How to set file permissions for Laravel 5 on mac OSX:

Setting permissions

There are different approaches to it, but when working locally or on a development environment, i like it when my user shares ownership with Apache (the web server).

Execute the following command on terminal:

sudo chown -R $USER:_www /path/to/laravel/install

This command changes the owner / group to be your username and the web server.

Now, you need to give the correct folders the permissions they need, issue the follow commands:

sudo find /path/to/laravel/install -type f -exec chmod 664 {} \; 
sudo find /path/to/laravel/install -type d -exec chmod 775 {} \;

Setting web server files permission

Now, you need to make it so that the web server can write to the files/folders it needs to, such as the app/ and storage/folders. Issue the following commands:

cd /path/to/laravel/install
sudo chgrp -R _www storage bootstrap/cache
sudo chmod -R ug+rwx storage bootstrap/cache

For Windows Users

Create these directories if they don’t exist in laravel:

storage/framework/cache
storage/framework/sessions
storage/framework/views

Then

delete bootstrap/cache files

Test if it works, if not, try giving the correct permissions to the storage folder: chmod -R 775 storage/
