To stop you from the start, there is NO permission issue. /storage is recursively chmodded 777 and whole project folder is chowned by apache:apache

I even r

Answer 1

This worked for me, Laravel 5.4 and above

$ sudo chmod -R 755 storage/

$ sudo chown -R www-data storage/

$ sudo chgrp -R www-data storage/

$ php artisan cache:clear

$ php artisan config:cache

$ composer dumpautoload

Not all steps necessary.
