Laravel 9 storage permission

March 9, 2023

I have a problem since I upgraded to laravel 9. When I upload an image to storage, the permissions to access the file are no longer correct.

Example : A user uploads a new image: the image save to this path: storage/app/public/folder/{user_id}/{project_name}/photos/my_photo.jpg

my_photo.jpg has the correct permissions (644)

but all the folders present between public/ and my_photo.jpg were created with permissions 700 instead of 755. The image therefore comes out with a 403 error.

I contacted my host but it doesn’t seem to come from them.

Does anyone have a solution to my problem?

Thanks very much !

Solution for creating permissions

>Solution :

we will give 755 permission to storage and bootstrap folder permission

sudo chmod -R 755 bootstrap/cache
sudo chmod -R 755 storage

After that run the Storage Link command

php artisan storage:link

Also, Change in Laravel filesystems.php in the config folder

'public' => [
            'driver' => 'local',
            'root' => storage_path('app/public'),
            'url' => env('APP_URL') . '/storage',
            'visibility' => 'public',
            'permissions' => [
                'file' => [
                    'public' => 0644,
                    'private' => 0600,
                ],
                'dir' => [
                    'public' => 0755,
                    'private' => 0700,
                ],
            ],
        ],
