Recurring permissions problems w/ Laravel on vagrant box

I’m getting some strange permissions problems. I’m using Laravel on a vagrant box. I regularly have to reset my app/storage permissions.

Here’s my process:

in terminal, run sudo chmod -R 777 app/storage. I do this both from the vagrant ssh and directly on my machine.
everything loads fine.

I run a login script that looks like this:

public function store()
{
$input = Input::all();

$attempt = Auth::attempt([
    'email' => $input['email']
    , 'password' => $input['password']
]);

if($attempt){
    return Redirect::intended('/');
}else{
    dd('errors');
}
}

I fill in my login with incorrect details & I get the dd() output as expected.
I return to my login form.
I enter valid user details.

I get the following permissions error:

file_put_contents(/var/www/laravel/app/storage/sessions/62da397f3ec526dea6cabf36f06657234dfb9de7): failed to open stream: Permission denied

In terminal I run sudo chmod -R app/storage again.
I can reload the page and the permissions denied error is gone.

I’ve done this consistently every. single. time. I can’t work out what’s messing with my permissions or how to fix it.

Answer

I’ve just figured it out. it’s to do with the vagrantfile. I added the owner and group info to the synced files and it’s working now.

  config.vm.synced_folder ".", "/var/www", :owner => 'www-data', :group => 'www-data'
