• if your Apache setup points to a different folder from public (let's say htdocs), change the value in bootstrap.php:

// define('ASSETS_PATH', ROOT_PATH. 'public/assets/');
define('ASSETS_PATH', ROOT_PATH. 'htdocs/assets/');

• check logs in /temp/logs/*.log

All pages & emails views are stored in unflare\application\views and use the Laravel Blade templating system.
