I'm pretty new at laravel, in fact and I'm trying to create my very first project. for some reason I keep getting this error (I haven't even started coding yet)
Error in exception handler: The stream or file "/var/www/laravel/app/storage/logs/laravel.log" could not be opened: failed to open stream: Permission denied in /var/www/laravel/bootstrap/compiled.php:8423
I've read this has something to do with permissions but chmod -R 775 storage didn't help at all.
To fix this issue, you need to change the ownership of the directory to the unix user that the webserver uses.
Even though I created the project within the VM using the VM user, the folder belonged to the user in the real computer; so, when trying to
Now it's working.
Thanks to all those that helped me figure this thing out
EDIT:
Actually, it still wasn't working, it still gave me a "permission denied" problem.
Here's what I did, I modified my Vagrantfile like this:
config.vm.synced_folder "./app","/var/www/", create:true,
:owner => "vagrant",
:group => "www-data",
:mount_options => ["dmode=775","fmode=664"]
Never set a directory to 777. you should change directory ownership. so set your current user that you are logged in with as owner and the webserver user (www-data, apache, ...) as the group. You can try this:
sudo chown -R $USER:www-data storage
sudo chown -R $USER:www-data bootstrap/cache
then to set directory permission try this:
chmod -R 775 storage
chmod -R 775 bootstrap/cache
Update:
Webserver user and group depend on your webserver and your OS. to figure out what's your web server user and group use the following commands. for nginx use:
ps aux|grep nginx|grep -v grep
for apache use:
ps aux | egrep '(apache|httpd)'
sudo chown -R {your current user}:www-data storage bootstrap/cache –
Newmann chown: www-data: illegal group name. Setting the directory to 777 is the only thing that works –
Antoinetteanton _www try this sudo chgrp -R _www bootstrap/cache . it would be helpful to take a look at this post: https://mcmap.net/q/88381/-correct-owner-group-permissions-for-apache-2-site-files-folders-under-mac-os-x –
Papaya daemon. I guess that's the new _www –
Antoinetteanton sudo in the deployment script? –
Landsman # chown -R $USER:laradock storage bootstrap/cache and then chmod -R 775 storage bootstrap/cache –
Anguiano Never use 777 for directories on your live server, but on your own machine, sometimes we need to do more than 775, because
chmod -R 775 storage
Means
7 - Owner can write
7 - Group can write
5 - Others cannot write!
If your webserver is not running as Vagrant, it will not be able to write to it, so you have 2 options:
chmod -R 777 storage
or change the group to your webserver user, supposing it's www-data:
chown -R vagrant:www-data storage
chown -R apache:apache laravelproject –
Roxieroxine chown -R vagrant:www-data storage did it for me, thanks. –

It also may be SELinux. (Centos, RedHat)
Determine status of SElinux on terminal:
$ sestatus
If status is enabled, write command to disable SElinux
$ setenforce Permissive
Or you may execute this command
$ sudo setenforce 0
You need to adjust the permissions of storage and bootstrap/cache.
cd into your Laravel project. sudo chmod -R 755 storagesudo chmod -R 755 bootstrap/cacheYou can try 777 if 755 doesn't work. 777 is not secure though!
Depending on how your web server is setup, you may be able to be more specific with your permissions, and only grant them to your web server user. Google WEB SERVER NAME Laravel file permissions for more information.
At the time of writing, this is for Laravel 5.4
nginx, apache, httpd, www-data, etc ... –
Anguiano It might be late but may help someone, changing directory permissions worked for me.
Assuming that your Laravel project is in /var/www/html/ directory. Goto this directory.
cd /var/www/html/
Then change permissions of storage/ and bootstrap/cache/ directories.
sudo chmod -R 775 storage/
sudo chmod -R 775 bootstrap/cache/
If permission 775 does not work, try setting 777. (Warning! This is the most relaxed permission, use with care).
sudo chmod -R 777 storage/
sudo chmod -R 777 bootstrap/cache/
cPanel: If you are on cPanel and don't have terminal available you can change permission by right clicking on the mentioned directory and it's sub-directories.
777 permission to the storage directory means you're giving the attackers a key to blow up the whole system. DON'T DO THIS. –
Motivity Add to composer.json
"scripts": {
"post-install-cmd": [
"chgrp -R www-data storage bootstrap/cache",
"chmod -R ug+rwx storage bootstrap/cache"
]
}
After composer install
Run following commands and you can add sudo at starting of command depends on your system:
chmod -R 775 storage/framework
chmod -R 775 storage/logs
chmod -R 775 bootstrap/cache
1- The nginx user and php-fpm user and app owner-user must be the same:
run command sudo vi /etc/nginx/nginx.conf change like bellow:
user nginx nginx;
run command sudo vi /etc/php-fpm.d/www.conf change like bellow:
listen.owner = nginx
listen.group = nginx
listen.mode = 0660
user = nginx
group = nginx
then restart nginx and php-fpm service
run below command
sudo chown nginx:nginx -R "your_project_path"
2- change file SELinux security context by run the following commands in the project path
chcon -R -t httpd_sys_content_t .
chcon -R -t httpd_sys_rw_content_t .
For all Centos 7 users on a Laravel context, there is no need to disable Selinux, just run these commands:
yum install policycoreutils-python -y # might not be necessary, try the below first
semanage fcontext -a -t httpd_sys_rw_content_t "/var/www/html/laravel/storage(/.*)?" # add a new httpd read write content to sellinux for the specific folder, -m for modify
semanage fcontext -a -t httpd_sys_rw_content_t "/var/www/html/laravel/bootstrap/cache(/.*)?" # same as the above for b/cache
restorecon -Rv /var/www/html/ # this command is very important to, it's like a restart to apply the new rules
Lastly, make sure your hosts, ips and virtual hosts are all correctly for remote accessing.
Selinux is intended to restrict access even to root users, so only the necessary stuff might be accessed, at least on a generalist overview, it's extra security, disabling it is not a good practise, there are many links to learn Selinux, but for this case it is not even required.
If you use cmd
sudo chown -R $USER:www-data storage
sudo chown -R $USER:www-data bootstrap/cache
If you use GUI
First go to the project and right click on the storage and check the properties and go to the Permissions tab
Change the permissions using below code
sudo chmod -R 777 storage
Then your file properties may be
Then check your settings and execute laravel command it will work :)
I stuck on this issue tried different commands but these will help to solve the problem
php artisan route:clear
php artisan config:clear
php artisan cache:clear
Hope it's helped others too.
In Laravel, you should set ACL on storage and cache directory so that web server user can read/write on the directory. Open a new terminal and run following:
HTTPDUSER=$(ps axo user,comm | grep -E '[a]pache|[h]ttpd|[_]www|[w]ww-data|[n]ginx' | grep -v root | head -1 | cut -d\ -f1)
sudo setfacl -dR -m u:"$HTTPDUSER":rwX -m u:$(whoami):rwX bootstrap/cache storage/
sudo setfacl -R -m u:"$HTTPDUSER":rwX -m u:$(whoami):rwX bootstrap/cache storage/
References:
Just run the following command from Project root Directory -
sudo chmod -R 775 storage
sudo chown -R $USER:www-data storage
Maximum people's are suggesting to change file permission 777 or 775, which I believe not an appropriate approach to solve this problem. You just need to change the ownership of storage and bootstrap folder.
In below Image you can see all my files/folder are under the root user(except storage and bootstrap, because I changed the ownership ),but I logged in as a administrator(before changing ownership) that's why it always giving permission denied. So I need to change the ownership of this two folder to administrator
So how I did this,
go to your project directory and run below commands.
sudo chown -R yourusername:www-data storage,
sudo chmod -R ug+w storage,
sudo chown -R yourusername:www-data bootstrap,
sudo chmod -R ug+w bootstrap
I managed to fix it as I was only granting permission to via this command:
Copy Code
sudo chmod -R 775 storage
The fix was to add this:
Copy Code
sudo chmod -R ugo+rw storage
try this
setenforce but in any case it is wrong to completely disable SELinux just to fix one permission issue. –
Precis This is what I do if I'm running Apache:
sudo chown -R $USER:www-data my_laravel_project/
sudo chmod -R 775 my_laravel_project/storage
sudo chmod -R 775 my_laravel_project/bootstrap/cache
cd my_laravel_project
php artisan optimize:clear
This solution is specific for laravel 5.5
You have to change permissions to a few folders: chmod -R -777 storage/logs chmod -R -777 storage/framework for the above folders 775 or 765 did not work for my project
chmod -R 775 bootstrap/cache
Also the ownership of the project folder should be as follows (current user):(web server user)
I wasn't too keen on changing my folder permissions to 777. Here's how I went about fixing this issue.
First, I changed the user who is running the web server on my local machine(I run nginx, but the principles apply everywhere):
$> sudo vim /etc/nginx/nginx.conf
user <my_user> #inside nginx.conf
service nginx reload
Afterwards, I created another index.php file under the public/ folder to find out who was running my php-fpm version and where I would go about changing that:
<?php
phpinfo();
?>
Reloading the page, I found out that www-data was the user(under the environment section). I also found out I was running php 7.1. I proceeded to change the user:
$> sudo vim /etc/php/7.0/fpm/pool.d/www.conf
#Look for www-data or the following variables: user, group, listen.user, listen.group.
Finally, I gave the following permissions to folders:
sudo chmod -R 775 ./storage/
Now, I made sure that I was the owner of the folders by using a simple:
ls -al
If you set the server and php-fpm users to yourself and the folders are owned by root for example, then you will keep encountering this issue. This can happen if you did a sudo laravel new <project> as root. In that case, make sure you use a recursive chown command on your project to change the user:group settings. In most default cases, www-data is the main setting for the server and php, in that case it's a matter of making sure the folder isn't out of www-data's reach.
My project is setup in my home directory. On Ubuntu 16.04 and Laravel 5.5.
In Linux
sudo chown -R www-data:root /var/www/name-project-Laravel
sudo chmod 755 /var/www/name-project-Laravel/storage
In my particular case I had a config file generated and cached into the bootstrap/cache/ directory so my steps where:
rm bootstrap/cache/*.phpCreate a new laravel.log file and apply the update of the permissions on the file using:
chmod -R 775 storageTried anything suggested here without success.
What worked for me was:
sudo chmod -R ugo+rw storage
sudo chmod -R ugo+rw storage/logs
Mac OS solution
I fixed this problem simply by giving the necessary permission to my folders.
logs folder and click on Get InfoSharing & Permissions. Now give Read & Write access to the folder.Follow the attachment.
Next step👇🏻
This worked for me:
RootFolder/storage/logs/
then just delete the laravel.log
please check which user tries to write or open your laravel.log like www-data default user to write laravel.log if you use nginx.
set permission for storage folder for this user
sudo chown -R $USER:www-data storage
chmod -R 775 storage
This error in Homestead happens when PHP version it is not correct for the project in my case I just added the appropriate version to the Homestead.yaml file:
- map: web-api.test
to: /home/vagrant/code/web-api/public
php: "8.1"
as you probably already know this issue is caused due to absence of write permission on the log folder which is a sub folder of storage.
To solve this problem walkedthrough these sequence of steps
sudo composer self-update
sudo chmod -R ugo+rw storage
Now storage folder should have permission drwxrwxrwx
To check permissions run the following command from project root
ls -l
Also if you face the following error after the step above
ErrorException chdir(): No such file or directory (errno 2)
Just create a folder named public on the project root folder using
sudo mkdir public
ps. For more information about the chmod commands check this
777 permissions lol. Definitely not the way to go. –
Zeeland below command would work for sure.
sudo chmod -R ugo+rw storage
On systems that may have SELinux enabled, such as Centos or RedHat:
Determine status of SElinux on terminal:
sestatus
If enabled, rather than change the mode to Permissive, which is discouraged, try changing the SELinux context, by:
chcon -Rv --type=httpd_sys_rw_content_t /path/to/your/write.files –
In Centos & Rockylinnux
chown root:nginx FOLDER_PROJECT -Rf
chmod 775 FOLDER_PROJECT -Rf
cd FOLDER_PROJECT
chmod 777 storage -Rf
setenforce 0
please rate :)
Not write any command or not gives any permission simplest way to solved this issue
just restart your system and try it again
it's work for me
