Hi @felixwerner , this can be anything. Without more information I can't trace this to anything.
Did you park your sites root directory? Is there anything in the public directory? Which driver are you trying to use? Which framework? etc.etc.

Hi mischa thanks for getting back.

it happens on all projects.

i tested it with a empty project of only a index.php and a empty public folder.
no parked sites, no framework, nothing in the public directory.

the index.php
<?php echo "hi";

starting out it works. as soon as i add the empty public/ folder i get this 404.

Hi @felixwerner , this is most likely because of the https://github.com/laravel/valet/blob/master/cli/Valet/Drivers/BasicWithPublicValetDriver.php which is a default driver delivered by Laravel's Valet.

You could write your custom valet driver if you're not using any framework, see https://laravel.com/docs/11.x/valet#custom-valet-drivers
