Laravel 8 Failed to clear cache. Make sure you have the appropriate permissions

Question

I am running php artisan cache:clear to clear the cache in Godaddy shared hosting through SSH.

My other artisan commands working but php artisan cache:clear not.

I am getting following error :

Failed to clear cache. Make sure you have the appropriate permissions.

Answer 1

You can also user Artisan facade to clear cache in live server/production.

Artisan::call('cache:clear');

Answer 2

The user that executes php artisan cache:clear must have write permissions on the following directories and content recursively.

booststrap/cache/*
storage/*

To check files that user does not have write permission for

find booststrap/cache storage -not -perm -u=w

Finally fix permissions:

chmod -R u+w bootstrap/cache storage

Answer 3

I fixed this issue by deleting all files in bootstrap/cache. Then, run the following commands.

php artisan cache:clear

composer dump-autoload
