How to fix Error: laravel.log could not be opened?

Question

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.

Answer 1

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)'
