Php – “The stream or file “laravel.log” could not be opened: failed to open stream: Permission denied”

Try adjusting the directory permissions.

from a terminal, run chmod 777 database (from the directory that contains the database folder)

apache and nobody will have access to this directory if it is chmodd'ed correctly.

The other thing to do is echo "getcwd()". This will show you the current directory, and if this isn't '/something.../database/' then you'll need to change 'query.txt' to the full path for your server.

This is because images and tmp_file_upload are only writable by root user. For upload to work we need to make the owner of those folders same as httpd process owner OR make them globally writable (bad practice).

1. Check apache process owner: $ps aux | grep httpd. The first column will be the owner typically it will be nobody

2. Change the owner of images and tmp_file_upload to be become nobody or whatever the owner you found in step 1.

   $sudo chown nobody /var/www/html/mysite/images/
   
   $sudo chown nobody /var/www/html/mysite/tmp_file_upload/
   

3. Chmod images and tmp_file_upload now to be writable by the owner, if needed [Seems you already have this in place]. Mentioned in @Dmitry Teplyakov answer.

   $ sudo chmod -R 0755 /var/www/html/mysite/images/
   
   $ sudo chmod -R 0755 /var/www/html/mysite/tmp_file_upload/
   

4. For more details why this behavior happend, check the manual http://php.net/manual/en/ini.core.php#ini.upload-tmp-dir , note that it also talking about open_basedir directive.
