Laravel showing "Failed to clear cache. Make sure you have the appropriate permissions"


If the data directory doesn't exist under (storage/framework/cache/data), then you will have this error.

This data directory doesn't exist by default on a fresh/new installation.

Creating the data directory manually at (storage/framework/cache) should fix this issue.


Try deleting these cached files under bootstrap folder:

/bootstrap/cache/packages.php/bootstrap/cache/services.php/bootstrap/cache/config.php

Then run php artisan cache:clear


Calling

php artisan config:cache 

before

php artisan cache:clear

fixed the issue.
