I have a file stored in storage directory in Laravel 7. The sub directory is storage/app/public/personnel-docs/nameofile.ext.
I have done php artisan storage:link and therefore, on my local which is a windows 10 machine I can access it by the following url
http://127.0.0.1:8000/storage/personnel-docs/nameofthefile.ext
But where it is hosted on a LIVE linux server, when I try the same url as follo
http://theliveurl/storage/personnel-docs/nameofthefile.ext It returns a 404 Not found response.
I have also run php artisan storage:link on the server and the problem persists.
I have checked and confirmed that the file is present on the folder but it just does not return/display as expected.
I will appreciate any effort to resolve this.
Thank you
