I have a problem reading the url of the file saved to Storage/app/uploads/images/ on goDaddy shared host.
in .env, I configure the APP_URL = www.piggystore.com/server/storage
in a filesystem.php, after running php artisan storage:link When I upload, the image is stored in Storage/app/uploads/images but to retrieve it is the problem. I have configured public_path, by changing it in filesystem.php but it is not working as well. What am I getting wrong.
.env file
'disks' => [
'local' => [
'driver' => 'local',
'root' => storage_path('app'),
],
'public' => [
'driver' => 'local',
'root' => storage_path('app/public'),
'url' => env('APP_URL').'/storage',
'visibility' => 'public',
],
's3' => [
'driver' => 's3',
'key' => env('AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID'),
'secret' => env('AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY'),
'region' => env('AWS_DEFAULT_REGION'),
'bucket' => env('AWS_BUCKET'),
'url' => env('AWS_URL'),
],
],
];
Saving files in the path
$saveme = storage_path('app/uploads/images/'.$exportName);
$background->save($saveme);
$imag->image = $exportName;
$imag->textwrap = "dev";
$imag->imageOption = $option;
$imag->save();
if (empty($imag)){
return response()->json([
'success' => false,
'message' => 'There was a problem creating the postcard!'
], 201);
}
return response()->json([
'success' => true,
'data' => storage_path('app/uploads/images/'.$exportName),
'message' => 'Postcard created successfully!'
]);
}
All I want is to www.piggystore.com/uploads/images/filename.extension which will display in the browser
Thanks in advance
