Hello I tried to deploy my Laravel application in Heroku, but it throws an error at the log that It can't put contents to the tmp folder, or create folders there.
I tried to change permissions for the /tmp directory, storage directories and bootstrap/cache, that didn't really work, so any solution for that?

I think you did something wrong in your setup on heroku. Your application shouldn't be running in the /tmp directory to begin with!
You can follow this tutorial if you wish: https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/getting-started-with-laravel
@BOBBYBOUWMANN - I was following this article actually, but instead of creating the project from scratch I pushed my own project to there and resumed with the other steps.
@secmuhammed Mmmh, the tutorial should work in general. Are you sure you didn't do any funky stuff?
Maybe try it with a fresh laravel installation and see if that works for you? I'm not in the position right now to try it out myself for you!
@secmuhammed, you probably have found a solution by now but I'll post this anyway for someone who may face this same problem..
Heroku's filesystem is temporary, and goes away any time your dynos are restarted - i.e. at least once daily (due to the automatic restarts Heroku does) and after every deploy or config change. This means you shouldn't rely on the filesystem for anything intended to be permanent - no file uploads, for example (they should go somewhere like AWS S3). Solution? Store sessions using a different driver, like the database...

Did you get any solution?
