  Try resetting the permissions of the `storage/` such that…
  
  * …folders within it are all `775`;
  * …files within it are all `664`;
  
  (The rest of the app should be `755` and `644`, respectively.)
  
  It's possible that PHP was running with higher-than-default permissions in the previous setup, in which case everything may have worked even if you hadn't explicitly made the storage folder writable.
