Making writing files to folders accessible

change the owner of the project directory to www-data using the following command:

sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/path/to/your/project/

Change directory ownership

ever set a directory to 777. you should change directory ownership. so set your current user that you are logged in with as owner and the webserver user (www-data, apache, …) as the group. You can try this:

sudo chown -R $USER:www-data storage

chmod -R 775 storage
chmod -R 775 bootstrap/cache
