Laravel file permissions for Apache

I’m installing a Laravel app on a Centos 7 distro. I’m using PHP 7.2 and I’ve successfully installed apache and my project.

I was able to get the Apache splash page to show but as soon as I point my virtual host to my laravel public folder I get file permission errors in apache2 logs.

I’ve made both my public and storage folders read/write/executable by all for a short period and I am still getting the errors.

My virtual host:

<VirtualHost *:80>

DocumentRoot /var/www/html/checkers/public

<Directory /var/www/html/checkers/public>
    Options +Indexes +FollowSymLinks +MultiViews
        AllowOverride All
        Require all granted
    </Directory>

My permissions (after temporary chmod 777 on public and bootstrap):

drwxr-xr-x. 13 root root   4096 Jul  6 03:16 .

drwxr-xr-x.  3 root root     22 Jul  6 03:16 ..

The errors in /etc/httpd/logs/error_log:

Edit: I’ve sudo chmod -R 777 /var/ (temporarily) and I still get these permission errors.

    Thank you for the help. It turns out I was setting the permissions successfully but they were being overridden by Centos.

    sudo setenforce 0

    The above worked for me.

    Assign the owner to all directories to your username and group to www-data. Assuming your apache group www-data and my-user is your username

    sudo chown -R my-user:www-data /path/to/your/laravel/root/directory

    Then change the file and directory permission like this 

    sudo find /path/to/your/laravel/root/directory -type f -exec chmod 664 {} ;    
sudo find /path/to/your/laravel/root/directory -type d -exec chmod 775 {} ;

    Have you changed permissions recursively?

    try:

    chmod -R 777 /var/www/html/checkers/storage
chmod -R 777 /var/www/html/checkers/bootstrap
