Laravel Medialibrary site is crashing with "This site can’t be reached"

Question

I am building a site where a user can upload pdf files, I use spatie/Medialibrary for this task and an hour ago everythngi was working great. However, I needed to install imagick for thumbnail generation of pdf files. After successfully installing it, file upload stopped working now I get This site can't be reached whenever I try to upload a file. Here's the line of code which my site breaks on (this is inside the FileController.uplaod function)

$filePdf->addMedia(storage_path('tmp/uploads/' . $file))->toMediaCollection('pdfFiles', 'local');

Website error

Model is setup correctly, storage is linked, as I said, it was working splendid before installation of imagick so everything is configured correctly. Here's the form setup from which uploaded file submit is called

<form id='SubmitForm' action='/uploadFile' method='post' enctype='multipart/form-data' autocomplete="off">

Here's the route setup

Route::post('/uploadFile', 'FileController@upload');

I need some help finding a solution for this because I have no idea where to even start. How can I even debug this sort of problem? Php version 7.1.26 Laravel version 5.5 medialibrary version 6.0 I have tried googling out this issue but with no success.

You web server process will log this sort of error, you just need to find where the log file is stored. — Alex Howansky, Dec 20 '19 at 17:03
@AlexHowansky I have tried looking into xampp apache logs also php error log but found nothing there — Matrix, Dec 20 '19 at 17:07
I have found that this is a problem with ghostscript...though it is installed on my machine. — Matrix, Dec 22 '19 at 17:47
