Deploy Laravel Project into 000webhost site

Deploying your Laravel Project to 000webhost (Tested for Laravel 5.6) Hi everyone! This tutorial will help you deploy your Laravel project into your 000webhost site in a professional manner. I am more good at writing code instead of writing articles, so lets get straight to the subject! 1. Uploading. Before we start, your website must be ‘clean’. It must not contain a single file in it, that to prevent interface with Laravel. Please back up your current website content and databa…

I did all those steps

Can you add this to your .htaccess?

php_flag display_errors on 

[nioj]

I deleted this file ! As it says in above tutorial

[ckhawand]

Create one and add the code then

[nioj]

It says :
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘?’ in /storage/ssd1/398/7320398/vendor/laravel/framework/src/Illuminate/Foundation/helpers.php on line 242

Can you paste the helpers.php file here or browse to line 242 and copy/paste it here

[nioj]

if (is_string($arguments[0])) {
return app(‘cache’)->get($arguments[0], $arguments[1] ? null);
}

242 is return line

[nioj]

Those errors are because I develope that laravel app in PHP7.1 and here I changed php version to 5.6, because was not working in php7.1 neither

Looking around Laracasts/Laravel Support they do not recommend running Laravel on shared hosting (000webhost is free shared hosting basically), they don’t recommend running it on any PHP version lower than 7 ideally.
They recommend having SSH access to run commands to correctly install and secure your Laravel setup. (000webhost doesn’t provide SSH)

I would recommend you take a look at getting https://www.hostinger.com/special/000webhost
Hostinger premium which allows jailed SSH access and if you require full root then look at the VPS hosting available.

Hi @nioj!

Could you please confirm your app is working on another server setup?

[nioj]

Is working on localhost

I don’t know what could be the cause of this issue.

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘?’ in /storage/ssd1/398/7320398/vendor/laravel/framework/src/Illuminate/Foundation/helpers.php on line 242

This indicates that the PHP version you use to run your app on is lower then 7.0, and it was in the moment I checked your site. I have switched it to 7.1 but another error which is not showing is now popping up, causing ‘Application Error 500’. I will personally try some tests with your site and get back to you with an answer as soon as possible.

I don’t know why the app is failing. I see no valid reason. Maybe it’s because it’s exceeding some limitations

What other dependency packages are you using?
