storage not working on my Premium Shared Hosting

@Tray2 you telling me to create another filesystem

@niyo No.

You can read this https://www.tutsmake.com/laravel-8-file-upload-tutorial/

@Tray2 thanks for that but that's not the problem, It works well on my local server 127.0.0.1:8000/ but doesn't work on my hosting server

my controller

public function portfolioAdd (request $request) 
    {
        $this->validate($request, [
            'img_title' => 'required|min:3',
            'slug' => 'required|file|max:2024',
        ]); 

        $upload = $request->file('slug');
        $path = $upload->store('public/storage/gallery');

        Gallery::create([
            'img_title' => $request->img_title,
            'slug' => $path,
            'user_id' => Auth::user()->id
        ]);

        return redirect('/portfolio')->with('success', 'Your data is successful Added');
    }

I even tried to change my filesystem but still the same error

this is my HTML file

<div class="container">
    <div class="row">
      <div class="portfolio-items">
        @foreach($portfolio as $portfolios)
        <div class="col-sm-12 col-md-6 col-lg-4">
          <div class="portfolio-item">
            <div class="hover-bg"> <a href="{{ Storage::url($portfolios->slug) }}" title="{{ $portfolios->img_title }}" data-lightbox-gallery="gallery1">
              <div class="hover-text">
                <h4>{{ $portfolios->img_title }}</h4>
              </div>
              <img src="{{ Storage::url($portfolios->slug) }}" class="img-responsive" alt="Project Title"> </a> </div>
          </div>
        </div>
        @endforeach
      </div>
    </div>
  </div>

when I try the symlink it creates this file but the file or storage it creates doesn't work

public -> /domains/mydomain.com/public_html/laravelpro/storage/app/public

my routes

Route::get('/gallery', 'GalleryController@index');

how I create my symlink

Route::get('/cache', function() {
    Artisan::call('cache:clear');
});

Route::get('/storage', function() {
    Artisan::call('storage:link');
});

@niyo Are you using apache? Make sure the follow symlinks is enabled and that apache has permissions to the directories

@niyo also see if your host has how to articles.

@Tray2 I am using Hostinger.com premium hosting but in my Hpanel, I don't see where I can find apache

disableFunctions

system, exec,  mysql_list_dbs, ini_alter, dl, link, chgrp, leak, popen, apache_child_terminate, virtual, mb_send_mail 
I remove symlink in disableFunctions

I create a post and am able to view it in my public folder but not on the website

public/storage/gallery/7qOOOcbezcVUIxgdQ55feOUgokcE3jQieQ2QrnyR.jpg

I told you that It works well on my local server and the way I call them in the HTML have no problem, It just started when I hosted the website

@jlrdw what is how-to articles?

@niyo How ro articles will explain how to setup things. Like this article from Digital Ocean:

https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-install-and-configure-laravel-with-lemp-on-ubuntu-18-04

See if your host has any tips, blogs, tutorials or help on how to get everything setup. I have used Godaddy but never used hostinger.com.

But you should be able to setup all similar to development, make sure the symbolic link works.

Edit

You didn't see this article: https://www.hostinger.com/tutorials/how-to-install-laravel-on-ubuntu-18-04-with-apache-and-php/

@jlrdw thank man but my question is should I install apache first before I upload my project on the server. I even thought that apache comes with PHP itself because I start apache with Msql every time on my xampp

@niyo You could. But remember I am not familiar with your host so if you have more questions contact their technical support.

But you should be able to set everything up once you have Apache, php and mysql.

@jlrdw thanks man I will try to get in contact with them

@siangboon please give an example according to my codes below
