I have a Laravel project (version 5.3) that works well on my localhost (wampserver).
Now I want to run this project on a subdomain of my website.I have ssh root access and a vps user access (not admin - with Directadmin - PHP version 5.4).
I uploaded project files to my server but when I try to see the project result , it gives me a 500 error.
I have tried to change 'storage' folder permissions , so I read this answer , but when I run "chchon" ssh command , I get errors like this :
can't apply partial context to unlabeled file ...
also , I have tested Laravel with version 4.2 and it worked well.
Does any boy have idea ?? Thanks
If you don't have SELinux enabled, you can set permissions simply with chmod or set the owner of the storage directory with chown to the web server's user. (which is probably www-data)
Try to run sudo chown -R www-data storage in the project directory
Try all this
// first delete the vendor folder inside your project root, then run
composer install
// laravel generates log file there
sudo chmod -R 777 storage/logs
// laravel cache the files here
sudo chmod -R 777 bootstrap/cache
// vendor folder, where laravel saves their dependencies
sudo chmod -R 777 storage/ vendor/
// generate a application key
php artisan key:generate
This might help :)
I know there are a lot of questions on this topic but my issues is really weird that's why I decided to post.
I have this error in /var/logs/apache/error.log
[Tue Mar 01 07:26:51.435312 2016] [:error] [pid 8837] [client 127.0.0.1:37843] PHP Fatal error: Uncaught exception 'UnexpectedValueException' with message 'The stream or file "/var/www/personale/librarie-cor/storage/logs/laravel.log" could not be opened:

The thing is I already did chmod -R 777 storage/, here is a screenshot:
How can I get rid of the error?
TLDR;
Run the following commands on your terminal
# Clear Laravel cache and the compiled classes
php artisan cache:clear
php artisan clear-compiled
# Change the storage and cache directories permission
sudo chmod -R 777 storage
sudo chmod -R 777 bootstrap/cache
# Regenerate the composer autoload file
composer dump-autoload
More thorough explanation
This usually happens because of the web server needs a write access to the storage and bootstrap/cache directories.
1. Check which user is being used by web server process
First, make sure that your webserver process is run by an account with limited privileges. Nginx and Apache usually will automatically create and use the less privileged www-data user and group. You can always use the ps command to check which user is being used by the running service:
ps aux | grep nginx
2. Set the owner of your project directory
Next, make sure that your Laravel project directory is owned by the same user and group who run the web server process. Suppose your web server is run by www-data and your project directory is located at /var/www/laravel, you can set the ownership like so:
sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/laravel
3. Give a write access to storage and cache directories
This is the IMPORTANT step, make sure you give the write permission both to storage and bootstrap/cache directories.
sudo chmod -R 775 /var/www/laravel/storage
sudo chmod -R 775 /var/www/laravel/bootstrap/cache
Still Not Working?
If the above steps are still not working, you can try to run the following commands in the shell:
# 1. Clear Laravel cache
php artisan cache:clear
# 2. Delete the compiled class
php artisan clear-compiled
# 3. Regenerate the composer autoload file
composer dump-autoload
Yet, it still not working?
For the last resource, try to set the permission to 777 which means any users will have the ability to read and write to the given directories.
sudo chmod -R 777 /var/www/laravel/storage
sudo chmod -R 777 /var/www/laravel/bootstrap/cache
Hope this help.
I had the same issue with Centos7 ... I tried EVERYTHING. Finally, I found a post on stackoverflow suggesting it could be selinux. I disabled selinux and it worked!
If you are in Centos, then disable SELinux enforcement
run below command to do this.
setenforce 0
In my case, this solution worked very well. Hope this will help.
U should try somethings like this-
php artisan cache:clear
php artisan clear-compiled
sudo chmod -R 777 storage/ -R
composer dump-autoload
U can go to this question for more details.
I finally found a solution.. Seems like the problem had to do with PSR-4 and auto importing classes
So here's the solution for anyone else having this problem:
php artisan clear-compiled
composer dump-autoload
php artisan optimize
php artisan cache:clear
use this
chcon -R -t httpd_sys_rw_content_t storage
I am new to laravel. I am following this tutorial to install it on Ubuntu. I have successfully managed to install all the PHP dependencies and Laravel is cloned successfully but when I do chmod -R 777 /var/www/laravel/app/storage, I am getting No such file or Directory.
I checked it manually and it is not there, I added the directory manually but when I run artisan comand to create controller, I am seeing this error
/var/www/html/laravel/storage/logs/laravel.log
You might need to update composer before you can fire up artisan.
Please try with following command:
composer.phar update
Hope this helps.
Which version of laravel are you using? Later versions of Laravel don't have the storage folder inside "app" but in the project root.
Try with:
chmod -R 777 /var/www/laravel/storage
However, I would recommend that you use 755 instead of 777. Using 777 is almost always bad practice.
In cases where you need more permissions, you could try changing the user owner / group owner of the folder, with the following code:
chown -R someuser:somegroup laravel/somefolder
The error is mention in below:-
ErrorException in Filesystem.php line 81:
file_put_contents(/var/www/html/Training-management-system/storage/framework/views/bcb68ba8b65b7fabca5fe88709fb00b6): failed to open stream: Permission denied
I can google itbut not get the exact solution. SO I am thankful if anyone help me to solve it out.
is a file permissions issue as lesssugar said , you need to give writte permissions to the storage folder , so go to your html/Tranining-management-system.. folder an then you can do :
chmod -R 0777 storage/
That will change to writte access Recursively .
Please read the configuration section in docs :
http://laravel.com/docs/master#configuration
You have to do the same with the cache folder.
I run php artisan view:cache and it solved the issue
This is an error with the view file cache. Please run php artisan view:cache
I had the same issue with Laravel running in a docker container. I checked and the www-data group didn't had permissions nor ownership on the directory.
The chown command allows you to change the user and/or group ownership of a given directory.
chown -R www-data:www-data storage/
Keep in mind that chmod -R 777 storage/ permissions is a massive security risk. Normally users outside www-data group should not be able to manipulate files. This is just a workaround for development environments and should be avoided on production environments.
I tried many solutions but didn't get resolved this error.
Just: I have just created views folder in 'storage/framework' and solved it.
I have this problem multitime ,first use bellow code in terminal linux:
chmod -R 0777 storage/
If it is not work use write and exec php artisan view:cache
in terminal
Or you can remove existing files in storage/framework/views directory
I managed to fix it as I was only granting permission to via this command:
Copy Code
sudo chmod -R 775 storage/framework/views
The fix was to add this:
Copy Code
sudo chmod -R ugo+rw storage storage/framework/views
I try run php artisan view:cache and it solved this issue
I am new to Laravel. I was trying to open http://localhost/test/public/ and I got
Error in exception handler.
I googled around and changed the permission of storage directory using chmod -R 777 app/storage but to no avail.
I changed debug=>true in app.php and visited the page and got Error in exception handler:
The stream or file "/var/www/html/test/app/storage/logs/laravel.log"
could not be opened: failed to open stream: Permission denied in
/var/www/html/test/bootstrap/compiled.php:8423
Then I changed the permissions of storage directory using the command chmod -R 644 app/storage and the 'Error in exception handler' error was gone and a page is loaded. But in there I am getting this:
file_put_contents(/var/www/html/laravel/app/storage/meta/services.json):
failed to open stream: Permission denied
Suggestion from vsmoraes worked for me:
Laravel >= 5.4
php artisan cache:clear
chmod -R 775 storage/
composer dump-autoload
Laravel < 5.4
php artisan cache:clear
chmod -R 775 app/storage
composer dump-autoload
For those facing this problem with Laravel 5, this is a permission issue caused by different users trying to write at the same log file within the storage/logs folder with different permissions.
What happens is your Laravel config probably is setup to log errors daily and therefore your web server (Apache/nginx) might create this file under a default user depending on your environment it can be something like _www on OSX or www-data on *NIX systems, then the issue comes when you might have run some artisan commands and got some errors, so the artisan will write this file but with a different user because PHP on terminal is executed by a different user actually your login user, you can check it out by running this command:
php -i | grep USER
If your login user created that log file your web server you will not be able to write errors in it and vice-versa because Laravel writes log files with 655 permissions by default which only allows the owner to write in it.
To fix this temporary you have to manually give permissions for the group 664 to this file so both your login user and web server user can write to that log file.
To avoid this issue permanently you may want to setup a proper permissions when a new file is create within the storage/logs directory by inheriting the permissions from the directory this answer https://unix.stackexchange.com/a/115632 can help you to tackle with that.
You should not give 777 permissions. It's a security risk.
To Ubuntu users, in Laravel 5, I sugest to change owner for directory storage recursively:
Try the follow:
sudo chown -R www-data:www-data storage
In Ubuntu based systems, www-data is apache user.
For everyone using Laravel 5, Homestead and Mac try this:
mkdir storage/framework/views
some times SELINUX caused this problem;
you can disable selinux with this command.
sudo setenforce 0
NEVER GIVE IT PERMISSION 777!
go to the directory of the laravel project on your terminal and write:
sudo chown -R your-user:www-data /path/to/your/laravel/project/
sudo find /same/path/ -type f -exec chmod 664 {} \;
sudo find /same/path/ -type d -exec chmod 775 {} \;
sudo chgrp -R www-data storage bootstrap/cache
sudo chmod -R ug+rwx storage bootstrap/cache
This way you're making your user the owner and giving privileges:
1 Execute, 2 Write, 4 Read
1+2+4 = 7 means (rwx)
2+4 = 6 means (rw)
finally, for the storage access, ug+rwx means you're giving the user and group a 7
Problem solved
php artisan cache:clear
sudo chmod -R 777 vendor storage
this enables the write permission to app , framework, logs Hope this will Help
For vagrant users, the solution is:
(in vagrant) php artisan cache:clear
(outside of vagrant) chmod -R 777 app/storage
(in vagrant) composer dump-autoload
Making sure you chmod in your local environment and not inside vagrant is important here!
Try again with chmod -R 755 /var/www/html/test/app/storage. Use with sudo for Operation not permitted in chmod. Use Check owner permission if still having the error.
As per Laravel 5.4 which is the latest as I am writing this, if you have any problem like this, you ned to change the permission.
DO NOT LISTEN TO ANYONE WHO TELLS YOU TO SET 777 FOR ANY DIRECTORY.
It has a security issue.
Change the permission of storage folder like this
sudo chmod -R 775 storage
Change bootstrap folder permission like this
sudo chmod -R 775 bootstrap/cache
Now please make sure that you're executing both commands from your application directory. You won't face problems in future regarding permission. 775 doesn't compromise any security of your machine.
Suggest the correct permission, if for Apache,
sudo chown -R apache:apache apppath/app/storage
FOR ANYONE RUNNING AN OS WITH SELINUX: The correct way of allowing httpd to write to the laravel storage folder is:
sudo semanage fcontext -a -t httpd_sys_rw_content_t '/path/to/www/storage(/.*)?'
Then to apply the changes immediately:
sudo restorecon -F -r '/path/to/www/storage'
SELinux can be a pain to deal with, but if it's present then I'd STRONGLY ADVISE you learn it rather than bypassing it entirely.
If you have Laravel 5 and looking permanent solution , applicable both php artisan command line usage and Apache server use this:
sudo chmod -R 777 vendor storage
echo "umask 000" | sudo tee -a /etc/resolv.conf
sudo service apache2 restart
See detailed explanation here.
I had the same issue and the below steps helped me fix the issue.
Find out the apache user - created a test.php file in the public folder with the code
<?php echo exec('whoami'); ?>
And run the file from the web browser. It would give the apache user. In my case, it is ec2-user as I was using the aws with cronjob installed in /etc/cron.d/. It could be different user for others.
Run the below command on the command line.
sudo chown -R ec2-user:<usergroup> /app-path/public
You need to identify and use the right "user" and "usergroup" here.
I had the same problem but in the views directory:
file_put_contents(/var/www/app/storage/framework/views/237ecf97ac8c3cea6973b0b09f1ad97256b9079c.php): failed to open stream: Permission denied
And I solved it cleaning the views cache directory with the following artisan command:
php artisan view:clear
Xampp for use:
cd /Applications/XAMPP/htdocs
chmod -R 775 test/app/storage
From Setting Up Laravel 4.x on Mac OSX 10.8+ with XAMPP
Any time I change app.php I get a permission denied writing bootstrap/cache/services.json so I did this to fix it:
chmod -R 777 bootstrap/cache/
rm storage/logs/laravel.log
solved this for me
Setting permission to 777 is definitely terrible idea!
... but
If you are getting permission error connected with "storage" folder that's what worked for me:
1) Set "storage" and its subfolders permission to 777 with
sudo chmod -R 777 storage/
2) In browser go to laravel home page laravel/public/ (laravel will create necessary initial storage files)
3) Return safe 775 permission to storage and its subfolders
sudo chmod -R 775 storage/
If using laradock, try chown -R laradock:www-data ./storage in your workspace container
In my case solution was to change permission to app/storage/framework/views and app/storage/logs directories.
After a lot of trial and error with directory permissions I ended up with an epiphany...there was no space left on the disk's partition. Just wanted to share to make sure nobody else is stupid enough to keep looking for the solution in the wrong direction.
In Linux you can use df -h to check your disk size and free space.
This issue actually caused by different users who wants to write/read file but denied cause different ownership. maybe you as 'root' installed laravel before then you login into your site as 'laravel' user where 'laravel' the default ownership, so this is the actually real issue here. So when user 'laravel' want to read/write all file in disk as default, to be denied, cause that file has ownership by 'root'.
To solving this problem you can follow like this:
sudo chown -hR your-user-name /root /nameforlder
or in my case
sudo chown -hR igmcoid /root /sublaravel
Footnote:
root as name first ownership who installed before
your-user-name as the default ownership who actually write/read in site.
namefolder as name folder that want you change the ownership.
If you use Linux or Mac, even you can also run in ssh terminal. You can use terminal for run this command,
php artisan cache:clear
sudo chmod -R 777 storage
composer dump-autoload
If you are using windows, you can run using git bash.
php artisan cache:clear
chmod -R 777 storage
composer dump-autoload
You can download git form https://git-scm.com/downloads.
If anyone else runs into a similar issue with fopen file permissions error, but is wise enough not to blindly chmod 777 here is my suggestion.
Check the command you are using for permissions that apache needs:
fopen('filepath/filename.pdf', 'r');
The 'r' means open for read only, and if you aren't editing the file, this is what you should have it set as. This means apache/www-data needs at least read permission on that file, which if the file is created through laravel it will have read permission already.
If for any reason you have to write to the file:
fopen('filepath/filename.pdf', 'r+');
Then make sure apache also has permissions to write to the file.
http://php.net/manual/en/function.fopen.php
Just start your server using artisian
php artisian serve
Then access your project from the specified URL:
I have the same issue when running vagrant on mac. solved the problem by changing the user of Apache server in https.conf file:
# check user for php
[vagrant] ubuntu ~ $ php -i | grep USER
USER => ubuntu
$_SERVER['USER'] => ubuntu
[vagrant] ubuntu ~ $
Run apache under php user instead of user daemon to resolve file access issue with php
# change default apache user from daemon to php user
sudo sed -i 's/User daemon/User ubuntu/g' /opt/lampp/etc/httpd.conf
sudo sed -i 's/Group daemon/Group ubuntu/g' /opt/lampp/etc/httpd.conf
now, php created cache file can be read and edit by apache without showing any access permission error.
I got same errors in my project...
But found out that I forgot to put enctype in my form.
<form method="#" action="#" enctype="multipart/form-data">
Hopes it helps somewhere somehow...
While working on Windows 10 with Laragon and Laravel 4, it seemed to me there was no way to change the permissions manually, since executing chmod-commands in the Laragon-in-built-terminal had no effect.
However, it was possible in this terminal to go to the storage folder and manually add the desired folders like this:
cd app/storage
mkdir cache
mkdir meta
mkdir views
mkdir sessions
The cd-command in the terminal brings you to the folder (you might need to adjust this path to suit your file structure).
The mkdir-command will create the directory with the given name.
I did not have the opportunity to test this approach in Laravel 5, but I expect that a similar approach should work.
Of course there might be a better way, but at least this was a reasonable workaround for my situation (fixing the error: file_put_contents(/var/www/html/laravel/app/storage/meta/services.json): failed to open stream).
First, delete the storage folder then again create the storage folder.
Inside storage folder create a new folder name as framework.
Inside framework folder create three folders name as cache, sessions and views.
I have solved my problem by doing this.
