Laravel 5.0 Permission on ubuntu

Question

Whenever i pull from git on my production server, which is azure vps, i have to give permission to my proejct directory, so that apache user can access it. Otherwise it says, permission denied exception. so i have to run following line in terminal every time whenever i pull new code,

sudo chown -R www-data:www-data projectDirectory

And the worst thing is whenever Laravel creates new files for log, same issue happens, which gives me following exception:

Symfony\Component\Debug\Exception\FatalErrorException: Exception 'Symfony\Component\Debug\Exception\FatalErrorException' with message 'Uncaught exception 'UnexpectedValueException' with message 'The stream or file " /storage/logs/laravel-2016-03-17.log

Can anyone tell me how i can get rid of this critical issue. Thanks

P.S. I know this is has nothing to do with laravel.

You should execute this command in Ubuntu after installation:

sudo chmod -R 777 storage

This commands will set correct permissions on storage folder and everything inside it. Without this Laravel will not work.

This is not correct. You should not set all permissions for everyone, it is not safe. The answer of this question explains why and what you should do instead https://stackoverflow.com/questions/30639174/how-to-set-up-file-permissions-for-laravel – GusMilc May 11 '21 at 19:28

So, atlast i found a solution. What i really wanted was, whenever new file is created it should inherit all permissions from parent directory.

sudo chmod g+s /projectDirectory
