Hello @Danny69,

Welcome to the Google Cloud Community!

You can do the following troubleshooting options:

1. Take a look at this Stack Overflow post. You can add the following paths under your environment variables in your app.yaml: 

   APP_SERVICES_CACHE: /tmp/services.php
   APP_PACKAGES_CACHE: /tmp/packages.php
   APP_CONFIG_CACHE: /tmp/config.php
   APP_ROUTES_CACHE: /tmp/routes.php

2. Check out this Github issue. You can add the following line to the post-autoload-dump in your composer.json. You can also copy the part mentioned in the comment as it also provides additional setup to the composer.json.

   "mkdir -p ./bootstrap/cache/",

3. If the above options don't work, you can contact Google Cloud Support to further look into your case. Hope it helped, thanks!

Thanks for your help. but I went to use compute engine. I created the virtual machine deployed my app it works I can access my login page. I do have a second challenge which is the database. I have a data base on my local machine I also use phpmyadmin there. should I create a cloud sql instance for my database and then upload the .sql file there?

You need to set 755 on your bootstrap cache file. Look at my docker file. 

RUN chmod +x /usr/local/bin/entrypoint.sh && \
composer install --no-dev && \
npm install && \
chmod -R 775 node_modules && \
npm run build && \
chmod -R 775 public/build && \
php artisan cache:clear && \
php artisan optimize:clear && \
php artisan route:clear && \
chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/html && \
chmod -R 755 /var/www/html/storage && \
chmod -R 755 /var/www/html/bootstrap/cache && \
php artisan storage:link && \
php artisan cache:clear && \
