Hi I seem to have some issues with the profile image, I've made the link as required however when i update the image the file is places and I can see if references in public/storage/profiles
however when the browser attempts to fetch the image i'm receiving a 404 this while I can see it in the folders anyone had this issue or is this just me?
Are you absolutely sure that you created the symlink to your storage folder correctly? I remember having similar issues when using Homestead and I tried creating the symlink outside of homestead which caused issues. The fix was to ssh into homestead and create the symlink there instead while removing the symlink outside the VM.
I've attempted both from within the vm and outside. I will give it another try but right now I'm scratching my head as to why this is happening.
@pakuize It appears that they are aware of some sort of profile image issue. See Taylor's comment here: https://github.com/laravel/spark/pull/219
As long as the storage folder is linked from public as ln -s ../storage/app/public storage, you should be fine.
