Using Laravel Homestead: 'no input file specified'

Instead of reinstalling try

vagrant up --provision

or

homestead up --provision

This is easy to fix, because you have changed the folder name to: exampleproject

So SSH to your vagrant:

ssh [email protected] -p 2222

Then change your nginx config:

sudo vi /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/homestead.app

Edit the correct URI to the root on line 3 to this with the new folder name:

root "/Users/MYUSERNAME/Code/exampleproject/public";

Restart Nginx

sudo service nginx reload

Reload the web browser, it should work now


I had the same exact problem and found the solution through the use of larachat.

Here's how to fix it you need to have your homestead.yaml file settings correct. If you want to know how its done follow Jeffery Way tutorial on homestead 2.0 https://laracasts.com/lessons/say-hello-to-laravel-homestead-two.

Now to fix Input not specified issue you need to ssh into homestead box and type

serve domain.app /home/vagrant/Code/path/to/public/directory this will generate a serve script for nginx. You will need to do this everytime you switch projects.
