I am developing a web application in Laravel 5. I created the project in a local machine at my workplace and it runs just fine. But when i run the machine in another windows machine, it gives me an error The localhost page isn’t working with HTTP ERROR 500 as a server internal error.
I have also tried to look at the laravel.log file and found an exception Call to undefined function site_url() but don't know how to fix this.
Any idea on how to work around this is much appreciated.
This error is coming because you forgot to start laravel service.
If you wish to run your project on http://localhost:8000 Try with the following command :
php arisan serve If you wish to choose specific port then try with the following command :
php artisan serve --port={port number} Happy Coding :)
If you run local server by php artisan serve it will give url localhost:8000 by default and will run only in your machine to run in another machine of LAN you need to first find Local IP by ipconfig suppose you get this (192.168.2.10) then use this command.
`php artisan serve --host 192.168.2.10` this will give url 192.168.2.10:8000 and can be access from any LAN connected machine.
php artisan key:generate and clear view and cache. php artisan config:clearIn case none of this was working for you, there may be a more sinister explanation.
In our case, someone who shall go unnamed accidentally deleted the public/index.php file, and committed that to git! So taboo I didn't even think to look. This will stop ANYTHING in your site from running, including logging, but the server will go ahead, so there is nothing to go on, just a 500 error with no response or preview.
Again, seems ridiculous, but it was SO ridiculous who would even look for it?
please change your php version. you need to install php 7.2 version for laravel 5.6 version.
$this->load->helper('url');
