Laravel 9: Can Not Read Images From Storage Directory

I have a Laravel 9 project and I just uploaded this project into server.

Now for this project everything works fine except the images that are coming from storage directory.

For example, I tried creating and storing the captcha images at storage/app/dist/captcha/{ip_address_of_user}/.

Now when I check this directory, I can see that the captcha images are properly created and stored there.

But in the view, this code can not load the images:

<div class="row" style="margin-left:50px" dir="ltr">
    @foreach(range(0,5) as $i)
        <div class="col-2">
            <img src="{{ asset("storage/dist/captcha/".$ip."/".$i."captcha.png") }}">
        </div>
    @endforeach
</div></br>

Here is my filesystems.php:

'disks' => [

        'local' => [
            'driver' => 'local',
            'root' => storage_path('app'),
            'throw' => false,
        ],

        'public' => [
            'driver' => 'local',
            'root' => storage_path('app/public'),
            'url' => env('APP_URL').'/public_html/storage',
            'visibility' => 'public',
            'throw' => false,
        ],

        's3' => [
            'driver' => 's3',
            'key' => env('AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID'),
            'secret' => env('AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY'),
            'region' => env('AWS_DEFAULT_REGION'),
            'bucket' => env('AWS_BUCKET'),
            'url' => env('AWS_URL'),
            'endpoint' => env('AWS_ENDPOINT'),
            'use_path_style_endpoint' => env('AWS_USE_PATH_STYLE_ENDPOINT', false),
            'throw' => false,
        ],

        'dist' => [
            'driver' => 'local',
            'root' => storage_path('app/dist'),
            'url' => env('APP_URL') . '/storage/app',
            'visibility' => 'public',
            'throw' => false,
        ],

        'upload' => [
            'driver' => 'local',
            'root' => storage_path('app/upload'),
            'url' => env('APP_URL') . '/storage/app',
            'visibility' => 'public',
            'throw' => false,
        ],
    ],

With these links :

'links' => [
        public_path('storage') => storage_path('app/public'),
        public_path('storage/dist') => storage_path('app/dist'),
        public_path('storage/upload') => storage_path('app/upload'),
    ],

I tried running php artisan storage:link in the command line of my server, but this error returns:

INFO  The [public/storage] link has been connected to [storage/app/public].


   ErrorException

Screenshot Update:

I don’t know really what’s going wrong here!

So if you know how to solve this problem or how to load the images from storage directory , please help me out with this…

Note that I changed the public directory to public_html and added this to AppServiceProvider:

public function register()
    {
        $this->app->bind('path.public',function(){
            return base_path() . '/public_html';
        });
    }
