So I'm testing that a Laravel app that I just deployed to an Ubuntu server with Nginx works correctly, and I reached a point where I need to download some files that were upload from the front end using Angular.
I can upload files with no problem and I made sure that those are actually in the server and yeah, they are saved as expected.
However when I need to download them I get the error: "Failed to create the file"
It worked on my local machine, so I'm guessing is kind of a configuration problem but I'm not sure what to change yet.
The file is being requested through a GET request with Http with the header: { responseType: ResponseContentType.Blob }, the latter being part of Angular.
And in Laravel this is how I'm returning the file:
public function download($activityId) {
$activity = $activity = Activity::find($activityId, ['student_id', 'file_storage']);
$file = public_path() . '/storage/activityFiles/' . $activity['student_id'] . '/' . $activity['file_storage'];
return response()->download($file);
}
What can I be missing?
I decided to take a look at the laravel logs to see a little further the problem.
The problem was that I forgot to create the symbolic link to the storage.
That fixed the issue.

There are some my route not going to HTTPS in my Javascript code
loadSettingTable("{{ route('setting.table.data.datatable') }}");
they become like this, so my datatable can't be load because mixed content.
loadSettingTable("http://*****.com/admin/data-setting-table/datatable");
but my css and JS file already become HTTPS.
I already give this on my AppServiceProvider and ENV
//AppServiceProvider.php on Boot
if(env('REDIRECT_HTTPS')) {
$url->formatScheme('https');
URL::forceScheme('https');
}
//.ENV
REDIRECT_HTTPS=true
But some of it work fine with this code, why my code with route name not giving https?
loadTableRealCommSumAgent("/agent/commissions-summary-member-ajax");
I found the error myself, but don't really know why this error happens on my production server not staging server. I remove $url->formatScheme('https'); because it giving some error on production but not always and it's fixed my problem.
I'm having a problem loading images in my html dynamically after storing them successfully with Laravel Vapor.
I have followed this documentation provided by laravel vapor to store files, and it works like a charm. I copy my uploaded files from the tmp directory into the root of my S3 bucket and then store the path of that file in my databases images table so that later I can return the file path to my front end and display the image in my browser.
Unfortunately this is always returning a 403 status code from AWS S3.
I could fix this by making my generated S3 bucket public, but that would raise a security issue. I believe this should work out of the box, not sure where I could have gone wrong... any ideas?
I am returning the uploaded image url using the Storage facade.
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Storage;
return Storage::url($image->path);
Where $image->path is the file path in my S3 bucket.
I'm sure that the storage facade is working correctly because it is returning the correct url with the file's path.
I got the solution to this problem. I contacted laravel vapor support and I was told to set the visibility property for my file to public when I copy it to the permanent location, as stated in Laravel's official documentation here.
So after you upload your file using the js vapor.store method you should copy it to a permanent directory, then set it's visibility to public.
Storage::copy($request->path, str_replace('tmp/', '', $request->path));
Storage::setVisibility(str_replace('tmp/', '', $request->path), 'public');
I also noticed that your can set the visibility of the file directly in the vapor.store method by passing a visibility attribute with the respective value.
vapor.store(file, { visibility: 'public-read' });
As a side note: just 'public' will return a 400 bad request, it must be set to 'public-read'.
I'm having problem with my laravel file system CORS, I'm trying to cache the image from the url (which is also my website) in my ionic application but it's failing because of the error. I tried the image from https://reqres.in/api/users/1 and there is no problem caching the image in my ionic application. I guess the problem here is in my laravel website
In one of my current projects I have to save 200+ images in my Ionic App from a request to my server.
The way I handled this problem was converting the image to Base64 using Image Intervention and responding to the request with back to the app to then save the Base64 in the Ionic Storage like so.
Laravel Controller
public function grabImages(Request $request){
$image = (string) Image::make('public/bar.png')->encode('data-url');
$data = {
'base64' : $image,
'file_name' : 'test'
}
return $data;
}
Ionic
After receiving the data you can just store it in the Ionic Storage and access it wherever you would like to, even offline.
To display it all you have to do is set the image source to the Base64.
Using this method also solves a few problems, such as the user cannot see the images in the image gallery, as well as allows you to store them and use them offline for as long as you would like and remove them whenever.
As ImJT said I am using the barryvdh's laravel-cors plugin as well.
Hope this answered your question, good luck!
I have a host for my Laravel website and another (non-laravel) for stored files. Direct access to my files are blocked completely by default and I want to control access to them by creating temporary links in my Laravel site. I know how to code, just want to know the idea of how to do it (not details).
From the Laravel docs
Temporary URLs For files stored using the s3 or rackspace driver, you
may create a temporary URL to a given file using the temporaryUrl
method. This methods accepts a path and a DateTime instance specifying
when the URL should expire:
$url = Storage::temporaryUrl(
'file.jpg', now()->addMinutes(5)
);
You could also make your own solution by directing all image request through your own server and making sure the file visibility is set to private.
Here is an example of how a controller could return image from your storage
public function get($path)
{
$file = Storage::disk('s3')->get($path);
// Do your temp link solution here
return response($file, 200)->header('Content-Type', 'image/png');
}
What i am using right now is Flysystem provided in laravel.Laravel Flysystem integration use simple drivers for working with local filesystems, Amazon S3 and other some space provide also. So for this doesn't matter whether is a server is laravel server or not.
Even better, it's very simple in this to switch between server by just changing server configuration in API.
As far as I know we can create temporary Url for s3 and rackspace in this also by calling temporaryUrl method. Caching is already in this.
That's the thing.
If your files are uploaded on an AWS S3 server
then,
use Storage;
$file_path = "4/1563454594.mp4";
if( Storage::disk('s3')->exists($file_path) ) {
// link expiration time
$urlExpires = Carbon::now()->addMinutes(1);
try {
$tempUrl = Storage::disk('s3')->temporaryUrl($file_path, $urlExpires);
} catch ( \Exception $e ) {
// Unable to test temporaryUrl, its giving driver dont support it issue.
return response($e->getMessage());
}
}
Your temporary URL will be generated, After given expiration time (1 minute). It will expire.
I need to update a website from a colleague to just add a LDAP connexion.
I use EasyPHP devserver 17.0 with php 7.1.3 and MySQL 5.7.17.
I've read a lot of docs etc to be started and to recover the site in local as it is working actually.
Everything was working so I began to add a login form etc... but when I tried to test a link from the website, it return me the error "Sorry, the page you are looking for could not be found". So I began to search on forums I found some results about routes etc and everything I've tested didn't worked.
So, I decide to use the backup from the website as it was when I juste restore it in local(I precise link to other page and everything was working). I check the link and again, "Sorry, the page you are looking for could not be found". I decide to try another developement tool and download XAMP, exactly same error. I tried with Wamp, Laragon always same error.
In the apache conf mod_rewrite is enabled.
My laravel framework version is: 5.5.39
So my folder look like:
Laravel 5.5.39
The content of routes > web.php:
Route::get('/', function () {
return view('welcome');
})->name('welcome');
// Holidays
Route::get('/holidays/create', 'HolidayController#create')->name('holidays.create');
Route::post('/holidays', 'HolidayController#store')->name('holidays.store');
Route::get('/holidays/{holiday}/delete', 'HolidayController#destroy')->name('holidays.destroy');
Route::get('/holidays/{holiday}/edit', 'HolidayController#edit')->name('holidays.edit');
Route::post('/holidays/{holiday}', 'HolidayController#update')->name('holidays.update');
// Leave types
Route::get('/types/create', 'TypeController#create')->name('types.create');

Route::post('/types/{type}', 'TypeController#update')->name('types.update');
// Users
Route::resource('users', 'UserController');
Route::get('/births', 'UserController#getAllBirths')->name('births');

Route::post('/leaves/{leave}', 'LeaveController#update')->name('leaves.update');
Route::get('/leaves/{leave}/delete', 'LeaveController#delete')->name('leaves.delete');
Route::get('/leaves', 'LeaveController#getAll')->name('leaves');
Route::get('/config', 'ConfigController#index')->name('config');
// Stats
Route::get('/statistics', 'StatsController#index')->name('stats.index');
Auth::routes();
I don't know what I could do but please ask me if you need more information to help me.
If it can help; gitLab link from the site I'm trying to restore: https://gitlab.com/balsigergil/btplan
To fix the problem I had to change the VirutalHost DocumentRoot so the root is the public directory.
DocumentRoot "C:/Users/sadm-m263733/Desktop/EasyPHP-Devserver-17/eds-www/siteBTPlan/public"
