403 Forbidden error on my page after creating a storage link with php artisan

Question

since I've created a storage link, I am encoutering a 403 error on a page. Not all pages.

I want to create a projects page, and retrieve my project (name, description, img) from the database. Since I created a storage link I got a 403 error on my projects page.

pages/projects.blade.php

@extends('components.layout')

@section('content')
    @foreach ($projects as $project)
        <section class="h-full" style="height:100vh">
            <div>
                <img src="{{ asset('storage/' . $project->image_path) }}" alt="{{ $project->name }}" class="w-full h-full object-cover">

            </div>
            <div class="flex items-center justify-center h-full">
                <h1 class="uppercase text-6xl font-antonio font-bold text-title">{{ $project->name }}</h1>
                <p class="font-antonio text-text">{{ $project->description }}</p>
            </div>
    @endforeach
@endsection

The problem wasn't the permissions.

I already had created a projects map, so Laravel couldn't create on itself. So, if you are linking a storage, do not create a map yourself.

I didn't knew it would be done automatic.
