Problem with Digital Ocean and spaces cannot be accessed

Posted on October 16, 2024

DigitalOcean Spaces

Laravel

By enr9

Hello,

I’ve a problem using Digital Ocean and spaces on Laravel 10. I filled my .env like this:


 DO_SPACES_KEY=*************

DO_SPACES_SECRET=********************

DO_SPACES_ENDPOINT=fra1.digitaloceanspaces.com

DO_SPACES_REGION=FRA1

DO_SPACES_BUCKET=****************

All the keys are working because my colleagues are using the same as me, and we even tried to generate new one.

My config/filesystems.php :

 'spaces' => [

            'driver' => 's3',

            'key' => env('DO_SPACES_KEY'),

            'secret' => env('DO_SPACES_SECRET'),

            'endpoint' => env('DO_SPACES_ENDPOINT'),

            'region' => env('DO_SPACES_REGION'),

            'bucket' => env('DO_SPACES_BUCKET'),

        ],

I got this error:

Disk named spaces cannot be accessed

Do you have an idea how can I fix it please ?

Hey @enr9! 👋

The error "Disk named spaces cannot be accessed" could be caused by a couple of different issues.

Your config/filesystems.php configuration looks good, but make sure that the 'spaces' disk is set as the default or explicitly used in your code. Check your config/filesystems.php file for the default disk setting:

'default' => env('FILESYSTEM_DISK', 'spaces'),

If you’re not using 'spaces' as the default, make sure you are specifying the 'spaces' disk when working with files in your code:

Storage::disk('spaces')->put('file.txt', 'Contents');

On another note, double-check your bucket name in your .env file:

DO_SPACES_BUCKET=your-bucket-name

It should exactly match the name of your Spaces bucket in DigitalOcean. Sometimes, small typos or extra spaces can cause issues.

For DO_SPACES_ENDPOINT, it’s best to use the HTTPS endpoint to ensure secure connections:

DO_SPACES_ENDPOINT=https://fra1.digitaloceanspaces.com

If you don’t have the https:// prefix it might cause weird problems.

Also sometimes, changes to the .env file or configuration files might not take effect due to caching. Clear your configuration cache using:

php artisan config:clear

Let me know if the problem persists!
