Hey,
I just wanted to upgrade Laravel Valet since a new version for PHP 7.4 was released yesterday.
After I followed the steps of https://stitcher.io/blog/php-74-upgrade-mac I can't access any page anymore (ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED in Google Chrome) and I don't really know how to start troubleshooting.
Any ideas, where Valet write logs or sth?
Did exactly that this weekend and took me about two hours to get it back up again.
Not sure what made it run again but I ran the following
brew uninstall [email protected]
brew uninstall nginx
brew uninstall dnsmasq
brew install php
brew install nginx
brew install dnsmasq
sudo valet install
Good luck.
Your answer saved me
Thanks @tray2
note if you run into permission errors uninstalling via homebrew, you can add force to remove all versions of something, for example brew uninstall --force php will override permissions and uninstall all php versions. This can help if you have some old ugly ini's or rules hanging around.
composer global update
valet stop
valet install
valet restart
This 4 lines solved my problem after upgrading to php 8. thanks:)
I have the same problem any updates?
