How to debug Laravel error 500 with no logs, no information

Question

I\'m working on an existing Laravel application in order to develop new feature but after installing the app on my computer, I have an error 500 and no clue to resolve it.

Answer 1

I had simiar issue (saw error 500, but logs were present).

In order to be able to see errors directly on the page, I did following changes:

1. enable debug mode: APP_DEBUG=true
2. reload configuration: php artisan config:cache
