Answer 1

The problem is you are not using the default Laravel file structure, therefore your public_path() is still pointed into /home/dermopres/laravel/public as mentioned in the error message.

First thing that you should do is set your Laravel application according to your current file structure.

On your public_html/index.php change the following line:

require __DIR__.'/../bootstrap/autoload.php';

$app = require_once __DIR__.'/../bootstrap/app.php';

to

require __DIR__.'/../laravel/bootstrap/autoload.php';

$app = require_once __DIR__.'/../laravel/bootstrap/app.php';

and also add this line to the /laravel/bootstrap/app.php:

$app->bind('path.public', function() {
return __DIR__.'/../../public_html';
});

Answer 2

you have to make the doctor_img directory writable

if you are on linux / homestead

run below on terminal

sudo chmod 666 -R /home/dermopres/laravel/public/doctor_img

Answer 3

Your image path is wrong. It should be like this.

$image->save(public_path() . '../doctor_img/' . $file_name);

As public_path() goes to public folder.
