"No input file specified" message in browser when using Homestead

posted 7 years ago

Hi there,

I'm very new to Laravel and back-end development in general. Just a pesky front-end dev trying to setup a local server environment, so go easy on me!

I've installed Laravel Homestead and edited my host file which all seemed to go pretty smoothly but when I visit the specified URL in my browser I get the message "No input file specified." after running "vagrant up" in terminal. My initial guess is something is wrong with the folder I've specified in the Homestead.yaml file.

I'm running Mac OS and all my websites are stored in Username / Sites. The path of my Homestead folder is also in there like this _Username / Sites / Homestead". In the Homestead.yaml file I set my 'folder' to map: ~/Sites - that should mean when I visit the specified URL in the browser I get a list of folders (all of my websites), right? Or at least that was the result I'm expecting.

If I type ~Sites/ in my browser address bar I do see a list of folders so the path does work. It redirects to file:///Users/MYUSERNAME/Sites/

I'll paste the code from my Homestead.yaml file below for reference. It'd be much apperciated if someone can point out where I'm going wrong here. If you need anymore info just ask and I'll provide it.

Thanks in advance!

P.S. The 'block' code tags don't seem to be working?

ip: "192.168.10.10" memory: 2048 cpus: 1 provider: virtualbox

authorize: ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub

keys: - ~/.ssh/id_rsa

folders: - map: ~/Sites to: /home/vagrant/Code

sites: - map: myname.dev to: /home/vagrant/Code/public

databases: - homestead

The error is thrown from nginx. check nginx error log for details.

Thanks, where would I find this file on Mac OS? Or can I view it in Terminal with a command? I've had a Google but I can't find anything that works. A search for nginx on my computer doesn't find anything that looks like it's what I need - that's with hidden files set to display too.

I'm not sure, i don't use mac. If you're running vagrant or linux probably it's in /var/log/nginx/error.log

In /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/ I found this, if it helps?

server { listen 80; listen 443 ssl http2; server_name MYPROJECTNAME.dev; root "/home/vagrant/Code/MYPROJECTNAME/public";

index index.html index.htm index.php;

    try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$query_string;
}

location = /favicon.ico { access_log off; log_not_found off; }
location = /robots.txt  { access_log off; log_not_found off; }

access_log off;

}

ssl_certificate     /etc/nginx/ssl/MYPROJECTNAME.dev.crt;
ssl_certificate_key /etc/nginx/ssl/MYPROJECTNAME.dev.key;

}

I've tried a few different websites in my "Sites" folder. Does the site NEED a database and/or .php files to work or would an index.html get picked up too? Also should there be a public folder or should having an index.html file as a direct child work fine as well?

EDIT Not sure what's going on with the code formatting on this forum. I haven't even used any tags here and it's formatting it like this?!
