laravel error when deployed on shared host

Question

I am trying to deploy my app on a shared host. I followed the instructions on this page:

http://driesvints.com/blog/laravel-4-on-a-shared-host

I believe it is set up ok, however, I get the following error:

ErrorException include(app/views/layouts/question.blade.php) [href='function.include'>function.include]: failed to open stream: No such file or >directory (View: /home/d*/**/app/views/questionairres/create.blade.php)

I did check and the file exists in this exact location. Does anybody have any idea why this error may be coming up? Any ideas on how to fix?

Thanks!

Usually this happens when the file exists, but it's not readable by the webserver, because it might not have the proper permissions to read the script file:

-rw-rw----  1 root root         182 Jan 16 18:24 question.blade.php

So you need to make it be

-rw-rw-r--  1 root root         182 Jan 16 18:24 question.blade.php

using

chmod +r question.blade.php

or

-rw-rw-r--  1 root www-data     182 Jan 16 18:24 question.blade.php

by

chown root:www-data question.blade.php

And the user www-data in some distros might have another name: httpd, apache...

Thanks for the reply. I'm not sure that I understand. What will I be editing exactly? – DMiller Jan 21 '14 at 20:16
File permissions. If you're not on a Unix, Linux or Mac OS server, you have to check the permissions for your kind of server. Just edited to clarify. – Antonio Carlos Ribeiro Jan 21 '14 at 20:18
Ok. I'm actually on a shared server. Would I have to speak to support in order to access this? – DMiller Jan 21 '14 at 20:21
How did you uploaded your files? – Antonio Carlos Ribeiro Jan 21 '14 at 20:24
You can change the permissions using Filezilla itself: http://www.dummies.com/how-to/content/how-to-change-file-permissions-using-filezilla-on-.html – Antonio Carlos Ribeiro Jan 21 '14 at 20:44
It has it set to the following for question.blade.php: Owner: read, write; group: read; public: read Shouldn't that be ok? – DMiller Jan 21 '14 at 20:55
Yeah, but check if folders have the executable bit set, because listing folders is the executable bit. – Antonio Carlos Ribeiro Jan 21 '14 at 21:12
Yeah, they are all set to executable. – DMiller Jan 21 '14 at 21:21
Well, now you have some information to talk to your support. :) – Antonio Carlos Ribeiro Jan 21 '14 at 21:31
