I currently have a Laravel 6.0 application that allows users to upload files to a server and saves them in the storage file system of laravel. This set up has been functioning smoothly in an older Laravel 5.6 project.
The link provided by the Controller looks like this:
domainame.com/public/file?folder=foldername&file=1569323440filename.png
Controller Logic
public function getFile($foldername, $filename)
{
$fullpath = "app/{$foldername}/{$filename}";
return response()->download(storage_path($fullpath), null, [], null);
}
public function getFilesubfolder($foldername, $subfolder, $filename)
{
$fullpath = "app/{$foldername}/{$subfolder}/{$filename}";
return response()->download(storage_path($fullpath), null, [], null);
}
View Section
{{ route('file.show' ,['folder' => 'empresas' , 'file' => $factura->archivo])}}
However, I am encountering a 404 error because the link being accessed does not exist. In my previous project, the link structure was different:
domainame.com/public/folder/file
To troubleshoot, I created a symlink to the storage system. Is there another configuration or setup step that I might be missing?
