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?

from inside the backend-laravel or outside. PS: dir name is backend-laravel — Abhishek, Aug 27 '18 at 12:29
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 ? — Abhishek, Aug 27 '18 at 12:33

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! – DavidG May 01 '20 at 13:52

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. – DavidG May 01 '20 at 23:56
"from your project directory" seems wrong here. "from the root of your laravel projects" seems more correct, as per Prakash's answer – Dave Nottage Nov 23 '21 at 01:33

You should run:

valet park

on your main folder (where all the laravel projects are stored) while the folders inside the main folder are the project folders and folder_name_inside_the_main_folder.test opens the project on your browser.

OR

You should run:

valet link

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

Hope it helps someone!!!

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

You should run:

valet park

from your project folder to add it to Valet's paths.

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.
