Accessing the log in page to Backpack for Laravel returns an Error 500

Question

I'm running/accessing Backpack perfectly fine on my development machine (mySQL 8.1.0, Laravel 10.48.3, PHP 8.2.10), but after uploading it onto the production server (mySQL 8.0.35, Laravel 10.48.3, PHP 8.3.1), I receive an Error 500 when I move to the login page (https:/xxxx/admin/login.

The composer.json file lists backpack/crud ^6.7, backpack/permissionmanager ^7.0, backpack/pro ^2.0, backpack/generators ^4.0.

There are no errors posted in the apache2 or php-fpm logs. No error information appears in the browser's dev tools.

The public side of the site - which is fuelled from the same database - is working perfectly.

What can I do to track down the cause of this problem?

Thanks/Tom
