I think it's because Laravel 5.1 requires PHP >= 5.5.9. This newer version of php supports ::class stuff, and laravel 5.1 uses this for example in the config/app.php to register service providers and facades if i'm not mistaken.
You need to use Laravel 5, i was in the same situation.
I'm trying to install LV5, that's exactly my problem. I just don't know how to get around the fact that I basically can't use SSH...
And I'm not nearly comfortable enough with updating the version of PHP that CentOS is using. This has been such a roadblock for me, and such a time waster. I just want to use LV!
This saved my life:
yum install http://rpms.famillecollet.com/enterprise/remi-release-6.rpm
yum update --enablerepo remi --enablerepo remi-php55
