[php] Laravel 5 show ErrorException file_put_contents failed to open stream: No such file or directory

I have a project on Laravel 5 and I work with it at the office and at home too. It works fine, but recently at home it stopped working. Laravel show me two ErrorException

file_put_contents(G:\project\storage\framework\views/751d8a0fd8a7d4138c09ceb6a34bb377aa2d6265.php):
failed to open stream: No such file or directory

and

file_put_contents(G:\project\storage\framework/sessions/aIXycR4LIAUBVIqZu0T590paOMIpV8vfZGIroEp0):
failed to open stream: No such file or directory

I'm searching problem decision with Google and find information about correct rights. All advice is about Linux, but I'am work in Windows at the office and at home too.

When I try to clear application cache and view cache, artisan talk to me - ...cleared. But cache data and views are present in storage.

How can I fix this problem?

Thanks in advance!

Apache + WSL on windows

This is a silly mistake, and a different answer compared to the others, but I'll add it because it happened to me.

If you use WSL (linux bash on windows) to manage your laravel application, while using your windows apache to run your server, then running any caching commands in the wsl will store the linux path rather than the windows path to the sessions and other folders.

Solution

Simply run the cache clearing commands in the powershell, rather than in WSL.

$ php artisan optimize

Was enough for me.

If nothing work try the following in the production environment

1-

composer install --optimize-autoloader --no-dev

2-

php artisan cache:clear

3-

php artisan config:clear

4-

php artisan view:clear

5-

php artisan config:cache

6-

php artisan route:cache

Works for me

This type of issue generally occurs while migrating one server to another, one folder to another. Laravel keeps the cache and configuration (file name ) when the folder is different then this problem occurs.

Solution Run Following command:

php artisan config:cache

https://laravel.com/docs/5.6/configuration#configuration-caching

I solved this problem via creating storage\framework\sessions folder.

In my case it was not anything that could be fixed with php artisan commands. The issue was folder permissions for the /storage folder. The error did not make that clear.

In case of shared hosting when you do not have command line access simply navigate to laravel/bootstrap/cache folder and delete (or rename) config.php and you are all done!

If you are running laravel inside docker then access its filesystem

$ docker exec -it name-of-laravel-container /bin/bash

Next navigate to your laravel projects root directory. Make sure that you have inside storage/framework folder:

1. cache
2. sessions
3. testing
4. views

And they should be both readable and writable.

I deleted the file /public_html/bootstrap/cache/config.php

then I ran php artisan config:cache

This worked for me

I had similar problems because of .gitignore for the /storage folder on first machine, then cloned repository on second machine and laravel was revision to write down sessions cache

So, manually creating folder /storage/sessions might be an solution..

This did the magic for me. chmod -Rf 0777 storage

Maybe there is an issue with your composer file. You could try:

• composer install installs the vendor packages according to composer.lock (or creates composer.lock if not present),

• composer update always regenerates composer.lock and installs the lastest versions of available packages based on composer.json

• composer dump-autoload won’t download a thing. It just regenerates the list of all classes that need to be included in the project (autoload_classmap.php). Ideal for when you have a new class inside your project. Ideally, you execute composer dump-autoload -o , for a faster load of your webpages. The only reason it is not default, is because it takes a bit longer to generate (but is only slightly noticeable)

source

I used Laravel 8, This is my solution

Goto: storage/framework/cache/data
set permission directory data is 777

It's worked for me

Try with these commands that have been useful with those errors

path\project\storage\framework\views...

php artisan view:clear

path\project\storage\framework/sessions...

php artisan config:cache

changing name of /bootstrap/cache/config.php to config.php.old doesn't work for me neither clearing cache with the commands artisan

1. php artisan config:clear
2. php artisan cache:clear
3. php artisan config:cache

And for some weird reason I can't change permission for the owner on the directories, so my solution was running my IDE (Visual Studio Code) as admin, and everything works.

My project is in an F:/ path of another disk.

The best way to solve this problem is, go to directory laravel/bootstrap/cache and delete all files from cache.

To do this, run the following Artisan commands on your command line
1. php artisan config:clear
2. php artisan cache:clear
3. php artisan config:cache

In your panel or server, you can execute commands by adding the following to your routes:

    Route::get('/clear-cache', function() {
        $run = Artisan::call('config:clear');
        $run = Artisan::call('cache:clear');
        $run = Artisan::call('config:cache');
        return 'FINISHED';  
    });

And then call the www.yourdomain.com/clear-cache route from your browser.

Clearing the contents of storage/framework/cache did the trick for me. Nothing else worked...

The reason for this problem is the cache files in localhost. According to that I've tried several things as follows to clear the cache on my project, but every time I've failed.

• Tried to clear cahe commands by changing web.php file (with artisan codes)
• Tried to clear cache by connecting SSH (via PUTTY)
• Tried to host my project in Sub domain within create a new Public directory

So I've found a solution for this problem after each and every above steps failed and it worked for me perfectly. I deleted the cache.php file in host_route/bootstrap/cache directory.

I think this answer will help your problem.

You should typically run the php artisan config:cache command as part of your production deployment routine. As a solution to your problem, I suggest you recreate the cache file, for faster configuration loading.

To do this, run the following Artisan commands on your command line

• php artisan cache:clear
• php artisan config:cache

You can programmatically execute the command by adding the following to your routes:

Route::get('/clear-cache', function() {
    $exitCode = Artisan::call('cache:clear');
    $exitCode = Artisan::call('config:cache');
    return 'DONE'; //Return anything
});

And then call the clear-cache route from your browser.

I hope this is helpful.

The best way to solve this problem is, go to directory laravel/bootstrap/cache and delete config.php file. or you can rename it as well like config.php.old And your problem will be fix. Happy coding :-)

Actually I faced this issue when I moved my project from server to local.

in

storage/framework

four basic folders are required cache, sessions, testing, views

In My case sessions was missing might be in gitignore.

So I manually created session folder and refreshed browser and it was working.

So any of the missing folder if we delete this problem can be solved.

the solution that worked for me is to just serve the app as admin if you are

1. on mac or linux use sudo php artisan serve
2. on windows try to open CMD as an adminstrator and then go to project directory and run php artisan serve
