Laravel installed, but connection is reset / No data received

Question

I am using Digital Ocean as my server, I have a Ubuntu droplet running laravel fine on my site. But now I am making a 'projects backend' where there is just a folder with test projects that are all laravel projects themselves. They are not linked to the main laravel install.

I installed it, all the files are there if I go to www.mysite.com/projects/projectname it shows:

But when I go to the link www.mysite,com/projects/projectname/public it shows:

in firefox

in chrome

The site is working fine on my laptop using mamp. But not on the server?

If I look in charles (the proxy manager) I get the error / failure Remote server closed the connection before sending response header

I am not familiar with this, please can someone explain how to overcome this problem?

Answer 1

Turning off XCache solved it for me.

Answer 2

Same thing still holds for Laravel 5 and when using opcache instead of xcache. When opcache is enabled I get this error. If I put

php_flag opcache.enable Off

at the top of my. htaccess file, the site loads perfectly.
