Laravel Project Deployment Problem in Shared Hosting (000webhost)

try public_path() and not base_path()

if you have installed Laravel securely, base_path() . '/images/' should not be accessible to users

@snapey I have also tried this. And its working on localhost, but not in webhost..

$user = User::find(Auth::user()->id);
        if($request->hasFile('avatar')){
            
        $path = time().'.'.$request->avatar->getClientOriginalExtension();
        $request->avatar->move(public_path('images'), $path);
  
        $user->avatar = $path;
         }

You are going to have to investigate what 'not working' means in more detail?

Any errors logged?

Do you go inside the if statement?

is public_path('images') writeable by the web server?

@snapey , No. it's not triggering the if condition. And, the public_path('images') aren't writeable by the server

@NIKHIL_LU210 - I think the issue is with the .htacess file, it depends on how u hosted the application.

@gurur this is my .htaccess file code:

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    <IfModule mod_negotiation.c>
        Options -MultiViews -Indexes
    </IfModule>

    RewriteEngine On

    # Handle Authorization Header
    RewriteCond %{HTTP:Authorization} .
    RewriteRule .* - [E=HTTP_AUTHORIZATION:%{HTTP:Authorization}]

    # Redirect Trailing Slashes If Not A Folder...
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} (.+)/$
    RewriteRule ^ %1 [L,R=301]

    # Handle Front Controller...
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
    RewriteRule ^ index.php [L]
</IfModule>

no, unlikely .htaccess

anyway, you said, server cannot write to public folder.

@snapey yes.. What shoud I do now...?

the public_path('images') aren't writeable by the server

Email the host asking to give you permissions or maybe try to upload the files to an AWS S3 bucket? lol
