Getting a 500 Internal Server Error on Laravel 5+ Ubuntu 14.04

Finally Overcame the problem

  • It was not the .htaccess file that was the problem nor the index.php. The problem was on accessing the files and requiring permissions.

For solving the problem i ran the following commands through terminal.

sudo chmod -R 755 laravel_blog

and then type below to allow laravel to write file to storage folder

chmod -R o+w laravel_blog/storage

This two commands solved the problem.
