php imagejpeg path in laravel broken

Question

my imagejpeg function is failing on my remote website, works fine locally.

This is the code I'm using at the moment wich works fine locally.

imagejpeg($dst_r, path('public') . 'thumbnails/' . $filename ,$jpeg_quality);

When I try it out on my remote website I get:

Unable to open '/home/deb65018/domains/mywebsite.com/designs/public/thumbnails/1308341733389.jpg' for writing: No such file or directory

I've tried this aswell:

imagejpeg($dst_r, URL::base() . '/thumbnails/' . $filename ,$jpeg_quality);

But using the basepath somehow breaks my code even locally by giving me a "Unable to open" error.

Can anyone point out my stupid mistakes?
