Storage Link Not Working

You can try:

Create the special route for that

Route::get('images/{filename}', function ($filename)
{
    $path = storage_path() . '/img/' . $filename;

    if(!File::exists($path)) abort(404);

    $file = File::get($path);
    $type = File::mimeType($path);

    $response = Response::make($file, 200);
    $response->header("Content-Type", $type);

    return $response;
});

And access a file from this route url /images/{filename}.

The asset helper starts at the root of your project. However the files in the storage directory are not accessible publicly by default. You need to create your own file response for that like @saurabh said.

None of this should be necessary.

The symlink should work automatically.

@bobbybouwmann

According to the documentation I should be able to use the storage:link command to create a symlink from public/storage to storage/app/public

Then use the asset('storage/img/myimage.jpg') helper to display the image in a template.

My question is, what are some reasons it might not be working correctly? Permission problems? Or something else?

I'm working on a Mac with Homestead.

Yeah indeed, you need to create the symlink in your homestead box.

I am facing the same issue. @vkronlein @bobbybouwmann I did not get about creating symbolic link under homestead.

I executed php artisan storage:link in my app root directory and also it showed me message saying successfully created but when I try to access the url like this http://lara6/storage/1_1_387959D1-2AB7-B0B2-AEE8-37B70CE6F342.png it says Sorry, the page you are looking for could not be found.

Can you pls guide. Thanks.

Ok I figured this out. here are the steps to follow

SYMBOLIC LINK ON MAC - HOMESTEAD EVN
- ssh into your homestead using below command 
- cd ~homestead
- vagrant up
- vagrant ssh
- cd Code/PATH_TO_YOUR_APP_ROOT_DIR
- php artisan storage:link

when executing you might get error saying

In Filesystem.php line 228:
symlink(): No such file or directory

cd into your local app directory and unlink the already created symbolic link with this command

// Assuming you are at the root of your project
rm -rf public/storage

ssh again into your virtual box to your app folder and run php artisan storage:link again. With this you should be good

Thanks

Thanks @COACHTHEM , that works for me!

visit laravel documentation

'links' => [
    public_path('storage') => storage_path('app/public'),
    public_path('images') => storage_path('app/images'),
],
