Please provide a valid cache path

Question

I duplicated a working laravel app and renamed it to use for another app. I deleted the vendor folder and run the following commands again:

composer self-up         


        

Answer 1

Please run in terminal,

   sudo mkdir storage/framework
   sudo mkdir storage/framework/sessions
   sudo mkdir storage/framework/views
   sudo mkdir storage/framework/cache
   sudo mkdir storage/framework/cache/data

Now you have to change permission,

   sudo chmod -R 777 storage

Answer 2

Try the following:

create these folders under storage/framework:

• sessions
• views
• cache

Now it should work

Answer 3

Ensure the below folders in storage directory:

• logs
• framework
• framework/cache
• framework/cache/data
• framework/sessions
• framework/testing
• framework/views

Below is a command-line snippet that does for you

cd storage
mkdir logs
mkdir framework
mkdir framework/cache && framework/cache/data
mkdir framework/sessions
mkdir framework/testing
mkdir framework/views
chgrp -R www-data ../storage
chown -R www-data ../storage

Answer 4

Error :'Please provide a valid cache path.' error.

If these type error comes then the solution given below :-

please create data folder inside storage/framework/cache

Answer 5

May be the storage folder doesn't have the app and framework folder and necessary permission. Inside framework folder it contains cache, sessions, testing and views. use following command this will works.

Use command line to go to your project root: 
cd {your_project_root_directory}
Now copy past this command as it is: 
cd storage && mkdir app && cd app && mkdir public && cd ../ && mkdir framework && cd framework && mkdir cache && mkdir sessions && mkdir testing && mkdir views && cd ../../ && sudo chmod -R 777 storage/

I hope this will solve your use.

Answer 6

You need to create folders inside "framework". Please Follow these steps:

cd storage/
mkdir -p framework/{sessions,views,cache}

You also need to set permissions to allow Laravel to write data in this directory.

chmod -R 775 framework
chown -R www-data:www-data framework
