Server error upgrading from 1.2.1 to 1.2.8

[suiciety]

I've tried an upgrade to the latest version (copied over original) and get a 500 error on the login page (below)

There were no errors doing the composer updates or artisian migrates and I removed files in storage/cache, views and sessions. Also removed cookies in my browser.

This is on Ubuntu 14.04, Apache2 which has been progressively upgraded since .3 release.

Try:

php artisan clear-compiled

before running composer install or composer update,

and/or remove bootstrap/compiled.php.
