After deploying: images are missing. Path probably wrong?

The symlink usage is when images are placed above public_html. If your project in below public_html just display them, just resolve the correct url.

But main laravel should be above public_html. See

The problem is, storage is not accessible on the web. To make them accessible from the web, you should create a symbolic link from public/storage to storage/app/public. you can take a look at php artisan storage:link for creating a symbolic link. once the symblic is created used asset('storage/file.txt');. remove the / infront of the storage. you sould have something like {{ asset('storage/images/fotos/'.$item->com_id.'/'.$item->bw_id.'/'.$img->fotoname) }}

Yeah, that's correct. Sorry about my wrong structure shown before. Now I updated it. My images are placed above the public_html... But why the images aren't shown, while the css is working?

@mkojoa I have removed the first /, but I still have no pictures...

In my above Reply look at the last link it gives an example. If they are underneath public_html you won't need the SYM link.

My folder structure is correct at all. project-core parallel to the public_html. The index ist also correct. The page is working, the storage writable (Upload is working), database connection is workin, mail configurations are fine, the symlink correct. The css is working, the fonts are correct... There are only the images which aren't shown.

what are other possible issues?

Rather than go over numerous examples about a week ago this was discussed in detail please read through some of these replies here https://laracasts.com/discuss/channels/laravel/symlink-has-been-disabled-for-security-reasons-1

But if on shared I'd suggest just put them under public_html.

Just put the correct URL in that asset helper.

I have used the asset helper for quite a while now, and really never had any problems. But yes there's a couple times I had to use a little trial and error and get the url resolved correctly.

check the path that is specified in the html source

compare to the path of the file

make sure you don't have any issues with upper/lower case

remember, if your image is correctly symlinked in /storage then you should be able to put the url in your browser address bar and load the image

@jlrdw on this host symlinks are enabled and its supporting laravel. Via ssh I could properly create one with success. Thank you anyway. Have a nice weekend

Hi @cruiselee

Just in case, when you deployed your project, you kept the same IDs for the $item->com_id and the $item->bw_id right?

Have you tried what @snapey suggested about pasting the url to one of those images directly in your browser and see if it's loaded?

Hi together

@snapey I get an 403 error by putting the img-url in my browser... could it be that the symlink contains the full absolute path to the storage/app/public folder? How could I fix it?

Edit: ls storage gives me the correct folders in blue...

problem looks like you have an additional folder the root folder and the storage folder.

You just need to work out what url leads to the images. For instance /project/storage/

@snapey but then I would have no access to the entire page, isn't it? The webroot for the page is public_html/project, so the image path is shown as www.example.com/storage/image/fotos/34/1025/IMG-15235.jpg, the symlink is at public_html/project/storage to the linkpath project-folder/storage/app/public. Thus for me everything seems to be fine.

please correct me, if I didn't undersood your hint.

the ssh call readlink is give back an absolute path... is that ok? shouldn't it be not a rel path?

thank's a lot

Hi all

I solved it by clearing the chache. Sometimes it's nice to know where to seek! ;-)

php artisan config:clear
