My 2 cents  Remove everything inside storage and then do this    gt  cd storage   gt  mkdir -p framework  sessions views cache   gt  chmod -R 777 framework     This last line depends on your user group settings so     it may not be applicable to you   gt  chown -R www-data www-data framework    Worked for me

The cause of this error can be traced from Illuminate View Compilers Compiler php  public function   construct Filesystem  files   cachePath        if     cachePath            throw new InvalidArgumentException  Please provide a valid cache path                 this- gt files    files       this- gt cachePath    cachePath      The constructor is invoked by BladeCompiler in Illuminate View ViewServiceProvider         Register the Blade engine implementation         param   Illuminate View Engines EngineResolver   resolver     return void     public function registerBladeEngine  resolver           The Compiler engine requires an instance of the CompilerInterface  which in        this case will be the Blade compiler  so we ll first create the compiler        instance to pass into the engine so it can compile the views properly       this- gt app- gt singleton  blade compiler   function              return new BladeCompiler               this- gt app  files     this- gt app  config    view compiled                            resolver- gt register  blade   function              return new CompilerEngine  this- gt app  blade compiler                 So  tracing back further  the following code    this- gt app  config    view compiled     is generally located in your  config view php  if you use the standard laravel structure    lt  php return               --------------------------------------------------------------------------       View Storage Paths      --------------------------------------------------------------------------             Most templating systems load templates from disk  Here you may specify       an array of paths that should be checked for your views  Of course       the usual Laravel view path has already been registered for you                    paths    gt            resource path  views                       --------------------------------------------------------------------------       Compiled View Path      --------------------------------------------------------------------------             This option determines where all the compiled Blade templates will be       stored for your application  Typically  this is within the storage       directory  However  as usual  you are free to change this value                    compiled    gt  realpath storage path  framework views          realpath      returns false  if the path does not exist  Thus  invoking    Please provide a valid cache path   error    Therefore  to get rid of this error  what you can do is to ensure that  storage path  framework views     or   storage framework views   exists

Ensure the below folders in storage directory   logs framework framework cache framework cache data framework sessions framework testing framework views  Below is a command-line snippet that does for you cd storage mkdir logs mkdir framework mkdir framework cache  amp  amp  framework cache data mkdir framework sessions mkdir framework testing mkdir framework views chgrp -R www-data    storage chown -R www-data    storage

May be the storage folder doesn t have the app and framework folder and necessary permission  Inside framework folder it contains cache  sessions  testing and views  use following command this will works  Use command line to go to your project root   cd  your project root directory  Now copy past this command as it is   cd storage  amp  amp  mkdir app  amp  amp  cd app  amp  amp  mkdir public  amp  amp  cd      amp  amp  mkdir framework  amp  amp  cd framework  amp  amp  mkdir cache  amp  amp  mkdir sessions  amp  amp  mkdir testing  amp  amp  mkdir views  amp  amp  cd         amp  amp  sudo chmod -R 777 storage   I hope this will solve your use

Issue on my side while deploying on localhost   there was views folder missing   so if you have don t have the framework folder the you  ll need to add folders  but if already framework folder exist then make sure all above folders i e  1  cache   2  session  3  views  exists in your framework directory

I solved the problem when I created framework folder inside storage folder and its subfolders sessions  views and cache   Go to your cmd or terminal then type your project root path and after that type the following   cd storage mkdir framework cd framework mkdir sessions mkdir views mkdir cache   Go to your project root path back again and run composer update  After that artisan works perfectly

User · Answer

Please run in terminal       sudo mkdir storage framework    sudo mkdir storage framework sessions    sudo mkdir storage framework views    sudo mkdir storage framework cache    sudo mkdir storage framework cache data   Now you have to change permission      sudo chmod -R 777 storage

Your storage directory may be missing  or one of its sub-directories  The storage directory must have all the sub-directories that shipped with the Laravel installation

I also had a similar case after copying a project on a production server  The public folder was accessed by Apache via a symbolic link  For Apache or the PHP service  the path to the project has not changed  thus they used cached file paths that lead to the old project repository  Restarting Apache and PHP service resolved the issue

You need to create folders inside  framework   Please Follow these steps   cd storage  mkdir -p framework  sessions views cache    You also need to set permissions to allow Laravel to write data in this directory   chmod -R 775 framework chown -R www-data www-data framework
