To resolve the "Permission denied" error when trying to write to the storage directory in your Laravel application, you need to ensure that the storage directory is writable by the web server user. Here’s how you can make the `shareyourthoughts` directory writable:
1. **Connect to your EC2 instance** using SSH:
ssh -i D:awsk.pem ubuntu@ec2-16-170-254-93.eu-north-1.compute.amazonaws.com
2. **Navigate to your Laravel project directory**:
cd /var/www/shareyourthoughts
3. **Change the permissions of the `storage` and `bootstrap/cache` directories** to ensure they are writable. You can use the following commands:
sudo chown -R www-data:www-data storage bootstrap/cache
sudo chmod -R 775 storage bootstrap/cache
– `www-data` is the default user and group for web servers like Apache and Nginx. If you are using a different web server user, replace `www-data` with that username.
4. **Verify the changes** by checking the permissions:
ls -ld storage bootstrap/cache
After running these commands, your `storage` and `bootstrap/cache` directories should be writable, and the error should be resolved. If you continue to experience issues, make sure that your web server has been restarted after making these changes.
