File Permissions & Storage

Proper file permissions are critical for both security and functionality.

Laravel uses a symbolic link to make files in storage/app/public/ accessible via the web:

public/storage -> storage/app/public/

Create It​

php artisan storage:link

Verify It​

ls -la public/storage
# Should show: public/storage -> /var/www/feedbackpulse-saas/storage/app/public

What It Stores​

DirectoryContent
storage/app/public/logos/Tenant company logos
storage/app/public/products/Product images
storage/app/public/submissions/Uploaded photos from feedback
storage/app/public/avatars/User profile pictures
storage/app/public/landing/Landing page assets

Disk Space Management​

Monitor Disk Usage​

# Check overall disk usage
df -h

# Check FeedbackPulse storage usage
du -sh storage/app/public/
du -sh storage/logs/
du -sh storage/framework/cache/

Log Rotation​

Laravel logs can grow large. Set up log rotation:

sudo nano /etc/logrotate.d/feedbackpulse
/var/www/feedbackpulse-saas/storage/logs/*.log {
    daily
    missingok
    rotate 14
    compress
    delaycompress
    notifempty
    copytruncate
}

Clear Cache​

cd /var/www/feedbackpulse-saas

# Clear application cache
php artisan cache:clear

# Clear compiled views
php artisan view:clear

# Clear route cache
php artisan route:clear

# Clear config cache
php artisan config:clear

# All at once
php artisan optimize:clear
