I can't deploy static content on my production site. Running command:

php bin/magento setup:static-content:deploy en_GB

Gives me following error:

[Magento\Framework\Exception\FileSystemException] Cannot read contents from file "magento2/http/pub/static/adminhtml/Magento/backend/en_US/Magento_ConfigurableProduct/product/product.css" Warning!file_get_contents(magento2/http/pub/static/adminhtml/Magento/backend/en_US/Magento_ConfigurableProduct/product/product.css): failed to open stream: No such file or directory

For some reason, when not specifying the locale, it went through fine.

What could be causing the problem?

UPDATE:

The file permission of the aforementioned file looks a bit weird? 

lrwxrwxrwx 1 xxx xxx 113 May 8 15:08 product.css -> magento2/http/vendor/magento/module-configurable-product/view/adminhtml/web/product/product.css

UPDATE 2:

Found out that this is a symlink that points to a file somewhere else on my server. These are the file permissions of the file where the symlink is pointing to:

-rw-r--r-- 1 xxx xxx 3863 May 7 06:35 product.css

Should I change these file permissions? If so, what would I changed them to to keep me site secure?

That caused by permission.

  1. You can upgrade and deploy again.

php bin/magento setup:upgrade php bin/magento setup:static-content:deploy en_GB

  1. if it still error, pls run command on root:

find app/code lib var generated vendor pub/static pub/media app/etc ( -type d -or -type f ) -exec chmod g+w {} + && chmod o+rwx app/etc/env.php

After that, repeat step 1.

  • it may downtime about some minutes when running command. You can put site with maintainance mode. Commented May 16, 2019 at 12:01
  • +1 from me, I'll wait for a bit, maybe someone will have a solution that will involve no downtime :) If not, I'll try your solution. Commented May 16, 2019 at 12:03

Found a solution by disabling the Symlinks.

Navigate to Stores -> Configuration -> Advanced -> Developer -> Template Settings and set “Allow Symlinks” to “No”.

Change Materialization Strategy in magento_root/app/etc/di.xml. Change this:

<virtualType name="developerMaterialization" type="Magento\Framework\App\View\Asset\MaterializationStrategy\Factory"> <arguments> <argument name="strategiesList" xsi:type="array"> <item name="view_preprocessed" xsi:type="object">Magento\Framework\App\View\Asset\MaterializationStrategy\Symlink</item> <item name="default" xsi:type="object">Magento\Framework\App\View\Asset\MaterializationStrategy\Copy</item> </argument> </arguments> </virtualType>

To:

<virtualType name="developerMaterialization" type="Magento\Framework\App\View\Asset\MaterializationStrategy\Factory"> <arguments> <argument name="strategiesList" xsi:type="array"> <item name="view_preprocessed" xsi:type="object">Magento\Framework\App\View\Asset\MaterializationStrategy\Copy</item> <item name="default" xsi:type="object">Magento\Framework\App\View\Asset\MaterializationStrategy\Copy</item> </argument> </arguments> </virtualType>

Then remove the static files, flush cache and deploy static content:

From magento_root (Be careful not to remove the .htaccess files):

  1. rm -rf pub/static/adminhtml pub/static/frontend && php bin/magento cache:clean && php bin/magento cache:flush

  2. php bin/magento setup:static-content:deploy

It seems like permission issue for pub/static

So just give necessary permission for pub/static then run your command and of course static content deploy will create a down time as well.

As of now run the below command in your root

chmod -R 755 pub/static/

or

chmod -R 777 pub/static/

EDIT :

Run the below command then deploy

rm -rf pub/static/adminhtml

Hope this helps.
