link app/public folder to public/storage folder

@priyasanka00 here is a post that I recently shared for another user here, you might find it useful as well:

Warning: symlink(): No such file or directory in /home/adjuncti/public_html/symlink.php on line 4 Symlink process successfully completed

hi is that working properly?

still photos are not showing

@priyasanka00 but can you see them in the public directory now? Can you show the code on how you reference them? Do you use the correct path?

this is code:

$targetFolder = $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'].'/storage/app/public'; $linkFolder = $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'].'/public/storage'; symlink($targetFolder,$linkFolder); echo 'Symlink process successfully completed';

still not created a storage folder in public folder

ah this is my controller:

$filename = $request->image->getClientOriginalName(); $filepath = str_replace('','/','storage/' . $filename); $request->image->storeAs('public',$filename);

A symlink should just create a file that points to the original directory, but not an actual directory.

@fylzero that command exists a long time now, but as you can see in the original question, this is on a cPanel :)

in Cpanel i think terminal is not provided: my localhost that your comand working

can you please edit the code to actual directory

@priyasanka00 I don't understand your requirement. This is how it should work.

You said the pictures are not displayed. I never saw a code on how you try to display them.

this is an image return path

namespace App\Http\Controllers;

use Illuminate\Http\Request; use App\form1;

class formcontroller extends Controller { public function store(Request $request ){

//dd($request->all());
//if ($request->hasFile('image'))
$this->validate($request,[
    'yourname'=>'required',
    'email'=>'required',
    'tp'=>'required|max:10|min:9',
    'subject'=>'required|max:41|min:4',
    'message'=>'required',
    'price'=>'required|numeric',
    'category'=>'required|numeric',
    'image'=>'required',
]);
$filename = $request->image->getClientOriginalName();
$filepath = str_replace('','/','storage/' . $filename);
$request->image->storeAs('public',$filename);

@priyasanka00 so as it is works on localhost but not on the server right?

Now the question is did you run the file that you created from the link?

yoururl.com/symlink.php and did that said Successfully completed only on the page in the browser?

yes it said like this:

Warning: symlink(): No such file or directory in /home/adjuncti/public_html/symlink.php on line 4 Symlink process successfully completed

But there is an error, don't you see?

No such file or directory in /home/adjuncti/public_html/symlink.php

Did you created the file directly in the public folder? Are there enough permissions to run the file? Compare the permissions with the index.php file.

thank you for your advice:

i changed root path acording to index.php in symlink.php as follows, now all imges are returned and link folder is aloso been created,

$targetFolder = $_SERVER['/laravel/bootstrap/autoload.php'].'/home/adjuncti/laravel/storage/app/public'; $linkFolder = $_SERVER['/laravel/bootstrap/autoload.php'].'/home/adjuncti/public_html/storage'; symlink($targetFolder,$linkFolder); echo 'Symlink process successfully completed';
