Hi community, I just found bedrock and the features looks amazing, I installed on my local device via WAMP and it worked perfectly, however, setting it on my root domain or subdomain throws 500 error. I am new on both composer and artisan and don’t really know how to work around this. I will be glad is somebody can assist. Thanks

root should point to the /web directory in you bedrock project.

> The document root for your site must be pointed to Bedrock's web folder. See example server configurations for running Bedrock on Nginx or Apache.
