Problem OVH with symlink (Task: artisan:storage:link)

[slawkens]

Hello, I got a problem with the OVH provider. I am using shared hosting, with SSH access.

I wouldn't start this thread if I didn't seek everywhere for the help. But nothing helps..

The problem: the standard laravel symlinking doesn't work, because it points through /home directory (full path).

Like it creates a symlink like this:

Which doesn't work.

So I created this task as replacement:

task('artisan:storage:link', function () {
    writeln(run('ls -lha'));
    run('cd plugins/current/public && ln -s ../storage/app/public storage');
});

The task is run, but the symlink is not created.

When I login to the server with "dep ssh" and execute the EXACTLY same command - it works.

So here my question - is the "run" command running differently as I run it manually? Or what can be wrong here?

As I said - it works when I execute it manually. But I want to automatize it, and no need to enter it manually every time I deploy.

Thanks for any assistance.

Have a good day.
