"Whoops, looks like something went wrong."

I don't think that's where the problem is. I think you didn't set Laravel up correctly. You'll need to do some debugging. 1.if it's development environment I suggest you edit .env (root of application) and set APP_DEBUG=true for more expressive errors. If it's prod environment I suggest you to trace the error in storage/logs/laravel.log. — DevK

@PullataPraveen I don't know how you have your Laravel app set up. But it's in the root directory of the app. As in here. When setting up a new project you usually have to copy the .env.example to .env and set up the configuration you need. — DevK

@PullataPraveen well this indicates that the code you posted has nothing to do with the error you're getting :p. You're missing $theLocation in your welcome.blade.php view and not in your hello.blade.php view (which is the one you posted). — DevK

There are many ways to pass data from Controller to View like:

return view('hello')->with(['key' => 'value']);

or

return view('hello', ['key' => 'value']);

And you can use it on view like:

<p>{{ $key }}</p>
