Laravel 5.5 Http Error 500 Unable to Handle This Request

laravel 5.5 HTTP ERROR 500 unable to handle this request

For Laravel 5.5 you need following server requirement

The Laravel framework has a few system requirements. Of course, all of these requirements are satisfied by the Laravel Homestead virtual machine, so it's highly recommended that you use Homestead as your local Laravel development environment.

However, if you are not using Homestead, you will need to make sure your server meets the following requirements:

PHP >= 7.0.0
OpenSSL PHP Extension
PDO PHP Extension
Mbstring PHP Extension
Tokenizer PHP Extension
XML PHP Extension

Laravel 5.5 Error 500 in Cpanel Shared Hosting

First time, you can check your php info

<?php
phpinfo();
?>

and you can search "mbstring" in there...

if mbstring still not installed, you can ask the provider to installed that.

if already installed and still got the error 500, better you must check your php version in phpinfo(). And clear your cache with php artisan command. when you have a permission to shell, you can try to check your php version with command "php -v" and see the default php with which php.

Laravel project deployment gives the HTTP ERROR 500

The right way is to get to the root of your folder ... ie /home/ and create a folder for your project. Then move the all the contents of your project into this folder except the public folder. Now go to the public_html folder and add all the contents of the public folder there.

Update your index.php as below:

<?php

/**
 * Laravel - A PHP Framework For Web Artisans
 *
 * @package  Laravel
 * @author   Taylor Otwell <taylor@laravel.com>
 */

/*

| Register The Auto Loader

|
| Composer provides a convenient, automatically generated class loader for
| our application. We just need to utilize it! We'll simply require it
| into the script here so that we don't have to worry about manual
| loading any of our classes later on. It feels great to relax.
|
*/

require __DIR__.'/../(name of your root folder)/bootstrap/autoload.php';

/*

|
| We need to illuminate PHP development, so let us turn on the lights.
| This bootstraps the framework and gets it ready for use, then it
| will load up this application so that we can run it and send
| the responses back to the browser and delight our users.
|
*/

$app = require_once __DIR__.'/../(name of your root folder)/bootstrap/app.php';

/*

| Run The Application
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
| Once we have the application, we can handle the incoming request
| through the kernel, and send the associated response back to
| the client's browser allowing them to enjoy the creative
| and wonderful application we have prepared for them.
|
*/

$kernel = $app->make(Illuminate\Contracts\Http\Kernel::class);

$response = $kernel->handle(
    $request = Illuminate\Http\Request::capture()
);

$response->send();

$kernel->terminate($request, $response);

Configure the .env file and have the right database configuration.
