I've created a symlink using the command:
php artisan storage:link
Then I've created a file in storage/app/public. Following the documentation, I could get the link to this file with:
asset('storage/file.txt')
Which returns in the html code:
http://127.0.0.1:8000/storage/psps.txt
But I am getting 404 error. Any help?
Go to your project's public folder, and delete the storage folder, if it exists.
Then run this command line:
php artisan storage:link
Go to the project root and copy and paste this two command
rm -rf public/storage
php artisan storage:link
I have a project on Laravel 5 and I work with it at the office and at home too. It works fine, but recently at home it stopped working. Laravel show me two ErrorException
file_put_contents(G:\project\storage\framework\views/751d8a0fd8a7d4138c09ceb6a34bb377aa2d6265.php):
failed to open stream: No such file or directory
and
file_put_contents(G:\project\storage\framework/sessions/aIXycR4LIAUBVIqZu0T590paOMIpV8vfZGIroEp0):
failed to open stream: No such file or directory
I'm searching problem decision with Google and find information about correct rights. All advice is about Linux, but I'am work in Windows at the office and at home too.
When I try to clear application cache and view cache, artisan talk to me - ...cleared. But cache data and views are present in storage.
How can I fix this problem?
The best way to solve this problem is, go to directory laravel/bootstrap/cache and delete config.php file. or you can rename it as well like config.php.old
And your problem will be fixed.
You should typically run the php artisan config:cache command as part of your production deployment routine. As a solution to your problem, I suggest you recreate the cache file, for faster configuration loading.
To do this, run the following Artisan commands on your command line
php artisan cache:clear
php artisan config:cache
You can programmatically execute the command by adding the following to your routes:
Route::get('/clear-cache', function() {
$exitCode = Artisan::call('cache:clear');
$exitCode = Artisan::call('config:cache');
return 'DONE'; //Return anything
});
And then call the clear-cache route from your browser.
After some research I understand - I have very similar, but different root project locations and its cached in /bootstrap/cache. After cache clearing project started.
Actually I faced this issue when I moved my project from server to local.
in
storage/framework
four basic folders are required cache, sessions, testing, views
In My case sessions was missing might be in gitignore.
So I manually created session folder and refreshed browser and it was working.
So any of the missing folder if we delete this problem can be solved.
I solved this problem via creating storage\framework\sessions folder.
Apache + WSL on windows
This is a silly mistake, and a different answer compared to the others, but I'll add it because it happened to me.
If you use WSL (linux bash on windows) to manage your laravel application, while using your windows apache to run your server, then running any caching commands in the wsl will store the linux path rather than the windows path to the sessions and other folders.
Solution
Simply run the cache clearing commands in the powershell, rather than in WSL.
$ php artisan optimize
Was enough for me.
This type of issue generally occurs while migrating one server to another, one folder to another. Laravel keeps the cache and configuration (file name ) when the folder is different then this problem occurs.
Solution Run Following command:
php artisan config:cache
https://laravel.com/docs/5.6/configuration#configuration-caching
Try with these commands that have been useful with those errors
path\project\storage\framework\views...
php artisan view:clear
path\project\storage\framework/sessions...
php artisan config:cache
I deleted the file /public_html/bootstrap/cache/config.php
Then I ran php artisan config:cache
In case of shared hosting when you do not have command line access simply navigate to laravel/bootstrap/cache folder and delete (or rename) config.php.
This happens when you shift your website from local to live server or vice versa.
Simply go to bootstrap/cache and delete config.php.
The reason is related to cache or permission.
Firstly, go to directory laravel/bootstrap/cache and delete all files from cache.
php artisan cache:clear
php artisan config:clear
php artisan config:cache
If the errors still happen. It may relates to permission
Let's try command below (In my case user&group of laravel is nginx)
sudo chgrp -R nginx storage bootstrap/cache
sudo chmod -R ug+rwx storage bootstrap/cache
If you are running laravel inside docker then access its filesystem
$ docker exec -it name-of-laravel-container /bin/bash
Next navigate to your laravel projects root directory. Make sure that you have inside storage/framework folder:
cache
sessions
testing
views
And they should be both readable and writable.
If nothing work try the following in the production environment
1-
composer install --optimize-autoloader --no-dev
2-
php artisan cache:clear
3-
php artisan config:clear
4-
php artisan view:clear
5-
php artisan config:cache
6-
php artisan route:cache
Works for me
Changing name of /bootstrap/cache/config.php to config.php.old doesn't work for me
neither clearing cache with the commands artisan
php artisan config:clear
php artisan cache:clear
php artisan config:cache
And for some weird reason I can't change permission for the owner on the directories, so my solution was running my IDE (Visual Studio Code) as admin, and everything works.
My project is in an F:/ path of another disk.
The reason for this problem is the cache files in localhost. According to that I've tried several things as follows to clear the cache on my project, but every time I've failed.
Tried to clear cahe commands by changing web.php file (with artisan codes)
Tried to clear cache by connecting SSH (via PUTTY)
Tried to host my project in Sub domain within create a new Public directory
So I've found a solution for this problem after each and every above steps failed and it worked for me perfectly. I deleted the cache.php file in host_route/bootstrap/cache directory.
Maybe there is an issue with your composer file. You could try:
composer install installs the vendor packages according to
composer.lock (or creates composer.lock if not present),
composer update always regenerates composer.lock and installs the
lastest versions of available packages based on composer.json
composer dump-autoload won’t download a thing. It just regenerates
the list of all classes that need to be included in the project (autoload_classmap.php). Ideal for when you have a new class inside your project. Ideally, you execute composer dump-autoload -o , for a
faster load of your webpages. The only reason it is not default, is because it takes a bit longer to generate (but is only slightly noticeable)
source
In my case it was not anything that could be fixed with php artisan commands. The issue was folder permissions for the /storage folder. The error did not make that clear.
The solution that worked for me is to just serve the app as admin
if you are
On mac or linux use sudo php artisan serve
On Windows try to open CMD as an adminstrator and then go to project directory and run php artisan serve
Clearing the contents of storage/framework/cache did the trick for me.
I had similar problems because of .gitignore for the /storage folder on first machine, then cloned repository on second machine and laravel was revision to write down sessions cache
So, manually creating folder /storage/sessions might be an solution..
This did the magic for me. chmod -Rf 0777 storage
In my case, I set APP_DEBUG=false since it is a production server, I decided to set it back to true and then it showed Missing BC Math or GMP extension
That is how I solved my own issue, setting APP_DEBUG=true might not work for everybody.
I used Laravel 8, This is my solution:
Goto:
storage/framework/cache/data
set permission directory data is 777
I went all the way, but I did not get the answer.
I just rename cache folder in storage/framework/ to cache1 and solved my problem.
I solved it clearing the content of:
/laravel/storage/framework/views
Then all the views were created again in that folder.
In my case these commands didn't fix it:
php artisan view:cache
php artisan route:cache
php artisan config:cache
I'm using Laravel 8 and in my case it seems that it was an issue with the permissions.
I am trying to access an image in the url which is stored in the /storage folder.
Image Stored Path:
Project/storage/app/public/default.png
According to Laravel 5.5 docs, your publicly accessible files should be put in directory
storage/app/public
So I did the same, but when I try to access the image as:
http://localhost:8000/storage/default.png
then it doesn't work.
I tried the following command:
php artisan storage:link
but it throws an error:
The "public/storage" directory already exists.
As for 2019, if any of you got this error:
"The "public/storage" directory already exists."
Then go to your public folder and delete the "storage" file.
Once you do it, run again the "php artisan storage:link" and it will work now
The best way to do it is to first remove the symlink by running a code that will remove storage from the public folder first like so:
$ rm public/storage
then rerun the symlink code again
$ php artisan storage:link
You will see that afterwards the public/storage folder will reappear and will be updated
Try deleting storage folder inside app/public/storage than run the command(php artisan storage:link) again and than you can access file using this path
http://localhost:8000/storage/<folder_name_if_folder_exists>/<file_name>.<extension>
You cannot access files inside storage folder directly as you tried. First you have to create a symbolic link of your storage "public" folder to your real "public" folder.
php artisan storage:link
Try again after the command.
NOTE: If you are using windows open command line (cmd, git bash...) as admin to avoid errors.
First use php artisan storage:link
Then you can access all public path using /* like:
http://localhost:8000/default.png
Above command allow you to get images directly from public path!
Hope this helps you!
Try Deleting the storage Folder in the Public Directory and then Run This Command
"php artisan storage:link" then try it.

What's working for me:
SSH into your homestead VM
cd into your project folder
php artisan storage:link (As Admin in your terminal)
Run successfully I don't see a /storage folder in my /public dir
Access images via blade using storage/ in the url eg. "storage/{{ $post->image }}"
If you run into any errors:
rm -rf public/storage
php artisan storage:link (As Admin in your terminal)
I am on a shared hosting. I am not the developer but I just changed a value in the .env file but the change is not reflecting on the main site. I even tried by opening http://siteurl.com/clear-cache(it says cache cleared) but it didn't work. How can I refresh it without root access? I can hardcode the value for now as a temporary hack but I want to make it work via the .env file.
In order to clear cache of config in Laravel 5
php artisan config:clear
php artisan config:cache
php artisan cache:clear
php artisan route:cache
php artisan optimize
with those command you will clear all cache and go on
