I have deployed my Laravel application on DigitalOcean (without any third party packge usage). The application is functioning fine, except for uploading of files by the users.
I have installed LEMP stack by following the guide of DevMarketer (YouTube playlist).
Scenario:
I want to upload the file and store in my public directory. But, doing so, I get the error as Permission Denied.
Here's the code of directory that will get created it if not exist:
$path = public_path() . '/email-attachments/';
if (! file_exists($path)) {
mkdir($path, 0775, true);
}
On SSHing on to the server as root, I ran the following command to check the permission of the files and folders:
root@host-pc:~# ls -la /var/www/laravel

I don't know what is the mistake that I am doing (I know it must be a silly one), but I couldn't find the solution yet.
Please help me out with this. Thanks.
If you change this
$path = public_path() . '/email-attachments/';
To this
$path = public_path('email-attachments/');
Hopefully, This will help you.
$path = base_path() . '/public/email-attachments';
mkdir($path, 0755, true);
