Answer 1

Here's the full solution steps:

1. run homestead edit

2. add /public to the end of your directory

sites: - map: homestead.app to: /full/path/to/the/laravel-app/public

3. run homestead halt && homestead up --provision

Answer 2

For some people this may be as simple as having git cloned in an existing public folder, e.g:

- map: hello-world.dev
  to: /home/vagrant/Code/Laravel/public/hello-world

The correct folder structure is:

- map: hello-world.dev
  to: /home/vagrant/Code/hello-world/public

Another good note is ignoring the laravel docs on editing hosts file, using git shell, or cygwin (windows) to install vagrant hostsupdater, and simply adding entries for hosts and aliases to ~/.homestead/Homestead.yaml file.

Answer 3

Configuring Nginx Sites :

sites: - map: homestead.test to: /home/vagrant/project1/public

Answer 4

To fix, ssh into your homestead, then do : nano /etc/nginx/sites-available/the-name-of-your-project.test

After that all you need to do is get rid of $uri/ that you will find in the location object , then do vagrant reload and error should be fixed.
