body: <p>I followed the <a href="https://gae-php-tips.appspot.com/2013/10/22/getting-started-with-laravel-on-php-for-app-engine/?PageSpeed=noscript" rel="nofollow">Getting started with Laravel on PHP for App Engine</a> and I'm getting an error when I change the path of the Storage to Google Cloud Storage in <strong>local development</strong>.   </p>
  
  <p>ex.   </p>
  
  <pre><code>const BUCKET_NAME = "bucket-name";
  $storage_path = "gs://" . BUCKET_NAME . "/storage";
