Framework: file_put_contents(.../storage/framework/cache/data/): failed to open stream: No such file or directory

[Tarasovych]

• Laravel Version: 5.6
• PHP Version: 7.1
• Database Driver & Version: MySQL 5.7.23

Description:

I got an error

file_put_contents(.../storage/framework/cache/data///): failed to open stream: No such file or directory

<some_cache_index> is always the same.
I have CACHE_DRIVER=file inside .env.
Error occurs on certain cross-domain request which fetches some data from database.

What I tried so far: php artisan cache:clear, didn't helped. storage/framework/cache/data/ is empty, but why framework ask that file each time? How can I make framework to forgot that file?

If you take a look at your cache.php config file you'll see that for the file driver the storage/framework/cache/data folder is set for writing:

'file' => [
    'driver' => 'file',
    'path' => storage_path('framework/cache/data'),
],

That means that the permissions for that folder must be properly set so that the web server user can successfully write to that folder.

@X-Coder264 Thank you! I've also tried
sudo chown -R $USER:www-data storage/*, sudo chown -R $USER storage/* - no success.

[Tarasovych]

I guess, chmod -R 775 storage solved my problem.

I had a similar issue on Windows Server 2012, SQL Server 2012, Laravel 5.5, PHP 7.2.10 and IIS 6.2 (Build 9200) and I solved it by doing the following:

• Stop IIS
• Moving all contents of my Laravel application folder to a new folder, except for the storage folder.
• Copy all content inside the storage directory, except for the frameworks directory.
• Manually created the cache, sessions, testing and views directory, which are the four default directories inside of the framework directory.

I have decided to do that because I was deleting the storage/framework/cache directory and the files were back as if I had never deleted them in the first place. Also, the main reason for doing all of this was because if my users were logging in with a wrong password, they would get the error mentioned in the title of this thread.

I hope this helps someone someday.

php artisan config:cache solved my issue.

[JavierSolis]

in my case it worked to delete the bootstrap/cache/config.php file.

In my case the problem was that he data folder inside storage/framework belonged to root instead of the correct user. chown -R <user: group> data did the trick.

Replace <user: group> with your own user and group. "<>" symbols are not supposed to be there.

[KAndrew340]

go to /bootstrap/app.php
edit your app.php file and see that the storage directory is not hardcoded to the path /storage/framework/cache/data/

mine looked something like this: $app->useStoragePath('../../../logs/Reports' );

I tried everything written above, but I still get this error.

ErrorException : file_put_contents(/var/www/storage/framework/cache/data/5e/3c/5e3cbbed47195384f39edf30b47d8cd8245cdff8): failed to open stream: No such file or directory

I am using Laradock in project. it is working normally but in phpunit is not working.
