Uploaded laravel project files to production server and ran php artisan storage:link
command to create symlink to public/storage
from storage/app/public
folder and got message symlink created. But I forgot to delete the public storage folder from the local.
After uploading an image file, I could not access it and was getting 404 not found error exception. I then deleted the public/storage
folder and ran php artisan storage:link
again but got the message The "public/storage" directory already exists.
but it's not there and I am not able to access images uploaded in the storage/app/public/
folder.
How can I fix this?
