The issue you're experiencing is likely due to the fact that Vite (which is used by Laravel Mix for development builds) is trying to serve your assets from a specific IP address that is no longer valid in your current network environment. This can happen when you move between different networks, as the local IP address of your machine changes.
To resolve this issue, you can configure Vite to use localhost instead of a specific IP address. Here's how you can do it:
-
Update your
vite.config.jsfile: Ensure that your Vite configuration is set to uselocalhostfor the development server. You can do this by setting thehostoption in theserverconfiguration.Open your
vite.config.jsfile and modify it as follows:import { defineConfig } from 'vite'; import laravel from 'laravel-vite-plugin'; export default defineConfig({ plugins: [ laravel({ input: ['resources/css/app.css', 'resources/js/app.js'], refresh: true, }), ], server: { host: 'localhost', // Use 'localhost' instead of a specific IP port: 5173, // Ensure this matches the port you're using }, }); -
Restart your development server: After making the changes, stop your current
npm run devprocess and start it again. This will ensure that Vite uses the updated configuration. -
Clear your browser cache: Sometimes, browsers cache the old IP address. Clear your browser cache or try accessing your application in an incognito window to ensure you're loading the latest assets.
By setting the host to localhost, you should be able to access your development server regardless of the network you're on, as localhost will always resolve to your local machine. If you need to access the server from other devices on the same network, you might need to adjust the host setting to 0.0.0.0 and access it via your machine's current IP address.
