Laravel 5: laravel.log could not be opened: Permission Denied

Question

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

Try those commands for laravel 5

$ php artisan cache:clear 

$ sudo chmod -R 777 app/storage 

$ composer.phar dump-autoload

This happens because laravel do not have the permissions to write to the log file, at least for my case.
