Laravel 5 - ErrorException failed to open stream: Permission denied - laravel

Question

I've just git clone a repository of mine containing a Laravel 5.1 project. I've gone through the normal steps to get it up and running (setup the webserver, db, etc). I've now gone to the web address I configured and i'm getting the following error message:
ErrorException in compiled.php line 6648:
file_put_contents(/3c7922efc24ab13620cd0f35b1fdaa61): failed to open stream: Permission denied
Any idea's what folder it's trying to access?

Answer 1

I solved the problem with this solution, clarifying that if you have Windows, you apply lines 1 and 3 and it works the same.
php artisan cache:clear
chmod -R 777 storage/
composer dump-autoload

Answer 2

To solve this problem I needed to create a few folder's that were missing from my install. You require the following folders to be readable and writable by your www user:
/storage
/storage/cache
/storage/framework
/storage/framework/sessions
/storage/framework/views
/storage/framework/cache
/storage/logs
Also, set the folder permissions to 775. From the root directory run the command: sudo chmod -R 755 storage

Answer 3

If nothing help you and if you work on windows with docker it can be the issue that wrong symlink you have, you can try:
ln -s /var/www/storage/app/public /var/www/public/storage
And after that:
chown -R $USER:www-data storage
chmod -R 777 storage
on docker bash.

Answer 4

If you're using ubuntu, most likely you have to give permissions to that folder storage
cd into the project and
use the command -> sudo chmod 755 storage/*

Answer 5

I had similar problem in my localhost and the problem was that I was trying to upload a file larger than upload_max_filesize in my php.ini file .
just updating this to greater value and restart my server solved the problem ,, if you having similar problem this might be the case

Answer 6

If you are on a Linux distribution with SELinux enabled, here is what you need to do:
sudo chcon -R -t httpd_sys_rw_content_t /var/www/html/my-app/storage
sudo chown -R nginx /var/www/html/my-app/storage
sudo chmod -R u+w /var/www/html/my-app/storage
This should set the proper context for the storage directory, allowing the web server to write to it.

Answer 7

I had this problem lately with my tests, and resolved it through: composer dump-autoload

Answer 8

This is how I solve a similar issue since I don't have access to the terminal to run sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /thedirectory
in
config/filesystem.php
'public' => [
'driver' => 'local',
'root' => storage_path('app/public'),
'url' => env('APP_URL').'/storage',
'visibility' => 'public',
],
Then in my uploader controller
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Storage;
$file_path= Storage::path('public/importable');
if (!is_dir($file_path)) {mkdir( $file_path,0775, true);}

Answer 9

This is a permission issue. I used few hours to resolve this problem. I found only 3 lines to give permissions. So first go to root folder f your Laravel application and run these 3 lines.
php artisan cache:clear
chmod -R 777 storage/
composer dump-autoload

Answer 10

For me it was because the single file was owned by root...written at some point when I setup the files, and the app couldn't read it. Solution could be to change ownership, get rid of it, etc.

Answer 11

For me solution was to change folder owner of laravel project. Ensure that is your own user and not root:www-data.
sudo chown -R username:group directory

Answer 12

Run the following command in the directory that is being triggered to check the permissions:
ls -lah
Then if there was any issue you can correct it with:
sudo chown -R username:group directory
