I am currently running the laravel 4 development server using:
php artisan serve
Now when uploading a file into a folder, I guess it is not working, because the server has
no write permissions. How can I set write permissions on mac for artisan php serve?
For example on Linux I have apache apache as owner and group. What does artisan use. Thank you.
Well, the artisan serve command will run under the permissions of the currently logged in user. If you need to run it using any other user you'll have to tell your system:
sudo su - <loginname> php artisan serve
I'm not sure if you should run it as apache:
sudo su - www-data php artisan serve
or
sudo su - httpd php artisan serve
Because apache may not have the environment set to run php.
But you can simply run it as root:
sudo php artisan serve
And root has rights to write files pretty much everywhere in your system.
