Laravel - valet 404 not found

Question

I have a laravel project which was working fine in http with php artisan serve. But I was working on a project where I needed to implement Facebook Login API which requires call from https, for doing this I installed valet globally executed following command:

 valet link backend-laravel
 valet secure backend-laravel

Here is the screenshot of valet links

Now when i enter https://backend-laravel.test it shows 404 error.

How can make it running? Is there something I missed?

run valet park from your project directory. – Petronilapetronilla

from inside the backend-laravel or outside. PS: dir name is backend-laravel – Convection

inside the backend-laravel – Petronilapetronilla

I executed the command and got following result This directory has been added to Valet's paths. but still the URL is showing 404. Do I need to restart some service ? – Convection

No try to run valet link backend-laravel from backend-laravel directory – Petronilapetronilla

@JinalSomaiya thanks it worked! Kindly post your answer so I can accept it – Convection

Answer 1

Run following commands from the root of your laravel projects directory:

valet park
valet link backend-laravel

I wish I would have seen this thread a few days ago. I did a fresh OS install to download and setup tools I use so that I can image my mac. I've done it several times now... 5 to be exact. Your comments above worked perfectly. I edited the answer to include the valet park which was discussed in comments to OP. Thanks for the solution! – Ferromagnetism

You can run these commands in a directory containing multiple site directories. On my mac I use Sites folder to hold all of my projects. Run it in the directory you keep your sites in and it will serve all of them. – Ferromagnetism

"from your project directory" seems wrong here. "from the root of your laravel projects" seems more correct, as per Prakash's answer – Unstriped

Answer 2

naming convention for project directory should follow kabab case.

correct : backend-project

incorrect : backend_project

and hit "backend-project" in browser. by the way it will work for both directories backend-project and backend_project

This naming convention solved my problem! Changed my directory from snake case to kebab case and it's resolving fine now. Thanks! – Balkin

Answer 3

You should run:

valet park

In the main folder, where all the Laravel projects are stored, the project folders are located. To open a project in your browser, you should access it by using the URL format: "folder_name_inside_the_main_folder.test."

OR

You should run:

valet link

on your project folder and open foldername.test on the browser.

Hope it helps someone!!!

Answer 5

In my own case (Vanilla PHP project), public folder was the cause of my issue.

Inside my project folder, I have a public folder that houses all my assets.

Turns out the valet driver checks inside the public folder for index.php which makes sense because that's how Laravel is configured.

So I had to rename the public folder that house all my assets to assets.

You can rename it to whatever you want.

Answer 6

Make sure docker is not occupying port 80. Shut it down and then valet restart
