Storage images not found

I have a Laravel 5.6 application which runs on a server that hosts several php 5.6 applications with cakephp, I added some configuration for it to serve the Laravel 5.6 one with PHP 7.1 and it is working now, however, the symlink from storage is not working. I've searched about this and have tried several solutions, none of them worked.

 'disks' => [

    'local' => [
        'driver' => 'local',
        'root' => storage_path('app/public'),
        'visibility' => 'public',
    ],

    'public' => [
        'driver' => 'local',
        'root' => storage_path('app/public'),
        'url' => env('APP_URL').'/storage',
        'visibility' => 'public',
    ],
],

This being my config/filesystems symlink showing on cbash with > ls -n public/storage

I tried removing the symlink and creating it with the command

php artisan storage:link

as well as creating it with

ln -s storage/app/public public/storage/app/public

but haven't been succesful. What could possibly be wrong? If I go and check an image in public/img it works https://inversionistas.grupoidesa.com/img/avatar.png but the storage link doesn't, I've tried several times with different configurations and urls like

https://inversionistas.grupoidesa.com/storage/comp.pdf
https://inversionistas.grupoidesa.com/storage/app/public/comp.pdf
https://inversionistas.grupoidesa.com/public/comp.pdf

etc but none has worked.

Thanks in advance

Yes, the file exists

These are the permitions of the folder, the permision were given with chmod recursively

You need to make web server follow symbolic links For apache web server add 

<VirtualHost *:80>
...
<Directory />
Options FollowSymLinks
.... 
</Directory>
....
</VirtualHost>
