Valet: Upgraded to MacOS Mojave and Valet sites no longer working

[LucidNinja]

Chrome: This site can't be reached, ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED
Safari: Safari can't connect to the server

I've tried everything mentioned here: https://gist.github.com/adamwathan/6ea40e90a804ea2b3f9f24146d86ad7f#gistcomment-1880793

But with no success. Are there compatibility issues or am I doing something wrong?

Ok. I managed to get this working by doing the following:

valet uninstall
sudo brew services stop nginx
sudo brew services stop php72
sudo brew services stop dnsmasq
brew uninstall nginx
brew uninstall php72
brew uninstall dnsmasq
rm -rf ~/.config/valet
rm /usr/local/bin/valet

Then I followed the standard installation docs, but had to restart my Mac to be able to perform valet install, otherwise the installer was not found.

After all of this, it still wasn't working, but I noticed that Chrome and Safari were still trying to access the https:// version, despite having cleared the cache numerous times. As a last ditch effort, I decided to run valet unsecure and then valet secure again, and voila! Fixed.

I don't really know what happened here, but we're all good now!

Good to hear that you got it to work! For me, I was able to do the following:

sudo brew services stop nginx
sudo brew services stop php72
sudo brew services stop dnsmasq

valet install

@zaknesler's solution worked for me after upgrading.

However, if you have custom Nginx configs, make sure you back them up first. 🤦‍♂️

@LucidNinja thank you, your solution worked for me.
