Fresh Laravel install displays 403 Forbidden in Nginx

I have created a fresh Laravel application by using composer create-project command. Then I put all the folders and files in /usr/share/nginx/html/, which is the default document root for my nginx server. However everytime I runs the http://localhost, it keeps displaying 403 Forbiden. I tried creating a testing index.php (<? php_info();) and it worked fine.

I've read somewhere that I need to set the containing folder (/html), as well as the app/storage folder permission to 777 but still no luck.

Please help me. Thank you in advance.

Here is the nginx default.conf

The accepted answer is correct - Laravel services from the public folder and you need to tell nginx to look there - but also a little vague if you're bumping up against this problem. When you create new sites on a Homestead installation by adding them to your .yaml file and using vagrant provision or vagrant up --provision, the created nginx conf file will need editing before Laravel will serve files correctly.

Go to your CLI, and enter Homestead using vagrant ssh or homestead ssh. It will ask for your password, which by default is "vagrant".

Once you're in the virtual machine, type the following commands:

sudo nano /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/your-site-name-here

Then add /public to the end of the existing root near the top of the file (it'll be something like /home/vagrant/projects/your-site to begin with and save in Nano (ctrl+s), then exit nano (ctrl+x).

Once you've exited Nano, restart nginx using sudo nginx -s reload. Your routing will now work!

Laravel projects serve from the <projectName>/public directory. Make sure your nginx config is set up to look there for your index file and NOT in your <projectName> folder only.

Would you edit your question and paste your server config there?

I think it may because index.php is not in the index file list. check these lines:

index index.html index.php;

or

try_files $uri $uri/ =404;
