mkdir(): Permission denied after chmod

Question

I am faced with the mkdir(): Permission denied issue and i have checked multiple answers. All of them stated the permission of the storage folder shoulf be changed sudo chmod -R 777 app/storage but still the issue is not resolved in my case.

Any other solutions i should try to get it working?

Have you checked ownership of the master directory? If for example, it's owned by root:root you'd only be able to access it as root, unless you used chown to change ownership.

I gave 777 to the whole app. What do you mean? – omarsafwany Nov 20 '14 at 12:54
Permissions and ownership are two different things. – ollieread Nov 20 '14 at 13:00
If you run an `ls -la` next to the directory you see `youruser:youruser`? – ollieread Nov 20 '14 at 13:06
drwxrwxrwx@ 16 safwany admin 544 Nov 20 13:59 . is that what you mean?! – omarsafwany Nov 20 '14 at 13:11
