apache virtual host with laravel 5 "Internal error 500"

Question

I want to learn laravel, and recently installed a fresh copy laravel on an amazon ec2 instance through composer composer create-project laravel/laravel laravel-app with apache2, and php installed. I configure the conf.d file to change the document root to laravel-folder/public, when i try to go to the public ip address it show a server 500 error.

<VirtualHost *:80>
    # The ServerName directive sets the request scheme, hostname and port that
    # the server uses to identify itself. This is used when creating
    # redirection URLs. In the context of virtual hosts, the ServerName
    # specifies what hostname must appear in the request's Host: header to
    # match this virtual host. For the default virtual host (this file) this
    # value is not decisive as it is used as a last resort host regardless.
    # However, you must set it for any further virtual host explicitly.

    #elastic IP address
    ServerName 42.66.33.52 
    ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost
    DocumentRoot laravel-app/public

    <Directory laravel-app/public>
    DirectoryIndex index.php
    Options -Indexes +FollowSymLinks +MultiViews
    AllowOverride All
    Order allow,deny
    Allow from all
    Require all granted

    </Directory>

    # Available loglevels: trace8, ..., trace1, debug, info, notice, warn,
    # error, crit, alert, emerg.
    # It is also possible to configure the loglevel for particular
    # modules, e.g.
    #LogLevel info ssl:warn

    ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log
    LogLevel warn
    CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined

    # For most configuration files from conf-available/, which are
    # enabled or disabled at a global level, it is possible to
    # include a line for only one particular virtual host. For example the
    # following line enables the CGI configuration for this host only
    # after it has been globally disabled with "a2disconf".
    #Include conf-available/serve-cgi-bin.conf

I've tried chmod 777 to the entire laravel folder and changed the url in app.php to 42.66.33.52, and it still showing the same error. I'm new to laravel, and I hope someone can point me to the right direction. I've host other PHP website from this server without using laravel framework and it is function normally.

Did you try to use full path in DocumentRoot? Did you do chmod 777 with -R (recursive)? Check permissions of /storage folder (it and all files in it should have 775 or 777). Also, what apache error log says? — Alexey Mezenin

@DatTran I would rather 775 instead of 777, if you want to use this site on your production server (i.e. public/internet) — omrakhur

You should chmod -R 775 on /storage folder and all files in it.

as @Alexey Mezenin said, you should change the chmod of storage and all files inside by -R, and also don't forget to do the same with the bootstrap/cache folder. Check that on "Directory Permissions" in the official laravel documentation installation : https://laravel.com/docs/5.3/installation

hope that help ;) Regards.
