title: Laravel 5.1 install on Ubuntu white screen no errors in laravel.log and .env file exists
body: <p>I have been struggling with this for days now, to the point where I have visited every link on stack laravel.io and laracasts and still no luck</p>
  
  <p>Permissions on storage and bootstrap/cache changed to 777</p>
  
  <p>When I browse to the welcome page on my app the result in inspector is 'get 200' for the pretty url</p>
  
  <p>Artisan is functioning, key has been generated added to .env and app.php</p>
  
  <p>No errors in apache log</p>
  
  <p>I have upgraded php in Ubuntu 14.04 to version 5.6.14 mcrypt is installed</p>
  
  <p>Would be really grateful if someone could shed some light on this</p>
