'Images not showing up in laravel

So I have images working on my dev environment, however when i try to see them on the production server I receive a 404 error, the images are located in storage/app/public folder, I have ran the following command:

php artisan storage:link

The output says it works however it is still a 404 error when navigating to /storage/imagefolder/image on the site

laravel


Solution 1:[1]

Technically images are accessible through the public folder, not the storage folder.

In your Code you can access them like:

<img src="{{ asset('imagefolder/image') }}" />

You can find the correct/final image url with:

dd(asset('imagefolder/image'));

Solution 2:[2]

First delete the old symlink

Then from the command:

php artisan storage: link

And to display files: ?

<img src="{{ asset('imagefolder/fileName') }}" />

or

<img src="{{ /storage/imagefolder/fileName }}" />

Solution 3:[3]

File permission error on the existing link to storage from the public folder, deleting the link and re running the command fixed the issue.
