Troubleshooting Images Not Displayed in Laravel Application on Production Server

Deploying a Laravel application can be a rewarding experience, but it might be frustrating when you encounter issues like images not displaying after uploading. This scenario often arises when the application is moved from a local environment to a production server. In this guide, we will delve into the steps to resolve the problem and ensure that your images appear as intended.

Understanding the Problem

When you’re developing a Laravel application locally, everything seems to function well, including image uploads. However, once the application is deployed on a live server, issues can arise. For instance, an error like the following might crop up:

This signals that the application can't find the images you're trying to display.

What to Expect

Here’s a brief overview of your current setup:

You upload images correctly to a "categories" folder in the storage.

Locally, images are displayed without problem.

On the production server, the storage link is set, but the appropriate folders are not visible under the public directory.

Solution Breakdown: Fixing the Image Display Issue

Step 1: Check Your Environment Variables

The first step in troubleshooting is to ensure that your environment configuration is set correctly, particularly the filesystem disk.

Open your .env file.

Look for the line that defines FILESYSTEM_DISK. It likely reads:

Change it to:

Step 2: Update Your Image Storage Logic

With the filesystem disk set to public, you need to amend your image upload logic accordingly.

Locate the section in your code where you store the image. Change the storage logic to specify the public disk, like this:

This adjustment tells Laravel to store images in the correct location that is accessible from the public directory.

Step 3: Create a Storage Link

To ensure that the files stored in the storage folder can be accessed publicly, you'll need to create a symbolic link. In your server, run the following command:

This command creates a link from the public/storage directory to the storage/app/public directory. If you still don’t see the images, verify the following:

Navigate to your public folder and check if the storage folder now contains the categories folder.

If it's still absent, ensure you have the necessary permissions set for Laravel to write files.

Step 4: Verify Image Path in Blade Views

Lastly, ensure that you are referencing the image correctly in your Blade template. Use the asset() helper as shown below:

This line serves as a standard way to link to the asset's URL.

Conclusion

By following the steps outlined in this post, you can resolve the issue of images not displaying in your Laravel application when deployed on a production server. Always remember to:

Verify your environment settings,

Use the correct storage path,

Maintain proper file permissions, and

Confirm your Blade syntax for displaying images.

With these adjustments, you should see your images displayed beautifully in your application. Don’t hesitate to reach out if you have more questions as you navigate your Laravel project!
