Laravel 4: Failed to open stream: Permission denied

Question

I\'m having problem in setting up Laravel 4. I\'m having this error when opening the index page:

file_put_contents(/Users/laravel/app/storage/meta/ser

Answer 1

If you are using Apache on Ubuntu, storage and bootstrap/cache folders need to be writable by web server user.

sudo chgrp -R www-data storage bootstrap/cache
sudo chmod -R ug+rwx storage bootstrap/cache

This will allow write permissions to these folders for web server users.
