Start by checking on the server if the symlink has been created. You can also try deleting the directory in /public/storage, and running php artisan storage:link again

Symlink doesn't work in production
I try to upload images to my public folder but somehow in production it does not work. The image is saved to the storage/company folder but I cant access it in the public folder of my app.
filesystem.php
'links' => [
public_path('storage') => storage_path('app/public'),
public_path('company') => storage_path('app/company'),
],
service class
public function uploadFile(UploadedFile|File $logo): ?String
{
return Storage::putFile('company/logos', $logo);
}
I also ran the php artisan storage:link in forge but no success. Maybe someone could help here?

@Sinnbeck It says symlink has been created. Also deleted the storage folder no success.
The strange thing locally everything works just fine.

@SmokeTM Check it manually on the server. Make a file in the /storage/app/public folder and see if it shows up in /public/storage
Level 10
@Sinnbeck ok thats strange the public folder works but not the company folder.
Has that something to do with the rights?
Level 102
@SmokeTM does it exist in public?
Level 10
@Sinnbeck The company folder yes but not the logos folder and the image.
Level 102
@SmokeTM did you try deleting it and the storage folder and redo storage link?
Level 10
@Sinnbeck I mistakenly deleted the app/storage folder. Is it possible to restore them somehow? Command or something?
Level 102
@SmokeTM on production? You need to restore your backup of the folder. If it's shared hosting maybe they have backups
Level 10
@Sinnbeck I reinstalled everything now but storage link doesn't work anyways. Don't know what to do now? Yes on production.
Level 102
@SmokeTM so only one of them is created? Does it work locally? Laravel version?
Level 10
@Sinnbeck yes it looks like so. It works perfectly fine locally. Laravel version is 9.24.0
Level 102
@SmokeTM ok so the folders are removed in /public but are present in /storage? You run the link command and both folders show up in /public?
