storage link not working in production

Level 75

Try to create symlink manually, run tis command from public folder

ln -s ../storage/app/public storage

Also you have to include storage in asset helper.

<img src="{{ asset('storage/path-to-image.jpg') }}">

@MichalOravec thanks a lot, it worked for me under laravel 9. php artisan storage:link has permission problems on linux distributions.

there is loads of investigation you could do on your own. We don't have access to what you see

For instance

what does the img src tag look like in the browser? correct server? correct path?
if you are in the terminal do you see the same content when you look in storage/app/public and public/storage? (you should)
any inconsistency in the letter case of folder or file names

Hey @snapey

The path is correct, i have the same content in storage/app/public and public/storage folders!

I verified that everything is done correctly. i don't see why it won't work !!

Level 122

and when looking in the browser network tools you see 404 errors for your images?

Level 4

@snapey i have a 403 forbidden message.

Level 122

well that's useful to know since it's then a different type of problem

check the permissions and ownership of the files, obviously they need to be readable by your webserver (commonly the www-data user)

Level 4

I have found some solutions on internet to give permission with chmod 777 on my directory, but i can not allow myself to do it. Also i'm not the owner of this project ...
