Error 500 on version 2.1.3

Question

Giving the whole backsotry.

I upĺoaded all files from version 2.1.3 using git to a remote Ubuntu server and I got the following error

Vendor autoload is not found. Please run 'composer install' under application root directory

I googled a bit and found this http://www.technetexperts.com/web/magento-2-installation-guide/

After that, it started appearing the error pelago/emogrifier v0.1.1 requires ext-mbstring * -> the requested PHP extension mbstring is missing from your system, which lead me to this page https://stackoverflow.com/questions/32943762/composer-install-issues. I installed all extensions following these steps and the magento-check.php that I found somewhere.

After all that, I get error 500 on my home page and have no idea on how to proceed. Does anyone know what might be happening? Am I missing something?

Check permissions in your Magento Install Directory:

Use Magento in Ubuntu:

sudo find var vendor pub/static pub/media app/etc -type f -exec chmod u+w {} \;
sudo find var vendor pub/static pub/media app/etc -type d -exec chmod u+w {} \;
sudo chown -R :www-data .
sudo chmod u+x bin/magento

Use Magento in Centos:

sudo find var vendor pub/static pub/media app/etc -type f -exec chmod g+w {} \;
sudo find var vendor pub/static pub/media app/etc -type d -exec chmod g+ws {} \;
sudo chown -R :apache .
sudo chmod u+x bin/magento

I'm using this tutorial from Magento Docs.
