Nginx: Fix to “405 Not Allowed” about valet-linux

[cpriego]

It looks like a problem in either your routes file or client side not using the right method.
Could you post a sample of the client request and route file section?

Are you using the api.php or web.php file?

[luisfmelo]

in routes/api.php

Route::post('/test', function(){
    return "everything seems fine";
});

trying to access integrations.dev/api/test

and I receive:
MethodNotAllowedHttpException in RouteCollection.php line 233:

[cpriego]

How are you testing the endpoint? I just tried your example with postman but could not reproduce it. I can only see that exact error when using the wrong HTTP verb.

[cpriego]

Please update to the latest version.

[luisfmelo]

I updated but now nginx is not starting:

$ valet status
Php7.0-fpm is running...
Nginx is stopped...

[luisfmelo]

Ok, it appears that /etc/nginx/nginx.conf had one semi colon thet it should not be there.

But, POST requests are still not working.

[cpriego]

Thanks for pointing out the double semicolon, it is now fixed. Does the problem show up in Laravel Homestead?

[luisfmelo]

I don't use homestead...

But the issue with POST, it is something in valet or within my application?

[cpriego]

I'm almost sure it is with the application, that's the reason I asked you to test it in Homestead. I don't know the tool you used to test the API but as you can see in my screenshots it works just fine in my Valet installation.

MethodNotAllowedHttpException indicates that a route doesn't exist for the HTTP method you are requesting. If you have a POST route set up, you can't access it directly from the browser, since it performs a GET request. If you can't reproduce the test as shown by @cpriego, you can simply set up a form on a GET route forwarding to the POST route using the action method (remember to include {{ csrf_field() }} inside form tag, more info here).
