Laravel Homestead: 403 forbidden on nginx

laravel, nginx

Solution

I had the same problem and for me the cause was that in the Homestead.yaml file, I have incorrectly put this:

sites:
- map: homestead.app
  to: /home/vagrant/Code

Instead of the correct syntax:

sites:
- map: homestead.app
  to: /home/vagrant/Code/path/to/public

Problem

I just installed Laravel Homestead according to their instructions. When I open http://homestead.app:8000 I get the nginx 403 forbidden HTTP Response. I have tried setting app/storage permissions to 755, but that didn't work, so I reloaded Vagrant. With no further result. I also tried changing the nginx configuration, but with no success.
