I get this error when I try to upload movie/video on my site 'You don't have permission to access the requested directory. There is either no index document or the directory is read-protected'. Here is my code

view:

<div class="col-md-6">

      {!! Form::open(['method'=>'POST', 'action'=> 'MovieController@store', 'files' => true]) !!}

   <div class="form-group">

      {!! Form::label('movie_name', 'Select Movie:') !!}

      {!! Form::file('movie_name', null, ['class'=>'form-control'])!!}

   </div>

</div>

controller:

public function store(Request $request){

   $data = $request->all();

   if ($request->hasFile('movie_name')) {

      $file = $request->file('movie_name');

      $name = $file->getClientOriginalName();

      $data[ 'movie_name' ] = $name;

      $destination = '/public/movies';

      $request->file('movie_name')->move(base_path() . $destination, $name);

            return $name;

        } else {

            return false;

        }

      }

Use Laravel's asset helper method to point to the public folder.

Try this:

public function store(Request $request){

   $data = $request->all();

   if ($request->hasFile('movie_name')) {

      $file = $request->file('movie_name');

      $name = $file->getClientOriginalName();

      $data[ 'movie_name' ] = $name;



      $request->file('movie_name')->move(asset('movies'), $name);

            return $name;

        } else {

            return false;

        }

      }

Try changing '/public/movies' permissions to 775.

sudo chmod -R 775 PATH/TO/DIRECTORY
