Map your hosts file - Set up Laravel Homestead Tutorial 4

[@markcondello8395]

This video series helped me a lot. I have not found good documentation to setup Homestead with virtual box. This was exactly what I needed.

[@QuentinWatt]

yay! so happy to hear it was helpful.

Quentin just watched your first 4 tutorials and now homestead is working like a charm. Thank you!!

[@QuentinWatt]

Woooohoooooo! positive feedback is so good to hear :)

[@kennethavila7451]

Thanks so much for making these! When I go to qcasts.test:8000 I get an message saying "No input file specified." Any ideas on what I did wrong? I am on a windows machine and had to change the host file using Notepad++

[@PP-qw3yr]

Amazing video! I build Laravel homestead on my mac successfully follow your video!

[@paolodelmundo4641]

Amazing tutorial! Is it possible to use Vagrant to deploy ec2 instance on AWS?

[@ivoamaral1]

Hi Quentin. Thank you for the tutorial. An important command if you edit Homestead.yaml is 'vagrant reload --provision' . It will update Nginx configuration on the virtual machine. :)

[@QuentinWatt]

Thanks

Thanks for this series. It's been very helpful. Quick question regarding the IP. What's the reason for choosing 127.0.0.1? In homestead.yaml the default IP is 192.168.10.10 which should work without having to use the port 8080 in the browser address. I am still learning so if you can shed any light on this it would be appreciated. Thanks!

[@QuentinWatt]

That's not what is documented on the Laravel website. I suppose it's just another way to do things but if someone modifies the yaml config then that IP would be different. So it opens up the possibility for that IP address not to be consistent across multiple environments.

[@LetTheWritersWrite]

@@QuentinWatt He's actually correct. The documentation does talk about setting it up with 192.168.10.10 and no longer necessary to use the port.

[@srikanthchitturi2206]

What to do in windows , because we don't have /etc/hosts file. And when did you serve the project , you run it automatically .

[@QuentinWatt]

The hosts file for Windows is located in C:\Windows\System32\Drivers\etc\hosts The project starts up when you run `vagrant up` on the command line

[@rocas4087]

if i enter via port 8000 i get "No input file specified", if i enter via port 80 i get "You don't have permission to access the requested directory. There is either no index document or the directory is read-protected." (error 403). Any ideas?

[@alexdoerfer7146]

Same problem here when I use port 8000. Would greatly appreciate some help!

[@PreetiPatel-w8p]

In windows, sudo vim /etc/hosts gives error "bash: sudo: command not found " how to handle in window??

[@yaseral-sakkaf9779]

i do every thing correctly but still have problem is This site can’t be reached

[@activelivingchallenger4298]

in the yaml file check the to: of the sites second. You might have edit it like i had to do, have it end with blog/public or whatever u called the project if it wasn't called blog.

[@nk361]

@@activelivingchallenger4298 This also worked for me. So I wanted to add more detail for anyone else who may be looking. In the yaml file, under sites: and to: it may need to be code/(project name)/public instead of just code/public. The project name is what you used in the laravel new command or the move command mentioned in the video. (whichever one you did last) I kept getting "refused to connect" which made me think it was a firewall/networking issue instead of a mapping problem. Hope this helps someone.

[@jaxsofspades]

does anyone know how to do the editing the hosts file step on windows? i simply dont get a laravel website no matter how i alter it

[@amirqushairijdeace3208]

- Press the Windows key. - Type Notepad in the search field. - In the search results, right-click Notepad and select Run as administrator. - From Notepad, open the following file: c:\Windows\System32\Drivers\etc\hosts. - Make the necessary changes to the file. - Select File > Save to save your changes. *make sure the ip same with vagrant ip example: 192.168.10.10 qcasts.test

[@activelivingchallenger4298]

In the browser I get: "No input file specified". Unfortunately this doesn't work for me.

[@activelivingchallenger4298]

Able to fix it from changing in my yaml file sites: to: from /home/vagrant/code/public to /home/vagrant/code/blog/public Then i did vagrant reload -provision to update everything to use the yaml changes.

[@dolciziaselvaggio4762]

@@activelivingchallenger4298 Big help thank you! vagrant reload --provision was exactly what I needed.

[@activelivingchallenger4298]

@@dolciziaselvaggio4762 no worries, good luck learning laravel!

[@QuentinWatt]

Sounds like you skipped the step, I do mention this in the video, but I am glad the comment is here to help others. :D

[@carlotamartinez8128]

Hi there! Great tutorial but when typing sudo vim /etc/hosts it always says "bash: sudo: command not found " No matter what I try, because I have search a bunch of options on the internet but not lucky at all. With all commands was the same. First time I was installing all these apps...

[@QuentinWatt]

sudo is a linux/OSX command. If you are using windows, the command and the location of the file may be different.

[@marcus11b]

Thank you Sir !

[@QuentinWatt]

It's a pleasure.

[@fayssalelansari8584]

ok this works, thanks .

[@QuentinWatt]

You're welcome!

[@Waanled]

Writing this down so people dont make the same silly mistake I did. when editing the hosts file I was in my virtual machine so changes obviously were not working. Make sure when editing your host file you are not SSH into vagrant.

[@QuentinWatt]

I think this is visible in the video, but thank you for highlighting it. I'll try to be a little more obvious in future videos.

[@ismaelseck]

an error occurs when i'm lauching qcasts.test:8000. 502 Bad gateway

[@QuentinWatt]

Sounds like your server is running, but the homestead environment isn't properly mapped. Please watch again and find your mistake or read the documentation. :)

[@ismaelseck]

@@QuentinWatt i did it and i succeded thanks very much

[@HylianNBf]

why i need rename SERVER file to INDEX.php? :/

[@QuentinWatt]

To which minute in the video are you referring?

[@benfisher9942]

[@mohamedyansane6595]
