I have worked around the issue by chmod -R 777 storage/ on my host machine (Mac OS X). On my guest machine (Ubuntu 14.04) chmod -R 777 storage/ did not change permissions actually.

Answer 6

I had a situation where I had the exact same symptom, some routes were not providing any feedback, just a white page, no error in the log no information at all.

Turns out, I was adding a new middleware, and I forgot to return $next($request) from my handle method. This was even more frustrating, because this middleware did not apply to every route, so I assumed that there was an intermittent error that was being thrown but not displayed on these routes.
