title: Error in exception handler. - Laravel
body: <p>It's a Laravel-install related question. I have a public-facing Unix server setup:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;VirtualHost *:80&gt;
  ServerAdmin webmaster@mydomain.org
  DocumentRoot "/var/www/mydomain"
  ServerName mydomain.org
  ServerAlias www.mydomain.org
  ErrorLog "/var/log/mydomain.org-error_log"
  CustomLog "/var/log/mydomain.org-access_log" common
  &lt;/VirtualHost&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I can serve documents fine out of /var/www/mydomain i.e. <a href="http://mydomain.org/test.php" rel="noreferrer">http://mydomain.org/test.php</a> with test.php containing:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;?php echo 'test';
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>works fine.</p>
  
  <p>In bash, with Laravel installed through Composer and looking at the files:</p>
  
  <pre><code># ls /var/www/mydomain/my-laravel-project
  
  .gitattributes  CONTRIBUTING.md artisan         composer.json   phpunit.xml readme.md       vendor
  .gitignore      app             bootstrap       composer.lock   public          server.php
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>So when I browse to:</p>
  
  <pre><code>http://mydomain.org/my-laravel-project/public/
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>why does my application report:</p>
  
  <pre><code>Error in exception handler. 
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>in the browser - on a blank white screen? I'm expecting to see the Laravel splash screen.</p>
  
  <p>Moreover, the log files don't reveal anything either.</p>
