Apache DocumentRoot
Seems like you are not shown the laravel page. Try to put something like the following in the public/index.php file of your laravel installation (at the beginning of the file):
<?php
die('Laravel index file');
If you browse to your site and don't see the text Laravel index file, your document root is pointing somewhere else. As you are using Apache see for example the configuration of virtual hosts in Ubuntu.
Note, that the document root should point to the public directory of your laravel installation, not the root directory of your laravel installation (so eg /home/user/public_html/my_laravel_app/public instead of /home/user/public_html/my_laravel_app)
Laravel routes
EDIT:
As you said, you saw the text, the next step for me would be to check the routes. Have a look at your app/Http/routes.php. What file is included for your request?
<?php
Route::get('/', function () {
return view('welcome');
});
The above route would include resources/views/welcome.blade.php (or resources/views/welcome.php) for your request to http://localhost (or whatever your host looks like). Try to insert debugging information at the beginning of the welcome.blade.php, eg
welcome.blade.php
<h1>Welcome.blade.php</h1>
Check if you can see the above text on your web request.
Other ideas
Maybe it would be useful to also have the following information:
- Your apache config file
- Path to your laravel app
- Path to your info.php
