Fix Laravel Storage & Auth Errors -- 2

I need a Laravel specialist to jump in and solve two blocking problems that appeared right after I moved some folders and tweaked the server configuration.

First, the admin panel routes for /login and /register suddenly return a 404. They worked before the move, so I’m guessing something went wrong with the route bindings, web.php entries, or perhaps the middleware stack.

Second, every image that lives in storage/ no longer renders on the site. The paths look intact, yet the browser can’t find the files. A fresh storage:link or a path correction in config/filesystems.php may be all that’s needed, but I’d like you to trace it properly rather than apply quick guesses.

What I expect from you
• Diagnose and restore the admin authentication routes so the forms load and submit successfully.
• Repair the storage link (or its equivalent) so all existing images display again without breaking future uploads.
• Explain briefly what you changed so I can avoid repeating the mistake on the next deployment.

This is a small, focused fix, ideal for someone comfortable with Laravel 8/9 conventions, Artisan, and basic server permissions. If you can hop on the server, resolve both issues, and hand back a clean bill of health, let’s get started.
