This usually happens when the storage/formatter directly cannot be written into by Flarum/the web user.

how to solve this? please help I am newbie

i have removed s9e

composer remove s9e/flarum-ext-mediaembed
s9e/flarum-ext-mediaembed is not required in your composer.json and has not been removed
Package "s9e/flarum-ext-mediaembed" listed for update is not installed. Ignoring.
Loading composer repositories with package information
Updating dependencies (including require-dev)
Nothing to install or update
Generating autoload files

should i runcomposer update --prefer-dist --no-dev -a --with-all-dependencies ?

Removing an extension won't help. What are the permissions for the storage directory? ls -la storage/

where can i find 'ls -la storage/'

the whole storage folder has 755 permission

    Hari that is a command you can run on linux operating systems to see permissions. Just 755 won't do, I'd need to see the user involved..

            Hari try running sudo -u www-data php flarum cache:clear and report back whether that solves it.

              [m]:ask$ sudo -u www-data php flarum cache:clear
              [sudo] password for m:
              Sorry, try again.
              m is not in the sudoers file. This incident will be reported.

              installation is in subfolder

                Hari okay

                php flarum cache:clear
php flarum info

                Can you also explain your hosting environment?

                    I think opcache needs to be cleared. Try;

                    php -r "opcache_reset();"

                    admin dashboard is working

                      Hari then this might be browser cache, try flushing your browser cache too.

                        yes i have cleared

                        php -r "opcache_reset();" and also cleared browser cache

                        tried in private window too
