How to Install Laravel 5.3 on Nginx Ubuntu 14.04?

Posted on August 26, 2016

Hi,

Does everybody know how to install newest laravel 5.3 in Nginx Ubuntu 14.04? Unfortunately in this newest version of Laravel they need 5.6 PHP while what I have is 5.5 so I cannot install the vendor folder.

But when I manually upload the vendor folder, then come this error

2016/08/26 11:04:15 [error] 4501#0: *14 FastCGI sent in stderr: "PHP message: PHP Parse error:  syntax error, unexpected '.', expecting '&' or variable (T_VARIABLE) in /usr/share/nginx/html/vendor/laravel/framework/src/Illuminate/Foundation/helpers.php on line 475" while reading response header from upstream, client: 111.94.234.118, server: sekolah.yukopangestu.com, request: "GET / HTTP/1.1", upstream: "fastcgi://unix:/var/run/php5-fpm.sock:", host: "139.59.245.181"

How can I solve this problem? Thank you so much
