After Deployment, Images not showing in Laravel

I created Common Helper for Image Upload & Common Trait Function for get Images Full URL from Storage & I tested it in Laravel's default inbuilt server it's 1005 perfectly works.

but after Deployment I can't Display Images. it's show 404 error to me

I shared my Common function of Get Full URL path of Image from storage.

app/Traits>HasProfilePhoto.php file

public function getProfilePhotoUrlAttribute()
{
    return $this->profile_photo_path
                ? Storage::disk($this->profilePhotoDisk())->url($this->profile_photo_path)
                : \URL::to('/').'/adminLTE/dist/img/user-img.png';
}

above function will returns Image's Full URL Path Like."test.com/storage/users/user.png"

using Laravel's Default Inbuilt server it returns Full URL like this. http://localhost:8000/storage/users/user.png & using that path image display perfectly

but after the deployment in local Windows using XAMPP Server, it returns Full URL like this. http://localhost/ProjectFolderName/storage/users/user.png & it's show 404 Not Found

NOTE:- If I use FULL Url like this:- http://localhost/ProjectFolderName/public/storage/users/user.png then image displayed

Please Help me what's my mistake there?

* **How I deployed my Laravel Project see below:- **

*

root/server.php file renamed with index.php

& root/public/.htaccess file copied at root directory

Maybe you just need to set your projects URL inside .env to start with http://

APP_URL=http://your-project-url

Without this, images will not have proper URL but when you copy image path and open it inside new tab, image will be available anyway.

Rename the server.php file to index.php is not good practice for security reasons as well. So if you need to hide the public path from the URL then create a .htaccess at root level:

<ifmodule mod_rewrite.c>

    <ifmodule mod_negotiation.c>
        Options -MultiViews
    </ifmodule>
 
    RewriteEngine On
 
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d [OR]
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f
    RewriteRule ^ ^$1 [N]

    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} (\.\w+$) [NC]
    RewriteRule ^(.*)$ public/$1 

    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
    RewriteRule ^ server.php

</ifmodule>

Actually Problem is about defining Virtual Host in Server... I was defined DocumentRoot path & Directory path as like "C:/xampp/htdocs/projectFolderName/ this.

I was identified my mistake in deployment from here medium's Blog

but as per Laravel Documentation , we need to direct all requests to public/index.php in other words Laravel's Public Folder is an Our Server's Root (public_html) folder that's why I need to define DocumentRoot & Directory up to public folder like this C:/xampp/htdocs/projectFolderName/public

  • We need to define our Laravel Web in Apache Server's Virtual Host Config.

for XAMPP Server

step 1: open C:\xampp\apache\conf\extra path location in XAMPP Server

step 2: Open httpd-vhosts.conf File

step 3: define virtual host rule as like below

<VirtualHost *:80>
  ServerName example.com
  ServerAlias www.example.com
  DocumentRoot "C:/xampp/htdocs/projectFolderName/public"
  <Directory "C:/xampp/htdocs/projectFolderName/public">
    Options +Indexes +Includes +FollowSymLinks +MultiViews
    AllowOverride All
    Require all granted
  </Directory>
</VirtualHost>

IF you faced any problem to define Virtual Host in XAMPP then you can see Full detailed answer about How to define Virtual Host in XAMPP

& If you Use WAMPP Server then you can see Full detailed answers about How to define Virtual Host in WAMPP
