Here is my app.yaml

runtime: php
env: flex

runtime_config:
  document_root: .

# Ensure we skip ".env", which is only for local development
skip_files:
  - .env
  - Dockerfile
  - docker-compose.yml

env_variables:
  # Put production environment variables here.
  APP_LOG: errorlog
  #APP_KEY: LCG9E1xG5FQDMNauR8wWW3GTyB6Tj6Nv
  STORAGE_DIR: /tmp

Here is my database:

...
'default' => env('DB_CONNECTION', 'sqlite'),
...

'sqlite' => [
    'driver'   => 'sqlite',
    'database' => env('DB_DATABASE', 'storage/database.sqlite'),
    'prefix'   => '',
],
    ...

My GAE is Flexible env and it should be able to use Framework and CMS there, but unfortunately this error don't let me install this Laravel based CMS on this service.

Any help regarding this will be extremely appreciated. thanks

Solution

I think GAE does not support concurrent file operation, because of:

1) SQLite Written in in C 2) SQLite would need local I/O which the App Engine running time would not give you
