No valet.sock file found

[dkrasov]

Hey guys, I'm on my new Mac OS Sierra (fresh install) and trying to get valet working. It was okay for a while, but after rebooting my Mac nginx started to throw me 502 error. In nginx error log I've found the next lines:

2017/09/22 10:37:55 [crit] 12719#0: *4 connect() to unix:/Users/MYUSER/.valet/valet.sock failed (2: No such file or directory) while connecting to upstream, client: 127.0.0.1, server: , request: "GET /robots.txt HTTP/1.1", upstream: "fastcgi://unix:/Users/MYUSER/.valet/valet.sock:", host: "foobar.dev"

I've tried almost everything:

• reinstalling valet (entirely using composer and changing version to dev-master too)
• reinstalling php 7.1 and nginx and dnsmasq
• changing permissions on .valet folder

What am I doing wrong?

Sounds like PHP isn't started properly, as nginx can't find phpfpm on the valet.sock socket.

Or else the edit to the default php configuration didn't work properly: https://github.com/laravel/valet/blob/master/cli/Valet/PhpFpm.php#L63

Hello guys,

I was having the same issue after knocking my head around i came upto this solution and its working perfectly .. Here you go 👍

so Firstly, i install Brew : /usr/bin/ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"

Then i installed php71 which is now php@7.1 : brew install php71

-> after installation export : echo 'export PATH="/usr/local/opt/php@7.1/bin:$PATH"' >> ~/.bash_profile echo 'export PATH="/usr/local/opt/php@7.1/sbin:$PATH"' >> ~/.bash_profile

-> brew link php@7.1 --force --overwrite

->ln -s $(which php) /usr/local/bin/php

Then i installed composer using :

php -r "copy('https://getcomposer.org/installer', 'composer-setup.php');" php -r "if (hash_file('SHA384', 'composer-setup.php') === '544e09ee996cdf60ece3804abc52599c22b1f40f4323403c44d44fdfdd586475ca9813a858088ffbc1f233e9b180f061') { echo 'Installer verified'; } else { echo 'Installer corrupt'; unlink('composer-setup.php'); } echo PHP_EOL;" php composer-setup.php php -r "unlink('composer-setup.php');"

and mv composer.phar /usr/local/bin/composer

and then installed valet : composer global require laravel/valet

And then comes the tricky part :

-> open -e /Users/USERNAME-Directory/.composer/vendor/laravel/valet/cli/Valet/Brew.php

and alter

function supportedPhpVersions() { return collect(['php', 'php72', 'php71', 'php70', 'php56','php@7.1']); }

-> open -e /Users/USERNAME-Directory/.composer/vendor/laravel/valet/cli/Valet/PhpFpm.php

and alter

function fpmConfigPath() { $confLookup = [ 'php' => '/usr/local/etc/php/7.2/php-fpm.d/www.conf', 'php72' => '/usr/local/etc/php/7.2/php-fpm.d/www.conf', 'php71' => '/usr/local/etc/php/7.1/php-fpm.d/www.conf', 'php70' => '/usr/local/etc/php/7.0/php-fpm.d/www.conf', 'php56' => '/usr/local/etc/php/5.6/php-fpm.conf', 'php@7.1' => '/usr/local/etc/php/7.1/php-fpm.d/www.conf' ];

return $confLookup[$this->brew->linkedPhp()];

} and then final step : sudo brew services restart nginx && sudo brew services restart php@7.1

And DONE!!!!

Cheers!!

Wow, that actually worked for me as well!

One thing i had to do afterwards though:

valet install

Thanks!

[therealchiko]

Just valet install did it for me. Also kept my previous config as it was, which is awesome.

Writing this here incase it helps anyone in 2021 - I had to copy /usr/local/etc/php/8.0/php-fpm.d/valet-fpm.conf to /usr/local/etc/php/8.0/php-fpm.conf. This solved my issue of the 502 error. Looking at the php-fpm logs revealed that the conf file wasn't being loaded - because it didn't exist. I'm guessing there's a reason for this, but working with only valet, it was easier to clone the file and rename it, than to spend my life figuring out why the server gods reject me so

@yratof Thank you. I found your answer working for me. Thanks for sharing

[vardumper]

thanks a bunch @yratof after spending a lifetime (2 days) on this, your suggestion helped.

In addition to the solution of @yratof which solved it for us, but in a different way because of a fresh install on an M1 machine. This reply is the equivalent for it

Just in case the reply in the link is removed:

cd /opt/homebrew/etc/php/8.1 && sudo cp php-fpm.d/valet-fpm.conf php-fpm.conf

Ah, great to hear it served at least 1 person @Groganj89 ! These kind of things are very tedious to fix ;) Have a good one!
