Laravel: mkdir(): Permission denied

I deployed my website to an apache webserver and try to make tinker work.

I have the problem that I can’t use tinker in Laravel with my user (clashfinder), with the command php artisan tinker. I get this error message:

ErrorException  : mkdir(): Permission denied

at /var/www/html/clash/vendor/psy/psysh/src/Configuration.php:363
359|             $this->runtimeDir = ConfigPaths::getRuntimeDir();
360|         }
361|
362|         if (!is_dir($this->runtimeDir)) {
> 363|             mkdir($this->runtimeDir, 0700, true);
364|         }
365|
366|         return $this->runtimeDir;
367|     }

Exception trace:

1   mkdir("/run/user/0/psysh")
  /var/www/html/clash/vendor/psy/psysh/src/Configuration.php:363

2   PsyConfiguration::getRuntimeDir()
  /var/www/html/clash/vendor/psy/psysh/src/Shell.php:198

As soon as I execute the command with sudo, it works.

My file permissions inside /var/www/html/clash/ look like this:

The permissions look correct for me. Can someone tell me why it won’t work with my user?

Answer

I think you need to create .psysh.php file in the project root of Laravel.

and then add:

<?php
return [
    'runtimeDir' => './.psysh',
];
