I am new to Laravel. I have installed laravel on localhost using: composer create-project laravel/laravel news. Then, server.php to index.php, and copied .htaccess from public to root. However, the installation is displaying laravel default welcome view, successfully.

The pain starts, when I have uploaded it to the server. At first, it's displaying following message: Composer detected issues in your platform: Your Composer dependencies require a PHP version ">= 8.0.2".

I have added the following lines to the composer.json (in config): "platform-check": false and then omposer dump-autoload. By doing this, above message gone, and the page is displaying 500 Internal Server Error.

I have tried every possible solution, still nothing working till now.

Laravel Version: 8.74.0 Server Php Version: 7.4.26

Please help me to solve this issue. If you need any other information, I will provide.

Try installing a lower version of laravel. For example:

composer create-project laravel/laravel=8.0.* news

I think it is better to add a php8 version on your local than downgrading your laravel version to 7.

Your Composer dependencies require a PHP version ">= 8.0.2" - tells that your laravel require you to have have php version 8.0.2 or higher.
