How to create symlink from public/storage to storage/app/public in laravel?

Question

I have no idea on how to create symbolic link or symlink.

I am working on File system in laravel 5.2.

The document says that i need to create a symbolic link from public/storage to storage/app/public to keep the publicly accessible files in one directory.

How to create that symlink or symbolic link?

Which file or directory should I place that code?

Answer 1

App::make('files')->link(storage_path('app/public'), public_path('storage'));

And don't forget to use App after namespace.

Answer 2

Run this command:

php artisan storage:link
