Why am I getting permission denied errors on the vendor folder after deployment?

Answer: This occurs if the web server user (www-data or nginx) does not have the correct permissions. Run the following commands to fix this issue.

Solution:

Set the correct ownership and permissions for your Taskify installation:

chown -R www-data:www-data /path/to/taskify
chmod -R 755 /path/to/taskify

Adjust the user and group as per your server environment (nginx, apache, etc.).

Common Server Users:

• Apache: www-data (Ubuntu/Debian)
• Nginx: nginx or www-data
• CentOS/RHEL: apache

Step-by-Step Fix:

1. Identify your web server user:

   ps aux | grep -E "(apache|nginx|httpd)"

2. Set ownership:

   sudo chown -R [web-server-user]:[web-server-group] /path/to/taskify

3. Set permissions:

   sudo chmod -R 755 /path/to/taskify

4. Make storage writable:

   sudo chmod -R 775 /path/to/taskify/storage
   sudo chmod -R 775 /path/to/taskify/bootstrap/cache

Prevention:

Always run these commands after deployment to ensure proper permissions are set.
