PHP Phalcon getConfig() error: #0 /var/www/html/gadgetsplash/ui/public/index.php(46): Phalcon\Di->__call() #1 {main}

Question

I have build a phalcon MVC project, it runs fine on my local machine which is Ubuntu 18.04, while deploying on the server, CentOS 7, it throws this error. It's Phalcon v4. #0 /var/www/html/gadgetsplash/ui/public/index.php(46): Phalcon\Di->__call() #1 {main}

Below is index.php

<?php

use Phalcon\Di\FactoryDefault;

ini_set("date.timezone", "Africa/Nairobi");
ini_set('default_socket_timeout', 160);
ini_set('max_execution_time', 120);

define('BASE_PATH', dirname(__DIR__));
define('APP_PATH', BASE_PATH . '/app');

ini_set('display_errors', 1);
ini_set('display_startup_errors', 1);
error_reporting(E_ALL);

try {

    $di = new FactoryDefault();

    $config = $di->getConfig();

} catch (Exception $exception){
    error_log("error config: ".$exception->getTraceAsString());
    echo $exception->getTraceAsString();
    return;
}

try {

    include APP_PATH . '/config/router.php';

    include APP_PATH . '/config/services.php';

    include APP_PATH . '/config/loader.php';

    include "../vendor/autoload.php";

    $application = new \Phalcon\Mvc\Application($di);

    echo $application->handle($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'])->getContent();
} catch (\Exception $e) {
    echo $e->getMessage() . '<br>';
    echo '<pre>' . $e->getTraceAsString() . '</pre>';
}

The error is thrown on try...catch here: $config = $di->getConfig(); This is the last part of my config file:

$configs['application'] = [
    'controllersDir' => APP_PATH . '/controllers/',
    'modelsDir' => APP_PATH . '/models/',
    'viewsDir' => APP_PATH . '/views',
    'cacheDir' => APP_PATH . '/cache/',
    'baseUri' => $baseUrl,
    'appDir' => APP_PATH . '/',
    'vendorDir' => APP_PATH . '/vendor/',
    'utilsDir' => APP_PATH . '/Utils/',
];

return new \Phalcon\Config($configs);

The config service has not been defined in your app. Try this after defining the container:

$di->set(
     'config',
     function () {
        return require_once('config.php');
     }
 );
