Is there a tutorial for installing Laravel 5 on a Ubuntu 14.04 LAMP stack ? I found some older tutorials, but nothing recent. When I do the installation I’m able to see the directory listing. I’ve tried chmod -R 775 storage, but that still didn’t work. Any help is appreciated. New to DO and Laravel. Thanks in advance.

A sample Apache VirtualHost for a Laravel project could be as simple as:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName example.com
DocumentRoot "/var/www/html/project/public"
<Directory "/var/www/html/project/public">
AllowOverride all
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
The key is that the DocumentRoot should be your project’s public/ directory.
The only directory whose permissions you should change is the project’s storage/ directory in order to grant the web server write permissions:
sudo chmod -R 775 /var/www/html/project/app/storage
