I had the same issue, the fully qualified domain was incorrect.

Does your domain and TLD match those in the APP_URL environment variable; Laravel 8 appears to use .test now, whereas I tend to use .dev still?

Thanks for your answer. Yes it matches, i run it locally and here is the app_url : APP_URL=http://localhost

The image is successfully uploaded in storage/app/public/profile-photos The url path of the image in the browser is: http://localhost/storage/profile-photos/z6VKTGCJRrzZB2QcrJHGBaMKcGAgPpKIbKenz5YJ.jpeg

i ran the command : php artisan storage:link

but nothing changes, it still doesn't work.

check your app url is it http://localhost or http://localhost/your_app_name

When I try http:127.0.0.1:8000//storage/profile-photos/zKAzeElcGCDodmdnZWBW2q2nLeCgO8KfpqOHnMM7.jpeg it works.

When I change the APP_URL variable from "Localhost" to "127.0.0.1:8000/, then the url of the link is http://127.0.0.1:8000/user/http:127.0.0.1:8000//storage/profile-photos/zKAzeElcGCDodmdnZWBW2q2nLeCgO8KfpqOHnMM7.jpeg"

I can't make it display the right url

my app URL is http://127.0.0.1:8000/

What is the URL of the page that should show the avatar

it's http://127.0.0.1:8000/user/profile and on this page, the url of the image is http://localhost:800/storage/profile-photos/zVUs21sb3fLNOrlzIHDsdJK0tscbIiNOKtIvOkbz.jpeg

but it's not showing.

in the browser if I go to : http://127.0.0.1:8000/storage/profile-photos/zVUs21sb3fLNOrlzIHDsdJK0tscbIiNOKtIvOkbz.jpeg

i can see the image.

So your APP_URL should be http://127.0.0.1:8000

open tinker and enter

>>> User::find(1)->toArray()

what do you see? (use id for a user with valid image)

profile_photo_url is the path to the avatar

it works thank you for you help Snapey!! I've found my mistake.

when you install laravel, the default App_URL is Localhost.

I tried to replace it with http://127.0.0.1:8000 and I did it wrong. It was set to: http:http://127.0.0.1:8000 (two times http)

Sorry for the disturbing and thanks you very much for your help Snapey and M_Viper28 !!

just in case someone read this post later

you may have some problems when you install Laravel 8 with Jetstream

1. .env will append .test to your project name

when your use laravel new blog.test --jet

in .env APP_URL=http://blog.test.test

2. .env change the DB config

3. for Homestead

for example your host is Windows 10

and you create a new homestead, and ready vagrant up

vagrant ssh to where you want create the project and run

composer global require laravel/installer
laravel new project-name --jet

end of the installation, you will see an error about symlink,

in the host (Windows 10), run as Administrators to use cmd , create the symlink

mklink /J "D:\your\project\public\storage" "D:\your\project\storage\app\public"

and in host (Windows 10) go to project folder (NOT in the Homestead) run

npm install && npm run dev

4. Migration

vagrant ssh to Homestead project folder, run

php artisan migrate

Enjoy!

I had the same issue because I forgot the 'storage:link' command.

Updating the Laravel Installer to the latest version ( ^4.0 at this time) may resolve many issue.

Setting .env with correct URL values and php artisan storage:link solves the problem for me.

having the same problem with profile-photos but cannot figure out the correct APP_URL path. Storage is linked to public/storage. In a fresh "laravel new l8 --jet", the default APP_URL=http://l8.test. I believe it used to be localhost or 127.0.0.1, same as DB_HOST. Using homestead macOS. Any input would be appreciated.

I finally got the photo-image to update. i deleted the public/storage directory in homestead and then ran the storage:link command again. a new symbolic link was created and voila!

To anyone having a similar issue using --jet and homestead.......
