHP are you using? – geertjanknapen Jul 14 '22 at 18:10
  • @geertjanknapen The server's latest version of PHP is showing 8.1 – DerickMasai Jul 14 '22 at 18:18
  • Have you written custom facades? – geertjanknapen Jul 14 '22 at 18:24
  • Also, make sure the facades are registered in `config/app.php` and could you include a log from `laravel.log` from where the error is triggered and then the whole stack trace after? – geertjanknapen Jul 14 '22 at 18:26
  • @geertjanknapen Great idea, let me check and post the log immediately. – DerickMasai Jul 14 '22 at 18:47
  • @geertjanknapen I haven't written any custom facades and as for checking whether facades are registered in `config/app.php`, could you kindly elaborate on how to check for this? Although I would imagine if they weren't registered the project would also not be working on localhost either, right? And its working just fine on localhost. – DerickMasai Jul 14 '22 at 18:55
  • They should in `config/app.php` all the way at the bottom. Should look like `'aliases' => Facade::defaultAliases()->merge([ // 'ExampleClass' => App\Example\ExampleClass::class, ])->toArray(),` – geertjanknapen Jul 14 '22 at 19:01
  • Where the commented out part is custom and you should not have – geertjanknapen Jul 14 '22 at 19:02
  • Looking at logs, are you doing something with the `Log` class – geertjanknapen Jul 14 '22 at 19:04
  • @geertjanknapen, Huh, that is weird. Actually, now that you mention it my app.php used to be like that but it's almost blank now, I attributed it to the migration to 9. Let me post it so you can advise. Luckily I have a BitBucket repo so I'll try rolling back the changes on `app.php` and report back.... As for the `Log` class I have no idea why its even showing that cause I haven't touched it. – DerickMasai Jul 14 '22 at 19:13

    I just had this issue, been fighting it for about 2 days now. Works on my local, breaks on server environment. Server Admin installed PHP 8.1.9 cli, but not the httpd module. My issue was Laravel upgrade from 5.2 - 9 with a full backend upgrade. Don't know if it helps ... But if it does, glad to share... – Jonathan Pitcher Aug 09 '22 at 23:36
