Laravel view not found exception

Closed 2 years ago.
I already deployed my Laravel app into my VPS. It works fine on localhost. I think the error is in my routes or maybe the controller because the path is still going into my local machine directory (see error message line 2) but I really can't see the problem in the code.
I have tried using php artisan config:cache, php artisan cache:clear, php artisan route:cache but it still doesn't work. It still refers to my local machine directory.
This is the directory of index.blade.php
Root
|-- portofolio
|-- app
|-- bootstrap
|-- config
|-- database
|-- resources
|-- assets
|-- lang
|-- views
|-- index.blade.php
|-- routes
|-- storage
|-- tests
|-- vendor
|-- public_html
|-- css
|-- img
|-- js
|-- vendor
This is the Route
Route::get('/', ['as' => 'home', 'uses' => 'Portofolio#link']);
This is the Controller
<?php
namespace App\Http\Controllers;
use Illuminate\Http\Request;
class Portofolio extends Controller
{
public function link() {
$categories = [
'1' => 'Print Design',
'2' => 'Logo Design',
'3' => 'Web Design',
'4' => 'Product Design',
'5' => 'Character Design',
'6' => 'Packaging Design'
];
$projects = [
'1' => 'IMSAA Training Certificate',
'2' => 'Rusticity Logo',
'3' => 'Handy Production Website',
'4' => 'Nihon no Matsuri Bag Project',
'5' => 'The Chin - Captain Jack Sparrow',
'6' => 'Rusticity Packaging'
];
$images = [
'1' => '1',
'2' => '2',
'3' => '3',
'4' => '4',
'5' => '5',
'6' => '6'
];
$skills = [
'1' => 'Photoshop',
'2' => 'Ms. Office',
'3' => 'Laravel',
'4' => 'PHP',
'5' => 'HTML',
'6' => 'MySQL'
];
$points = [
'1' => '80%',
'2' => '90%',
'3' => '60%',
'4' => '60%',
'5' => '60%',
'6' => '60%'
];
return view('index')->withCategories($categories)->withProjects($projects)->withImages($images)->withSkills($skills)->withPoints($points);
}
}
This is the error message (see line 2)

Answer 1

I have solved the problem.
The problem is that my server is not being set up properly because the domain doesn't connect properly to my VPS. Contacted the hosting provider and the problem was solved.
If anyone have this problem just check
Have you already done php artisan config:cache or php artisan config:clear?
Did you name your view correctly as yourview.blade.php?
Did you place the view correctly in resources\views?

Answer 2

Make sure you have the index.blade.php in the views dir, here the index.blade.php is not the index.php in the / dir.
