symlink(): No such file or directory

Question

In my laravel project i have put my files in storage directory. Some of my files i need to access from public folder inside storage directory i.e. storage/app/public/images

In my server i have put the laravel public folder inside public_html and other folders outside of public_html.

As for accessing storage file publicly i need to run the following command:

php artisan storage:link 

But when i run the above command in server i got following Error:

In Filesystem.php line 228: symlink(): No such file or directory

How to access public folder inside storage directory when laravel public folder inside public_html on server?

Answer 1

You changed the laravel default public folder to public_html. So you should first fix laravel public directory path and then run that artisan command. The solution to fix laravel public directory path is here : https://stackoverflow.com/a/30198781/4835268

Answer 2

Delete the storage folder and files and run the command

php artisan storage:link

Answer 3

The "public" folder may sometimes be missing from the storage/app directory. Create a public folder in the storage/app directory.
