Use Secure File Permissions

To ensure that sensitive files in your Laravel application are not accessible by unauthorized users, you should set secure file permissions on your server. Typically, your web server should have read-only access to your application files, while sensitive configuration files should not be publicly accessible.

Here are some recommended file permissions for a Laravel application:

# Set the permissions for directories to 755
find /path/to/your/laravel/app -type d -exec chmod 755 {} \;

# Set the permissions for files to 644
find /path/to/your/laravel/app -type f -exec chmod 644 {} \;

# Set the permissions for storage and bootstrap/cache to 777
chmod -R 777 /path/to/your/laravel/app/storage
chmod -R 777 /path/to/your/laravel/app/bootstrap/cache
