PHP - Laravel error : Symfony\Component\Finder\Exception\DirectoryNotFoundExceptionon my cPanel

Question

I mistakenly ran my laravel application on debug mode in my production environment, and it threw an error for me to change App_debug:true to App_debug:false, which I did, ever since then, my site has been throwing an HTTP ERROR 500

"This page isn’t working admin.robyhub.com is currently unable to handle this request. HTTP ERROR 500"

I then went on to my cpanel terminal and tried to clear the logs on the config file but it gives me the below error.

[thehcerl@premium261 admin.robyhub.com]$ php artisan config:clear

   Symfony\Component\Finder\Exception\DirectoryNotFoundException

  The "/home/thehcerl/admin.robyhub.com/resources/lang/ha" directory does not exist.

Cpanel Terminal

Ever since I changed debug to false on my .env from my laravel project main directory because the laravel documentation warned me to not use debug mode on a non-local environment. I expected my application would automatically stop receiving the laravel debug config solutions and would run properly.

The error says **directory not found** , so did you check if the mentioned path actually exists or not? — Ahmed Essam, Nov 14 '22 at 10:21
Oh no, it doesn't there's no path listed "lang/ha" on my file system. — Paul Sola-Eniolawun, Nov 14 '22 at 18:33

This is not a very generic error, it's as a result of an error on my part, I created language folders that I did not link to my PHP "translationProvider.php" file, so it invariably gave me that issue. I was using a purchased template from Envato so I hadn't taken the time to get the full inner working of the backend at the time.

If anyone has a similar error I hope this will guide you not to make the mistakes I made, and meticulously look through your code when making changed or edits.

Thanks, happy coding.
