6. Run valet command to valet directory

 

Then go to the directory where the Laravel valet is installed.

C:/Users/YOUR_USER_NAME/.config/valet

Open terminal or PowerShell as administrator. On Menu Bar File->Open Windows PowerShell-> Open Windows PowerShell as Administrator. Run-

valet

You see all commands used in the Laravel valet.

Run

valet services

If all services running that means you successfully install valet. If not run.

valet restart

You may face 502 Bad request.

Its because the php service may be stopped. Run-

valet services

To solve this problem you have to change the valet_phpcgi port from default 9001 to another(ex- 9002).

Go to C:\Users\Super Admin\.config\valet directory and edit config.json file. Change-

"php_port": 9002

 

Then uninstall valet and reinstall it. Do not delete any file or folder.

valet uninstall

valet install

Check services if they work properly. You should get this.

Try different port and the same steps until it works.

Go to the project directory where you save your projects. Open a terminal to that directory and run-

valet park

Now you can access the projects by their folder name. ex- your project folder is called laravel-shop(Your folder should not have space or _). Your domain name will be laravel-shop.test

For the list of all park directory run-

valet path

For Server restart

valet restart

For Secure Domain - open terminal as administrator on the parked directory, run-

valet secure laravel-shop

You will now have https://laravel-shop.test

For Unsecure it
