laravel -- php -- more basic questions.. pt. #2

Hi

As some of the list may know I'm trying to test a github repos
("https://github.com/thedevdojo/wave").

The goal is to have a digitalocean/instance, running Ubuntu/Apache2,
to display the same basic app as in the "https://wave.devdojo.com/"
demo site.

The app requires php/laravel/composer/mysql/apache2 to run.

I have Laravel -- "composer update" issues in terms or user
owner/group Owner - permissions settings. Not exactly sure what the
settings should be for a given dir/file.


Doing a trial/error process with checking out different sites.

I set permissions to top level of dirs to 755
/var/www/html/wave
/var/www/html/wave/wave

set 755 -R
/var/www/html/wave/wave/storage
/var/www/html/wave/wave/bootstrap

user:group  -R www-data, www-data
/var/www/html/wave

inside func link tt /var/www/html/wave/wave/storage/app/public

set 755 -R --test..??
/var/www/html/wave/wave/public/storage
chmod -R 755 /var/www/html/wave/wave/public/storage

I have the users:
 root
 testuser

 the "testuser" is the user used to run the laravel "composer update" cmds...

I'm presently getting an error:
 from "composer update"

> @php artisan storage:link

   ErrorException

in checking out the Filesystem.php
    337▕     public function link($target, $link)
    338▕     {
    339▕         if (! windows_os()) {
  ➜ 340▕             return symlink($target, $link);
    341▕         }
    342▕


did a quick test of the Filesystem.php to see exactly what
"target/link" dirs are, to try to
 better understand what might be the issues..

inside func link tt--  /var/www/html/wave/wave/wave/docs
ll target -- /var/www/html/wave/wave/public/wave/docs

so the "target" is basically the -->"/var/www/html/wave/wave/public" tree

 tested creating a --
root@ubuntu-s-1vcpu-2gb-nyc1-01:/var/www/html/wave/wave# mkdir
/var/www/html/wave/wave/public/storage   "added storage.."
root@ubuntu-s-1vcpu-2gb-nyc1-01:/var/www/html/wave/wave# chown
www-data:www-data -R /var/www/html/wave/wave/public/storage
root@ubuntu-s-1vcpu-2gb-nyc1-01:/var/www/html/wave/wave# chmod -R 775
/var/www/html/wave/wave/public/storage

running the "composre update" now gives err

   ERROR  The [public/storage] link already exists.

inside func link tt /var/www/html/wave/wave/wave/docs
ll /var/www/html/wave/wave/public/wave/docs

   ErrorException

  symlink(): Permission denied


which says that "creating" a test "public/storage" dir with the chmod
-R 775, chown -R www-data:www-data isn't the solution!

so.. I'm not exactly sure what's the basic issue...

Once I/the test gets through setting up/running the laravel/composer
cmds, I'll do the migrate/db stuff.. and hopefully up will pop a test
page!


I'm at a complete/current loss as to what's causing the expected
user/permission errors....

If anyone has any thoughts/pointers, I'm more than willing to try them.

If someone is really bored and wants to ump on the cloud/instance, I
can easily give you access!

Given this is a cheap instance, it can be blown away/reinstalled in a
few minutes!

thanks
