Laravel showing "Failed to clear cache. Make sure you have the appropriate permissions"

Laravel was displaying to me "Access denied for user 'homestead'@'localhost' (using password: YES)". One solution for this was clearing the cache and the config cache stored, all this with these three commands:

php artisan cache:clear
php artisan config:clear
php artisan config:cache

After php artisan cache:clear, terminal says:

Failed to clear cache. Make sure you have the appropriate permissions. (with red background)

Doing the second and third code (php artisan config:clear and php artisan config:cache) works fine! But it still gives me the error when typing the first line. Can anyone explain why?

You just need to UPDATE the cache folder owner:

First check the current user with: whoami // output: miratech

Second run sudo chown -R mirad:mirad storage/framework/cache/

Finally re-run php artisan cache:clear

This error:

Will be FIXED and you should see something similar to:

For my case, I have all the directory, but we have 2 users.

deployer
www-data

The cache path are created with www-data, but the deployer has no write access . So we need to give the access to the deployer user.

setfacl -R -m u:deployer:rwx /var/www/html

In my case, there is no cache available that's why the artisan is unable to delete or reset the cache.
First browse the website and allow it to create some cache then try to clear it.
You can check whether the cache is available or not in directory storage/framework/cache/*

Solution : update the permission :

get user name by this command : whoami
Run command if "data" folderexists in the cache directory.

sudo chown -R YourUSERName:YourUSERName storage/framework/cache/data/

In my case the problem was I had 'CACHE_DRIVER=memcached' in .env but didn't have memcached installed. Switching to the file driver or installing memcached fixed the problem for me.

(For MAC Users)

Sometimes, it means current user don't have sufficient permission to the storage/framework/cache/data/ folder. Run

sudo chmod -R ug+rwx storage/framework/cache/data/

then

php artisan cache:clear

Hope sometimes it work for you.

Calling the following 4 commands should fix most of the permission issues on laravel.

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

Basically, chown -R $USER:www-data what this does is it set current user $USER as owner and www-data as group and chmod -R 775 gives 7 to user,7 to group and 5 to other.

#PS: You need to run above command from the laravel project directory, else, you need to provide full path like /var/www/project_name/storage

You should update the permission using the below steps:

Check user using command "whoami" then let output is "ironman"
Run below command if "data" folder exists in the cache directory

sudo chown -R ironman:ironman storage/framework/cache/data/

This will resolve your below issue

My guess is you have a permission/ownership problem. Either set up the permissions correctly or recursively delete the cache folder manually and re-create it:

sudo rm -Rf storage/framework/cache
mkdir storage/framework/cache

Try deleting these cached files under bootstrap folder:

/bootstrap/cache/packages.php
/bootstrap/cache/services.php
/bootstrap/cache/config.php

Then run php artisan cache:clear

Had the same problem on my vagrant/homestead VM. All the other things in this thread didn't help.

The solution was vagrant reload --provision

First try:

Check if there is a "data" folder inside "storage/framework/cache/". If there is not, then create it manually. (create a new folder with name "data")

Option 2:

If there is a "data" folder inside "storage/framework/cache/". Remove ALL existing folders inside there.

Then final, running this:

php artisan cache:clear

This should fix this issue: "Failed to clear cache. Make sure you have the appropriate permissions."

Compiled views cleared!
Application cache cleared!
Route cache cleared!
Configuration cache cleared!
Compiled services and packages files removed!

I had the same problem but noticed if you run php artisan config:clear it also by default runs cache:clear right after it so when you run it again there is not cache in it and gives that error. you only need to run php artisan config:clear. I am not sure why cache:clear fails when its ran alone but running the config:clear is a good alternative.

Here is a helpful alias i use to clear everything in the app.

laraclear='php artisan config:cache && php artisan config:clear && php artisan view:clear && php artisan route:clear && php artisan telescope:clear && php artisan debugbar:clear'

Remove any unwanted commands that you do not use in it.

I ran my project in a docker container, then later tried accessing it via laragon, I had similar issue, this was due to compiled configurations in /bootstrap/cache/config.php.

I fixed fit by running php artisan config:clear, this deletes the /bootstrap/cache/config.php file automatically.

If the data directory doesn't exist under (storage/framework/cache/data), then you will have this error.

This data directory doesn't exist by default on a fresh/new installation.

Creating the data directory manually at (storage/framework/cache) should fix this issue.

You may need to clear the autoloader with composer dump-autoload

If that doesn't work you can manually remove the following non-tracked (usually) files to clear the autoloader and cache if they get jammed up:

/bootstrap/cache/packages.php

/bootstrap/cache/services.php
