Same code working in laravel 4 but not working in laravel 5.
Here is all codes :
//Redactor Image Upload
Route::post('image/upload', function(){
$image = Input::file('file');
$filename = 'bdtimes'.rand(10, 99999999).'.'.$image->getClientOriginalExtension();
$move = Image::make($image->getRealPath())->save('uploads/images/original/'.$filename);
if($move){
return Response::json(['filelink'=>'/uploads/images/original/'. $filename]);
}else{
return Response::json(['error'=>true]);
}
});
Redactor Script :
$(function()
{
$('#redactor').redactor({
focus: true,
imageUpload: '{{ url() }}/image/upload',
imageManagerJson: '{{ url() }}/image.php',
plugins: ['table', 'video','imagemanager','fontcolor','fontsize','fullscreen'],
maxHeight: 300,
minHeight: 300
});
});

Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 500 (Internal Server Error) http://localhost:8000/image/upload
What is problem ? Please help me .

There is a problem with the token. Change the Redactor script..
$(function()
{
$('#redactor').redactor({
focus: true,
imageUpload: '{{ url() }}/image/upload?_token=' + '{{ csrf_token() }}',
imageManagerJson: '{{ url() }}/image.php',
plugins: ['table', 'video','imagemanager','fontcolor','fontsize','fullscreen'],
maxHeight: 300,
minHeight: 300
});
});

This means that some line in your route is having an error. Looking at your code I do not see any obvious issue, it could be related to import etc what is not shown here.
Try using dd() after every line to print debugging info until you locate exact line what is broken.
You can also look at the ajax request response from Chrome Developer Tool as it must have more info about the exact error.

I had the same problem when using redactor with yii framework. I think the problem is with setting the route to the upload directory. So the developers of redactor changed some code to prevent this.
In RedactorModule.php > public function getSaveDir() change this:
$path = Yii::getAlias($this->uploadDir);
if (!file_exists($path)) {
throw new InvalidConfigException('Invalid config $uploadDir');
}
if (FileHelper::createDirectory($path . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR . $this->getOwnerPath(), 0777)) {
return $path . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR . $this->getOwnerPath();
to this:
$path = Yii::getAlias($this->uploadDir) . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR . $this->getOwnerPath();
if(!file_exists($path)){
if (!FileHelper::createDirectory($path, 0775,$recursive = true )) {
throw new InvalidConfigException('$uploadDir does not exist and default path creation failed');
}
}
return $path;
