Steps to Resolve Permission Issues
Connect to Your EC2 Instance via SSH
First, connect to your EC2 instance using SSH:
ssh -i /path/to/your-key.pem ubuntu@your-ec2-instance-public-dns
Change Ownership of the storage and bootstrap/cache Directories
Change the ownership of the storage and bootstrap/cache directories to the web server user (www-data for Ubuntu):
sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/html/storage /var/www/html/bootstrap/cache
Set Correct Permissions
Set the correct permissions to ensure the web server can write to these directories:
sudo chmod -R 775 /var/www/html/storage /var/www/html/bootstrap/cache
Verify Permissions
Verify the permissions and ownership to ensure they are set correctly:
ls -ld /var/www/html/storage
ls -ld /var/www/html/storage/logs
ls -ld /var/www/html/bootstrap/cache
The output should show that the directories are owned by www-data and have the correct permissions.
Example of Running the Commands in Sequence
# Connect to your EC2 instance
ssh -i /path/to/your-key.pem ubuntu@your-ec2-instance-public-dns
# Change ownership to www-data
sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/html/storage /var/www/html/bootstrap/cache
# Set permissions to 775
sudo chmod -R 775 /var/www/html/storage /var/www/html/bootstrap/cache
# Verify permissions
ls -ld /var/www/html/storage
ls -ld /var/www/html/storage/logs
ls -ld /var/www/html/bootstrap/cache
Troubleshooting
Check Apache Error Logs: If you still encounter issues, check the Apache error logs for more details:
sudo tail -f /var/log/apache2/error.log
Check Laravel Logs: You can also check the Laravel logs in the storage/logs directory for more information on what might be causing the issue.
