Hello all,

i am building a site using laravel 5, and run on to this little issue, i need clarification please. thanks all in advance, here is the initial configuration:

Installation configurations: 1- Laravel 5 standard installation - debug mode ON 2- storage directory set to 775 permissions 3- storage is chown to user.www-data... user is my OS user, www-data is Apache web server group 4- User is included in www-data group

laravel configurations: 5- route to a controller 6- the controller routed to a view named, index.blade.php 7- have a layout called master.blade.php 8- i include on both files standard blade syntax for basic templating 9- if no errors on the files all work as expected ... no problems so far

issue: 10 - When ... for example i typo the name of the view on the controller ... from index.blade.php to for example juancho.blade.php ... i expect a View not FOUND error ... but the page always shows completely BLANK no error message... 11- BUT if i change storage permissions to 777 ... i see the errors as expected.

Now, can you please tell me why the laravel debug do not work properly when the storage is not set to 777 ? Is my storage permissions configuration not correct ?

If the later, how is the correct way to configure storage for a production server ?

Thanks for the help

Juan
