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!
