Error Failed to open stream Permission denied in Laravel

Question

I'm having problem in setting up Laravel. I'm having this error when opening the index page:

file_put_contents(/Users/laravel/app/storage/meta/services.json) [function.file-put-contents]:
failed to open stream: Permission denied.

What am I missing here?

Hii @kartik,

To solve permissions issue on Laravel, I have done this (with root user):

cd app/

chown -R www-data:www-data storage

cd storage/

find . -type d -exec chmod 775 {} \; && find . -type f -exec chmod 664 {} \;

And always in app/storage directory :

chown your_user:user_group .gitignore cache/.gitignore logs/.gitignore meta/.gitignore sessions/.gitignore views/.gitignore

Now, exit the root user, and it's ok.

Hope this works!!

Thank You!

I had this problem lately with my tests, and resolved it through: composer dump-autoload
