Laravel 8 Failed to clear cache. Make sure you have the appropriate permissions

Question

I am running php artisan cache:clear to clear the cache in Godaddy shared hosting through SSH.

My other artisan commands working but php artisan cache:clear not.

I am getting following error :

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

make sure `bootstrap/cache` folder have correct permission `read/write` — Kamlesh Paul, Sep 28 '20 at 10:26
Make sure that your user has correct permissions on `storage/cache` folder. If not take a look on this question and give correct permissions. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/30639174/how-to-set-up-file-permissions-for-laravel — Malkhazi Dartsmelidze, Sep 28 '20 at 10:27

You can also user Artisan facade to clear cache in live server/production.

Artisan::call('cache:clear');

The user that executes php artisan cache:clear must have write permissions on the following directories and content recursively.

booststrap/cache/*
storage/*

To check files that user does not have write permission for

find booststrap/cache storage -not -perm -u=w

Finally fix permissions:

chmod -R u+w bootstrap/cache storage

I fixed this issue by deleting all files in bootstrap/cache. Then, run the following commands.

php artisan cache:clear

composer dump-autoload
