Image not showing after linking public to public_html (C-panel)

helly community, I upload images to sub directories inside storage/app/public. I have expample logos and users directories.

Uploads and everything works on local host after running php artisan storage:link But on live server it is not working . I am using cpanel, so I symlink the public inside my primay_folder to public_html. When i try accessing it url, it gives 404.

Link to image of the the directory https://drive.google.com/file/d/1sfzt7SCN0_wSyD8BrZBDsAHLRmZC_b5I/view?usp=sharing

What might have been doing wrong or is there best way to go about this?

If you have terminal access to your live server, inside laravel app folder, run the same command as you did on local machine: php artisan storage:link

Link was set but the image is still not showing.

could it be how I linked the directory to public_html as I have shown in the image in the link. I runned ls -l and the public_html is shown as lrw.... and not drw...

Wait, you are trying to link non-default folders on your server? What needs to be linked with what? Your images are in public_html and you want to link that folder with laravel public folder?

Did you adapt you filesystems.php file from config folder?

        'public' => [
            'driver' => 'local',
            'root' => storage_path('app/public'),
            'url' => env('APP_URL').'/storage',
            'visibility' => 'public',
        ],

When you run php artisan storage:link, is there a link in public folder of your app?
