title: How to fix Error: laravel.log could not be opened?
body: <p>I'm pretty new at laravel, in fact and I'm trying to create my very first project. for some reason I keep getting this error (I haven't even started coding yet)</p>
  
  <pre><code>Error in exception handler: The stream or file "/var/www/laravel/app/storage/logs/laravel.log" could not be opened: failed to open stream: Permission denied in /var/www/laravel/bootstrap/compiled.php:8423
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I've read this has something to do with permissions but <code>chmod -R 775 storage</code> didn't help at all. </p>
