I'm storing files in Laravel api. Files are mostly images. The images are storing at public/storage/claim-images but not in storage/app/public/claim-images. Isn't images supposed to stored in both directory ? Here is how I'm storing the files
return Storage::disk('public')->put('claim-images', $request->file('claim-image'));
Note that I alreday run the php artisan storage:link
Laravel version - 7.30
Read your filesystem.php. You are using the public disk in your code, this means that the path will be public_path() as seen in the configuration.
What you are looking for is to use the 'local' disk, which should default to storage_path('app'). For all defaults, check the source on Github here.
php artisan storage:link is creating a Symlink IN the public folder TO de storage folder. So this is not working out for you since you are storing files directly in the public folder instead of the storage folder. The correct end result should be that all files reside in the storage folder, while the symlink in the public folder refers to that directory.
See for more info https://laravel.com/docs/8.x/filesystem#the-public-disk

I have an existing laravel project that I wrote on a Windows PC, I tried to copy the project to a MacBook and it runs well, but the problem is the storage:link doesn't work, all the picture I save in the storage folder can't be accessed through the app, I tried to enter the link of the files manually on the browser and it's still doesn't work.
I also checked the folder and the files, they still exist.
I'm still new in using Mac, does anyone have a solution?
I also tried to upload my laravel project to a shared hosting without SSH access, how can I make a storage link?
Thanks in advance.
I am not sure, maybe this is for wrong file locations. well, if you can find the folders you want to link you can run a raw command anyway
ln -s /project_folder/storage/app/public /project_folder/public/storage
Once you move the project to another system or directory , you need to recreate the symlink. Re run the command
php artisan storage:link
I'm using a shared hosting service and move everything in laravel's public directory into hosting's public_html and move everything beside laravel's public directory into a new folder I generate in the same directory as the public_html directory such as below:
root / parent directory
public_html
laravel
Make a file in public folder named symlink.php which contains this code:
<?php
$targetFolder = '../laravel/storage/app/public';
$linkFolder = $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'].'/storage';
if(symlink($targetFolder,$linkFolder)){
echo 'Symlink completed';
} else {
echo 'Symlink Failed';
}
?>
you can specify the $targetFolder variable to your storage/app/public path like above.
afterwards call the file through your laravel link.
eg:
http://mylaravel-example.com/symlink.php
nb : the file's name is not a fixity, you can specify it as you desired.
Using a windows server, I have a laravel installation.
I have a storage folder that I have created on 'root/storage'
When I save images from the website, the images are stored in this folder.
I use this to save the files:
Storage::disk('local')->put('course_badges/'.$pre_string . $request->file('badge')->getClientOriginalName(), File::get($request->file('badge')));
When I try to reference the file like so 'https://app.com/storage/file_name.jpg', laravel gives me a 'Sorry, the page you are looking for could not be found.' error.
However is I copy the files to '/public/storage/'
The image is then referenced correctly.
I have run the: php artisan symlink function.
I have tried to run ln -s ../storage/ command in powershell, but windows tells me that ln is not recognized.
What I am trying to achieve is to have my files saved in the root/storage folder (and sub folders)
and to reference them using https:app.nam/storage/file
I had simmilar issue
as u mentioned file is stored in root/storage means problem with symlink between root/storage to public/storage to fix this
remove storage folder from public dir
Note:- keep backup first
then run php artisan storage:link
it should work
HTML tag
<img src="storage/app/avatars/23_avatar1548246815.bmp" alt="">
File already exist on this path. But not showing.
And I used also this php artisan storage:link, but not working.
Error is Server Error 403 Forbidden.
According to laravel documentation.
The Public Disk
The public disk is intended for files that are going to be publicly accessible. By default, the public disk uses the local driver and stores these files in storage/app/public. To make them accessible from the web, you should create a symbolic link from public/storage to storage/app/public. This convention will keep your publicly accessible files in one directory that can be easily shared across deployments when using zero down-time deployment systems like Envoyer.
To create the symbolic link, you may use the storage:link Artisan command:
php artisan storage:link
Of course, once a file has been stored and the symbolic link has been created, you can create a URL to the files using the asset helper:
echo asset('storage/file.txt');
thing I would do is definitely use this method
<img src="{{asset('assets/images/image.png')}}">
to link to your asset files.
Shouldnt the storage/app/avatars be storage/app/pubic/avatars ?
If you say that the file exists on that path, it points that the problem is with file permissions. Change the /project/storage permissions to 777, delete the public/storage folder, and run php artisan storage:link, then try one more time. If no, try to give 777 permissions to public folder
I use:
php artisan storage:link
After that i can access my file in public/storage
But when I add file like this:
request()->image->store('public/storage/foto');
or
request()->image->store('storage/foto');
or
request()->image->store('foto');
That put my file in storage/uploads directory and I don't have access to this files from browser. what did I do wrong? Maybe I skip some important settings?
You need to ensure that the file is stored on your public disk in order for it to be accessible from a browser. You can specify the disk in the store method by adding it as a second parameter, e.g. request()->image->store('foto', 'public');.
Try this :
$request->file('image')->storeAs('public/images',$image_name);
The default for uploaded images appears to be /storage/app/public/profiles/, but the frontend generated URL of /storage/profiles/image isn't being found.
I tried to find any sort of routing for that directory and haven't been able to do so. Any help would be appreciated.
You must link to the storage directory. From the documentation:
Once Spark is installed, you should link the public/storage directory to your storage/app/public directory. Otherwise, user profile photos stored on the local disk will not be available
And the relevant code:
ln -s /path/to/storage/app/public /path/to/public/storage
Just delete the storage folder inside public folder and run the command using absolute paths(from root folder).
