Why symlink not working in php artisan serve in laravel

I just tried the symbolic link in laravel, and it is working fine when I’m using valet.

But when I use php artisan serve command, it returns 404 error. I’ve read a lot regarding this topic but none of them works. Maybe you have an idea?

404 when using: php artisan serve

  • asset('storage/images/me.jpeg')
  • url('/') . '/' . 'storage/images/me.jpg'
  • '/storage/images/me.jpg'

Answer

Every time you change the server (so for example form local to production, or you download a repo from somewhere), you need to recreate the symbolic link that links storage to public (check here for more)
