I'm running the following script for an image upload in a server and getting the following error while it works perfectly on the localhost.

Code

$user_id = Auth::id();

$logicpath = 'userdp/' . $user_id . '/';

$pubpath = 'userdp/' . $user_id . '/' . $dpFile;

$path = '/userdp/' . $user_id . '/' . $dpFile;



if (!file_exists($logicpath)) {

     mkdir($logicpath, 0777, true);

}

Error

ErrorException in UploadController.php line 605: mkdir(): Permission

I tried chmod 777 public and restarted the server. But it didn't work.

You have to perform chmod recursively to make sure all subdirectories also carry the same permissions. Try running this instead:

chmod -R 777 

Now while this will fix your issue, you should definitely read up on the problems that arise with setting the above permissions as this link posted in comments below shows. Ill post here as well:

You are trying to move the uploaded file a folder in the root of your server. Make sure you get the absolute path right.

$logicpath = public_path() . '/userdp/' . $user_id . '/';

Try:

sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/yoursite/public

I tried chmod 777 public and restarted the server. But it didn't work.

Be sure you use the CHMOD recursively and with administrator permissions (if you can)

SUDO CHMOD -R 777 /var/www/html/laravel/

I have found a very interesting solution to this problem. Just put "." sign like this example. It works for me.

$destinationPath = "./public/uploads"; // upload path

    if (!file_exists($destinationPath)) {

      mkdir($destinationPath, 0755, true);

    }

    $request->sub_category_attr_value->move($destinationPath, $picName);

Same error for the command

composer create-project --prefer-dist laravel/laravel MyProject

But it worked after the following commands

sudo mkdir MyProject



sudo chmod -R 777 MyProject

Or better run composer create-project command to some different path than htdocs
