Blank Page when installing on Laravel 9

[syvbyen]

Hey, I just installed Canvas to my Laravel 9 website, and when I tried to log into Canvas I met a basically blank page.

First I tried to install the newest version. When that didnt work, I thought maybe I should try an earlier version. So I installed the https://github.com/austintoddj/canvas/releases/tag/v6.0.39 version where it added Laravel 9 support.

I also did the:

php artisan canvas:install

It might be worth to mention that I'm using Laravel Homestead, and sometimes I have some commands that work inside the VM and some that works outside. I don't know if this is related or no.

I attached some pictures to show what I mean.

Here's my composer.json:

I found the answer. In my config/app.php my fallback_locale was set to "nb" (norwegian bokmål). When I changed this to "en" it worked.

Apologies on the delay, glad you got it sorted @syvbyen

Closing this out with Canvas v7.0.0.

v7 requires PHP 8.3+ and Laravel 12 or 13. Laravel 9 is outside the support window. On a supported stack, install with composer require austintoddj/canvas and php artisan canvas:install, then canvas:make-admin.
