If laravel installed correctly the problem may be that the app/storage folder may not have appropriate write permission. $cd /to/your/app-root/directory then run this cmd

sudo chmod -R o+w app/storage

Try if that helps

Thanks for your reply. Tried that without any luck.

Had some small progress by changing the root directory in apache to /var/www/lara/public. Now it's a new error:
