Laravel 9 accessing AWS S3 - UnableToWriteFile at location - laravel

Question

I have built a CRUD application with Laravel, but as I want it to be hosted on heroku, using the Laravel storage is not a solution, which is why I am trying to use AWS S3.
I followed a few tutorials, and it seemed pretty straight forward to do, however I get this error :
League \ Flysystem \ UnableToWriteFile
Unable to write file at location: nameOfMyPicture.jpg.
What I have done so far :
I have run the command composer require league/flysystem-aws-s3-v3.
I have run config:clear and cache:clear.
I have run multiple times composer update.
My .env file should have the right information as well.
I tried not using .env file and putting all the information directly in the filesystems.php file.
Here is the code in my query.
if ($request->hasfile('photo')) {
$file = $request->file('photo');
$name = time() . '.' . $file->getClientOriginalExtension();
$filePath = 'locations/' . $name;
Storage::disk('s3'))->put($filePath, file_get_contents($file);
return back()->with('msg', 'Image Uploaded successfully');
}
When using
if (Storage::disk('s3')->exists('my-file-name.jpg')) {
dd("hello");
}
I get the error message : Unable to check existence for: myFileName.
When I dd(Storage::disk('s3'))->put($filePath, file_get_contents($file));, the url is null, but I do get the right bucket name, the credentials from my env file, the right region etc... Here is the dd.

Here is the AWS User Permission policies : user_policy.
When using the terminal, using the same AWS credentials, I have access to my bucket, and can upload and download files. However I can't through Laravel.
I am at a complete loss here. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advance.

Answer 1

To anyone who might have the same problem. I managed to upload a file to my s3 bucket.
After looking around on the github, there was a commit not merged that would give the actual error which was :
'Error executing "PutObject" on "https://bucket.s3.region.amazonaws.com/file.ext"; AWS HTTP error: cURL error 60: SSL certificate problem: unable to get local issuer certificate (see https://curl.haxx.se/libcurl/c/libcurl-errors.html) for https://bucket.s3.region.amazonaws.com/file.ext'
To resolve that issue :
I have a very Simple Solution to this problem. You can do this without any certificate file.
Go on Laravel Root Folder -> Vender -> guzzlehttp -> guzzle -> src
open Client.php
find $defaults Array . that looks like this way.
$defaults = [
'allow_redirects' => RedirectMiddleware::$defaultSettings,
'http_errors' => true,
'decode_content' => true,
'verify' => true,
'cookies' => false
];
Now main Job is to change value of verify key.
'verify' => false,
So After this, it will not check SSL Certificate for CURL Request. This Solution works for me. I find this solution after much research.
Note: 'verify' => false can create a security issue in any Live or Development server. Do not try this on Server. This solution is only for Local System.
