When launch Laravel and point the browser to localhost/laravel-master/, it just displays the content of the directory.
Refering to installation guide http://laravel.com/docs/installation I will quote this part
Permissions Laravel may require one set of permissions to be configured: folders within app/storage require write access by the web server.
How can i set permission for web server to access folders within app/storage as write ?
I tried to run from command line C:\wamp\www\laravel-master\public>chmod -R 777 storage but got the error 'chmod' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.
First off by the C: I'm guessing you are running windows. The command you tried is for Linux. That's why that didnt work try this link to solve your issue windows suport
