Setting up a second Homestead Laravel app

Question

I've been trying to set up a second Laravel 5 app on my local Homestead space. I have been following the instructions from the official documentation and from this blog. (Although I have had to use the specific ID of the provision in order to get the vagrant provision command to work.)

My YAML file looks like this:

---
ip: "192.168.10.10"
memory: 2048
cpus: 1
provider: virtualbox

authorize: ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub

keys:
    - ~/.ssh/id_rsa

folders:
    - map: C:\Users\Lisa\Documents\Homestead
      to: /home/vagrant/Code

sites:
    - map: homestead.app
      to: /home/vagrant/Code/larapipeline/public
    - map: tinkertower.app
      to: /home/vagrant/code/tinkertower/public

databases:
    - homestead

variables:
    - key: APP_ENV
      value: local

# blackfire:
#     - id: foo
#       token: bar
#       client-id: foo
#       client-token: bar

# ports:
#     - send: 93000
#       to: 9300
#     - send: 7777
#       to: 777
#       protocol: udp

My hosts file looks like this: 127.0.0.1 localhost 192.168.10.10 homestead.app 192.168.10.10 tinkertower.app

I THINK that having gone the provisioning and all that jazz, this should be setting up a starter Laravel app in the tinkertower folder, and that pointing to tinkertower.app should work. The tinkertower folder is empty, however, and trying to visit the site gives me a "server not found," as it's trying to find www.tinkertower.app. I can still get to the homestead.app site. I tried the "serve" command while sshed into homestead, but it didn't make any difference.

So, the questions: 1. Should these steps have added a clean version of Laravel into the tinkertower folder? If not, am I just supposed to grab a new version from Github?

2. Am I missing something that should get the tinkertower.app link working? I don't know enough to know if the fact that both sites have the same IP address is a problem nor how to fix it, nor if I'm missing something else. (After all, if I go to the IP address 192.168.10.10 directly, I get to the first app.)

Thanks in advance!

The problem was in your homestead.yaml file.

folders:
    - map: C:\Users\Lisa\Documents\Homestead\larapipeline
      to: /home/vagrant/Code/larapipelin
    - map: C:\Users\Lisa\Documents\Homestead\tinkertower
      to: /home/vagrant/Code/tinkertower

sites:
    - map: homestead.app
      to: /home/vagrant/Code/larapipeline/public
    - map: tinkertower.app
      to: /home/vagrant/code/tinkertower/public

Don't forget to edit your hosts file. Now run vagrant up --provision, or vagrant reload --provision.

Edit:

Fixed case sensitivity issue on this line.

    - map: tinkertower.app
      to: /home/vagrant/Code/tinkertower/public

Edit 2:

Sorry another mistake :)

You should put your websites into the same directory your Homestead config directory is in.

+ Documents
|
| --- Homestead
|
| --- larapipeline
|
| --- tinkertower

So all three folders, larapipeline, tinkertower, and Homestead should be in Documents directory.

Anyways final code here (hopefully no more mistakes by me):

folders:
    - map: C:\Users\Lisa\Documents\larapipeline
      to: /home/vagrant/Code/larapipelin
    - map: C:\Users\Lisa\Documents\tinkertower
      to: /home/vagrant/Code/tinkertower

sites:
    - map: homestead.app
      to: /home/vagrant/Code/larapipeline/public
    - map: tinkertower.app
      to: /home/vagrant/Code/tinkertower/public

Your hosts file:

127.0.0.1 homestead.app
127.0.0.1 tinkertower.app

Edit 3:

You have a case sensitivity issue. I fixed it, just copy and paste these two lines in the correct place.

- map: tinkertower.app
  to: /home/vagrant/Code/tinkertower/public

Change your hosts file, just do it and ask questions later.

# 127.0.0.1      localhost you don't need this line
127.0.0.1   tinkertower.app
127.0.0.1   homestead.app

Don't forget to move your actual folders to the correct place
