This issue actually caused by different users who wants to write/read file but denied cause different ownership. maybe you as 'root' installed laravel before then you login into your site as 'laravel' user where 'laravel' the default ownership, so this is the actually real issue here. So when user 'laravel' want to read/write all file in disk as default, to be denied, cause that file has ownership by 'root'.

To solving this problem you can follow like this:

sudo chown -hR your-user-name /root /nameforlder

or in my case

sudo chown -hR igmcoid /root /sublaravel

Footnote:

root as name first ownership who installed before
your-user-name as the default ownership who actually write/read in site.
namefolder as name folder that want you change the ownership.

For googlers who has been facing this problem with Laravel 5    This is a permission issue caused by different users trying to write at the same log file within the storage logs folder with different permissions   What happens is your laravel config probably is setup to log errors daily and therefore your webserver  apache nginx  might create this file under a default user depending on your environment it can be something like  www on OSX or www-data on  NIX systems  then the issue comes when you might have run some artisan commands and got some errors  so the artisan will write this file but with a different user because PHP on terminal is executed by a different user actually your login user  you can check it out by running this command    php -i   grep USER   If your login user created that log file your webserver you will not be able to write errors in it and vice-versa because laravel writes log files with 655 permissions by default which only allows the owner to write in it   To fix this temporary you have to manually give permissions for the group  664 to this file so both your login user and webserver user can write to that log file   To avoid this issue permanently you may want to setup a proper permissions when a new file is create within the storage logs dir by inheriting the permissions from the directory this answer https   unix stackexchange com a 115632 can help you to tackle with that

As per Laravel 5 4 which is the latest as I am writing this  if you have any problem like this  you ned to change the permission   DO NOT LISTEN TO ANYONE WHO TELLS YOU TO SET 777 FOR ANY DIRECTORY  It has a security issue   Change the permission of storage folder like this  sudo chmod -R 775 storage   Change bootstrap folder permission like this  sudo chmod -R 775 bootstrap cache   Now please make sure that you re executing both commands from your application directory  You won t face problems in future regarding permission  775 doesn t compromise any security of your machine

While working on Windows 10 with Laragon and Laravel 4  it seemed to me there was no way to change the permissions manually  since executing chmod-commands in the Laragon-in-built-terminal had no effect   However  it was possible in this terminal to go to the storage folder and manually add the desired folders like this   cd app storage mkdir cache mkdir meta mkdir views mkdir sessions   The cd-command in the terminal brings you to the folder  you might need to adjust this path to suit your file structure   The mkdir-command will create the directory with the given name   I did not have the opportunity to test this approach in Laravel 5  but I expect that a similar approach should work    Of course there might be a better way  but at least this was a reasonable workaround for my situation  fixing the error  file put contents  var www html laravel app storage meta services json   failed to open stream

Setting permission to 777 is definitely terrible idea       but  If you are getting permission error connected with  storage  folder that s what worked for me      1  Set  storage  and its subfolders permission to 777 with   sudo chmod -R 777 storage        2  In browser go to laravel home page laravel public    laravel will create necessary initial storage files       3  Return safe 775 permission to storage and its subfolders  sudo chmod -R 775 storage

If anyone else runs into a similar issue with fopen file permissions error  but is wise enough not to blindly chmod 777 here is my suggestion   Check the command you are using for permissions that apache needs   fopen  filepath filename pdf    r      The  r  means open for read only  and if you aren t editing the file  this is what you should have it set as  This means apache www-data needs at least read permission on that file  which if the file is created through laravel it will have read permission already   If for any reason you have to write to the file   fopen  filepath filename pdf    r       Then make sure apache also has permissions to write to the file   http   php net manual en function fopen php

Suggestion from vsmoraes worked for me  Laravel  gt   5 4 php artisan cache clear  chmod -R 775 storage  composer dump-autoload  Laravel  lt  5 4 php artisan cache clear  chmod -R 775 app storage  composer dump-autoload  NOTE  DO NOT DO THIS ON ANY REMOTE SERVER  DEV OR PRODUCTION  When I asked this question  this was a problem on my localhost  running in a Virtual Machine  So I thought setting up a 777 was safe enough  however  folks are right when they say you should look for a different solution  Try 775 first

NEVER GIVE IT PERMISSION 777   go to the directory of the laravel project on your terminal and write   sudo chown -R your-user www-data  path to your laravel project  sudo find  same path  -type f -exec chmod 664       sudo find  same path  -type d -exec chmod 775       sudo chgrp -R www-data storage bootstrap cache sudo chmod -R ug rwx storage bootstrap cache   This way you re making your user the owner and giving privileges  1 Execute  2 Write  4 Read 1 2 4   7 means  rwx  2 4   6 means  rw  finally  for the storage access  ug rwx means you re giving the user and group a 7
