Hi all,
I've never had this issue before but i get this error when I try and get my site live. It all works fine on XAMPP locally.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Running Laravel 5.5
PHP 7.0 running on server.
I can see it's still trying to look in my xampp folder instead of on the actual server. Any ideas on where to change this
file_put_contents(C:\xampp\htdocs\template\storage\framework/sessions/H88urfV9i5pugcdyiTgmFp02OaIhKQ7FcGFxrJIJ): failed to open stream: No such file or directory
You need to create the storage/framework directory manually.
You might need to create the whole /storage/ directory structure manually:
storage/app
storage/logs
storage/framework
storage/framework/cache
storage/framework/sessions
storage/framework/views
storage/framework/testing
@36864 thanks it worked
Have you defined that path somewhere? Is it a Linux server?
the storage folder is already there. with 3 subfolders of app, framework and logs.
@bashy I haven't defined that path anywhere that I can remember. It is a Linux server yeah, which means the slashes are the wrong way round wherever it's defined right?
Got an hour commute home now, will have a look when I'm home again.
Thanks in advance for any help
@OshJones Please check the below possibilities to resolve the issue what I know.
First try with this command in live
php artisan cache:clear
If the above not worked, recheck the new folders below ...
storage/framework/cache
storage/framework/sessions
storage/framework/views
still you are not getting the solution, check the storage or framework permissions.
chmod -R gu+w storage
chmod -R guo+w storage
It's not just the slashes, it looks like you've defined an absolute storage path that was valid on your development machine but obviously won't be valid on a linux server.
This might just be a caching issue, if you copy/pasted the project folder directly into your server, try clearing the cache.
Thanks guys, turns out it was an issue with the cache due to copy pasting the files over. Bit of a headache, but all fixed now.
Thank you all for your help.
@OshJones How u solved ?
@arctushar It was a case of running php composer update and making sure it was loading the image intervention class from the config file.
getting the same issue and checked storage dir and everything was fine there, getting the issue because of php versions, on xampp its 8.2 and on server its linux server 7.4, so make php versions same and update composer
