ngix, cannot reach auto virtual host (pretty urls) on windows 8.1
-
I cannot reach the pretty urls created by laragon.
If I type localhost/appname I reach the app without problems.
If I type appname.myapp I cannot reach the app.
appname.myapp has been added to the windows hosts file without problems
If I try to ping appname.myapp I don't get a responseNow, an interesting thing: if I use .dev as an extension, I receive a response when I ping appname.dev but in the browser it is still impossible to reach my app.
I think the problem is with my network configuration, but I don't even know what to search in order to find possible solutions.
All suggestions are appreciated.
That said: Laragon looks like a great timesaving tool. I'm looking forward to use it in the months to come.
Thanks

@dven: How about using .dev with Firefox?
-
I tried on chrome and firefox both, but I can't reach the .dev
-
restart nginx

I had a similar issue on Windows 10 I just resolved. My pretty URLS were not working, but localhost was.
After checking nginx access and error logs I don't think it was my folder permissions and paths.If you right click in "Laragon > Preferences" , enable "Auto Virtual Hosts". I had to turn off my anti-virus for this to work and then restart nginx.

@tonyshi thank you for your suggestion, I tried it but even this doesn't work. I think it's a problem with windows and not with laragon, and now I just connect to localhost/projectname and that's it.
Thanks again.

I have the same problem.
I chose apache and it runs on win10.
I can acces my laravel project at localhost/myproject/public but not on http://myproject.dev. It jumps to localhost instead.
The checkbox is checked and I can see that the url is created in my hostfile.
Any other suggestions to resolve this?ps: Thanks for the creation of Laragon. I waisted far to much time on trying to get Homestead working and failed.

Is it possible that the proxy at my work has anything to do with this?
When i try ngrok I get also an error: " reconnecting (Non-200 response from proxy server: 407 Proxy Authentication Required)"
Maybe these issues are related?
-
@Rydeck : Yes, your proxy may cause some unexpected results.
Open Terminal, what do you see with this command?curl -iL http://myproject.dev
-
@leokhoa This command shows me the correct html I should be seeing in the browser.
After some investigation i could see that the browser shows me in de dev tool a response of 301 (permenant move) of myproject.dev. This seems to be cached in the browser without expirationdate. In Firefox I could enter myproject.dev after I cleaned the cache en turned the proxy off. This didn't work in Chrome.
I need the proxy to do the other internet stuff so I don't want to switch constantly between proxy and no-proxy settings. Any ideas?
-
@Rydeck : curl works --> It means your browsers are using proxy that cause the issue. Root cause found!
Now, the solution is simple: you can install another Chrome based browsers (with no proxy) for development
-
@leokhoa Can I switch the proxy setting of one Chrome off and of another Chrome (for example a portable one) on?
I thought Chrome uses the system settings for these and they apply for all.
In Firefox I disabled the proxy and indeed it works but I prefer to develop in Chrome.
-
@Rydeck : If another portable Chrome works for you, it is a solution.
If not, there are manyChrome based
browsers or alternatives:
