Hi,
I'm setting up Laravel Valet on my computer. I have followed all instructions, but if I open domain with example.dev I see the index page of all my projects. This looks like the apache page that I also have installed. Can I make this work together with apache?
Well both apache and valet are running on port 80 to make it easy to access the domain. So if you want to use Valet you need to stop apache first. Another option is making apache run on a different port, but it sounds to me that you want either of them, not both at the same time.
Thanks! Makes sense to turn of Apache
I wouldn't suggest to use .dev TLD for Valet domains. It enforces SSL for all domains which may not be what you want in all cases (.dev is a top level domain, btw). The same for .app domain.
@haykd It's locally, so it's probably just fine. Your hosts file will be updated as well to make this work ;)
@bobbybouwmann Yes, but browsers are enforcing SSL for those TLDs, so you should disable this on browsers too. Too much trouble to just have .dev or .app as your valet TLD. IMHO.
@haykd Fair enough, I never use those domains anyway, but they are mentioned in the docs so I can understand that people use them this way
@bobbybouwmann Yes, agreed.
