Valet: [HARD] Valet 404 Not Found

[indreklasn]

Hello

After three attempts trying to get Valet to work I'm turning here for help. Here is my setup:

I even tried using configurating the .pow and it still does not work. Any clues? I killed my apache (free up port 80), reinstalled everything 3x times and yet not working.

Anyone smart enough to figure out why this is happening?

[joshmanders]

Did you make sure to restart the services? sudo brew services restart (nginx|php71)?

[indreklasn]

@joshmanders yes I tried that, does not fix.

[drbyte]

I've usually seen that if anything else was running on port 80 prior to installing valet then even killing the previous process might not be enough ... but a reboot magically solves it all. Strange I know, but has been the solution for several.

[indreklasn]

@drbyte http://d.pr/i/WmPF/23IzKuLy Here's my port 80 stuff. No apache running..tried rebooting, nothing works.

I'm pretty dried up on what might be causing this, thus the desperate issue.

I also encountered this problem, you can go to tracking problem as I thoughtEnter the user home directory /. Valet/Log

$ cd  /Users/chenghuiyong/.valet/Log

$ tail nginx-error.log

[indreklasn]

@bravist

The .log file is empty =(

[huiyonghkw]

@wesharehoodies, try to reinstall the valet or your project

[cchamikara]

I have the same issue , I have even reinstall valet and stoped apache but still not working

[indreklasn]

Sorry, can't help, didn't get it to work properly. 😞

[Rahulsharma0810]

Try with

valet uninstall
valet install
valet link
brew services restart --all
valet restart
valet open

Best of Luck !

I'm having the same issues and none of the above works. There is another user on this machine who has Valet installed so could it be related to multiple users?

[Rahulsharma0810]

If Valet installed on Separate users /home directory then there should should be no issue

[archy-bold]

There _should_ be no issue, but there definitely is. I've now managed to get it working on my user account but it looks like the other user can only access my sites. Despite having their own ~/.valet folder and configuration. I guess the 404 comes from the fact that it's using another valet installation and can't find the requested project.

I tried restarting valet, the homebrew services and reinstalling on the other account. Nothing worked.

[blu-towers]

archy-bold is right having two users on the same machine both with Valet causes an absolute nightmare. I ended up deleting one user, chown all /usr/local folders back to main user then reinstalling brew services and valet.

I still had problems ping test.dev not found. Turns out /usr/local/etc/dnsmasq.conf had references to my old users dnsmasq.conf file deleting this now all working. I think this conf file may have contributed to the 404 issue to start with but i can't be sure.

Found this info on https://stackoverflow.com/questions/37172691/valet-laravel-dns-address-can-not-be-found

Having the same issue with multiple users, can't seem to figure it out.

I am having this issue for a CakePHP 3 application

I did valet park in the parent folder of the application and I am getting

However, it does work for a laravel application, I am wondering if this is a driver issue, maybe the driver needs to be specified somewhere?

[alexgiuvara]

I had the same issue, tried every single solution above, without success.
PHP 7.1, High Sierra
I solved by unlinking all domains and very important: cd parent/my-project && valet link my-project. Before that, I did cd parent && valet link my-project which was wrong.
Use valet links to monitor your actual paths

[dpatey]

@alexgiuvara Thank you. The link issue was what causing my 404s.

[Ahmed3rab]

If anyone is still having an issue, I just had this issue with Craft3, what I did is I went to the web folder inside the root folder of the craft project, ran valet link . and it worked. my entry was valet link craft, since my only domain was test, so valet automatically set the url to craft.test

[tomazcp]

@alexgiuvara thanks mate your linking tip solved it for me.

[cdils]

@alexgiuvara Thank you! Solves my problem. I'll add this here to be more explicit in case it helps someone else. If you've previously run:
cd parent && valet link my-project then do
cd parent && valet unlink my-project. That'll clean up previous, incorrect link and then run
cd parent/my-project && valet link my-project per @alexgiuvaras's tip.

[Mayvis]

Try valet links to see your project path, and valet link again.

[manhlinhng]

Yep. I had issue on Mojave.
You can unlink your project wrong link path project.
Example: Park path: path_to/projects and project path path_to/projects/laravel
Step by step

1. Unlink project (laravel) wrong path.
   cd projects
valet unlink laravel
2. Go to your project (laravel) and create new link
   cd path_to/project/laravel
valet link laravel
valet restart

DONE.

[drbyte]

I believe this issue can be closed.

It discusses 3 things, all of which are closed:

1. Valet giving 404 because of port conflicts, which is a userland issue.
2. Valet giving 404 in a multi-user environment, which is not supported by valet.
3. Valet giving 404 because project was linked to wrong location, which is exactly by design.

I also found that if you prefix your site domain with "www." it may not work. For example : www.mysite.test does not work, but mysite.test does.

Anyway, I think valet automatically handles the www subdomain when creating a site.

[bedus-creation]

I got the same problem and solved by..
cd ~/.composer/

sudo chown -R $(whoami) vendor

[drbyte]

I got the same problem and solved by..
cd ~/.composer/

sudo chown -R $(whoami) vendor

Or even better:

sudo rm -rf ~/.composer/vendor
composer global update

(I say "better" because if you've got a mishmash of permissions problems in that directory, then you've probably also got other problems, and clearing it all and reinstalling stuff is more thorough.)

[Ahmed-Aboud]

if you are trying to link normal php folders ( no framework ) you must specify the file and the file ending example :http://phpinfo.localhost/info.php

[wakjoko]

please rename your project if it contains underscore.
i found it the hard way though.. hope this will help someone else.

example project name: my_project
rename it to: my-project

valet unlink my_project
valet link my-project

[musafir928]

-> cd path/to/your/project/folder
-> valet link

[RichardFisher8410]

cd into your project folder. In my case this was the folder that contained all my WordPress files and folders (root of my website) and run "valet link". I tried other ways, but this was the only one that worked for me.

Thanks for the notice. _ is really a problem.

I've just renamed project name in the Nginx configuration, certificates issued for it, symlink in .valet/Sites. So actually where the project is located /var/www/project_name is with an underscore, but elsewhere name is merged.
valet:links gives

| Site        | SSL | URL                      | Path                    |
+-------------+-----+--------------------------+-------------------------+
| projectname |     | http://projectname.test  | /var/www/project_name   |
+-------------+-----+--------------------------+-------------------------+

And it's working!
