Asked 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.phpconfiguration looks good, but make sure that the'spaces'disk is set as the default or explicitly used in your code. Check yourconfig/filesystems.phpfile for the default disk setting:If you’re not using
'spaces'as the default, make sure you are specifying the'spaces'disk when working with files in your code:On another note, double-check your bucket name in your
.envfile: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:If you don’t have the
https://prefix it might cause weird problems.Also sometimes, changes to the
.envfile or configuration files might not take effect due to caching. Clear your configuration cache using:Let me know if the problem persists!
