Im hosting laravel in a shared server enviroment. public folder is under public_html and other files are in seperate folder.
Im unable to upload files to the public folder which I want to display. Is there any workaround to resolve this I get "League\Flysystem\Exception Impossible to create the root directory"
I created a seperate disk under
'my_files' => [
'driver' => 'local',
'root' => '/home/domain/public_html'. '/myfiles',
],
Im able to to view /store images inside the myfiles directory. However is it safe to follow this procedure since laravel recommends to use symbolic link. I validate and allow .jpg/png files of the particular user to upload in the myfiles directory
See https://laracasts.com/discuss/channels/laravel/next-issue-fonts-and-images-arent-visible
I have images under assets, all is fine.
I would only be concerned where you place images if they are private customer images only.
Thank you jlrdw. The images are of members, im saving them with random generated number stored in the db. Is this an ok practice.
