Storage folders

Vortexus Marketplace stores media and template assets on disk. If the folders are missing or not writable, uploads and builds can fail quietly or with errors.

What you need

Under your Paymenter project, these paths must exist and be writable by the web server user (often www-data, nginx, or your PHP-FPM user):


storage/app/public/vortexus-marketplace/attachments
storage/app/public/vortexus-marketplace/templates

attachments — Files you attach to templates in admin (maps, mods, etc.).
templates — Parsed/config exports used when provisioning from the admin UI.

Paths are relative to your Paymenter root (same directory as artisan).

Create the folders

On Linux (example):

Run from the Paymenter project root (replace www-data with your web user if different):


mkdir -p storage/app/public/vortexus-marketplace/attachments
mkdir -p storage/app/public/vortexus-marketplace/templates
chown -R www-data:www-data storage/app/public/vortexus-marketplace
chmod -R 775 storage/app/public/vortexus-marketplace

If you use a control panel (Plesk, cPanel), create the same folder structure in File Manager and set permissions that match your other storage/ dirs.

The exact user/group depends on your host. If uploads still fail, check who owns storage/logs or storage/framework on a working Paymenter install and mirror that.

Link public storage

From the Paymenter root:


php artisan storage:link

This makes storage/app/public/... accessible under /storage/... in the browser.

Check your setup

In admin, attach a small test file to a template.
Confirm it appears where expected and downloads/loads without 404.

Common issues

Issue	Fix
403 / permission denied	Fix owner or `chmod` on `storage/` and the `vortexus-marketplace` subtree.
404 on file URLs	Run `php artisan storage:link`; confirm `public/storage` exists.
Files save but UI errors	Check PHP `upload_max_filesize` and `post_max_size` in `php.ini`.
