Host a Laravel website into freebsd ...

Hello,
I think the title says it ... how do I host a laravel website into a FreeBSD server, I have Nginx Php mysql, also composer installed in /usr/bin ...
The website was made on windows ... I tried to copy all the files into the root dir of the server which is /var/website/{APPNAME}, and I also set up database ... but the thing is I get the error The stream or file "/var/webapps/IFVM_Website/storage/logs/laravel.log" could not be opened: failed to open stream: Permission denied when I try to access it via a webbrowser ... so I tryed to set permission of [APPNAME] folder to 777 recursivly ... then the website apprears but lots of things are missing ...

so I wonder what should i do? how do I fix the permission related errors ...?? and how do I fix the missing file problem too ??
 
Don't just randomly change permissions to 777 to try and fix things.

For a start is it /var/website or /var/webapps?

You need to take a step back and make sure all your paths are correct and that everything is where it should be. Then make sure the webserver (probably running under www:www user) has permission to any folders/files it needs to write to). For this I'd usually change the group on just those folders to www and add group write permission.

They're not supposed to be there. None of this belongs in /usr/bin/. How did you install them?

Base directory on FreeBSD is typically /usr/local/www.

Never, ever, do this. This is NEVER the proper way to fix things. Never do this, not even temporarily for "testing". Did I mention you should never do this? It's worth repeating, never do this.
