Laravel 5.3 local storage path

Question

I have Laravel 5.3 with local filesystem. The APP_URL in my .env is:

http://localhost/myapp

I linked the storage to public

php artisan storage:link

I have an image in:

myapp/storage/app/public/defaults/test/file.png

In the database the path is saved like this:

public/defaults/test/file.png

So in my blade.php I try to access the image

<img src="{{ Storage::url($user->test)}}" width="" alt="">

But the image isn't showing and the URL of the image is:

http://localhost/storage/defaults/test/file.png

so why it's ignoring the app_url? and even if i change the link to this:

http://localhost/myapp/storage/defaults/test/file.png

the image isn't showing up.

How can I access the Image in my myapp/storage/app/public/defaults/test/file.png with Storage::url?

if you want to access file in your storage folder you need to create route for that link

Route::get('storage/defaults/test/{filename}', function ($filename) { $imagePath = storage_path() . '/defaults/test/' . $filename; if(!File::exists($imagePath)) { //Not have file do something here }; $file = File::get($imagePath); $type = File::mimeType($path); $response = Response::make($file, 200); $response->header("Content-Type", $type); return $response; });

now you can access by your link

You have another way such as keep your image in [your project]/public/images/ in this way you can access your image by http://localhost/images/file.png (no need to create route)

But I suggest your create a new folder in you server example /data/images and set vhost in apache for allow the path

Alias /images /var/www/data/images <Directory /var/www/data/images> IndexOptions FancyIndexing FoldersFirst Options MultiViews Indexes AllowOverride None Order allow,deny Allow from all </Directory>

Hope this help

Try this:

1) Fire php artisan storage:link command, if you haven't already

2) In database, store path relative to the root/public directory with prefix storage.

So if you have image at root/public/defaults/test/file.png, then in the database, store this path: storage/defaults/test/file.png

3) And finally in the view, display it like:

<img src="{{ asset($user->test )}}" width="" alt="">

Make sure $user->test has value storage/defaults/test/file.png

OR

3) If you don't want to store storage prefix into the database, then store path like:

defaults/test/file.png

and in view:

<img src="{{ asset('storage/' . $user->test )}}" width="" alt="">

Note: Tested with Laravel 5.4, but pretty sure that it will work for Laravel 5.3 as well.

Here is a complete demo that I have created which illustrates image uploading and displaying:

https://github.com/xparthx/laravel5.4-image-upload

I linked storage and in my DB is: storage/defaults/test/file.png the physical file is here: root/storage/app/public/defaults/test/file.png and I show the image like <img src="{{ asset($user->test )}}" width="" alt=""> everything good. But if I upload a new file with: 'image' => $r->image->store('storage/defaults/test') - the DB is correct, but the file is saved here: root/storage/app/storage/defaults/test/file.png so the image dosn't showing up because it's in the wrong folder. How can I change the upload path but not the db path? Or why it's wrong?
Try to upload like this: 'image' => $r->image->store('defaults/test')
