Permissions Issue with Laravel on CentOS

Question

I\'ve cloned a laravel repo to my CentOS 7 box. When I try to run it, I get a 500 error with nothing displayed.

So I check out /var/log/httpd/error_log

Answer 1

On CentOS 7 I had similar permissions issue. The solution which works for me is:

Add user centos to group apache

Add user apache to group centos

Restart httpd

The final line is vital as otherwise user apache will not be aware it is now also in group centos!

Same as user apache logging out and back in again.
