Why is Taskify unable to write logs to storage/logs?

Answer: Check that storage/logs is writable by the web server. Set proper permissions and ownership for the storage directory.

Permission Fix:

Set correct permissions for the storage directory:

chmod -R 775 storage/logs
chown -R www-data:www-data storage

Complete Storage Setup:

Ensure all storage directories are writable:

chmod -R 775 storage
chmod -R 775 bootstrap/cache
chown -R www-data:www-data storage
chown -R www-data:www-data bootstrap/cache

Verification:

Test if Laravel can write logs:

php artisan tinker
Log::info('Test log entry');

Then check if the log file was created in storage/logs/

Common Issues:

  • Incorrect file ownership
  • Missing write permissions
  • SELinux restrictions
  • Disk space issues
