can't run my laravel app on windows through vagrant - php

Question

I'm following larcast tutorials for up and running laravel i have setup the laravel its working fine now i wanted it through vagrant on my windows.
But i can't run my app when ever i browse "todo.app:8000" the pages doesn't response and displays the message "web page not avaliable".
however when i was setting it up on the first time i could access the page through "localhost:8000" and i was accessing it without "php artisan serve" command, but couldn't with "todo.app:8000" after that i updated composer and restarted machine and things gone even worst now i can't even access it with "localhost:8000" while if i run "php artisan serve" it works right.
Also there is no error on running homestead,vagrant or laravel commands they are working just fine. Can anyone please tell what i'm doing wrong ?
This is my homestead.yml file
---
ip: "192.168.10.10"
memory: 2048
cpus: 1
provider: virtualbox
authorize: ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub
keys:
- ~/.ssh/id_rsa
folders:
- map: ~/code
to: /home/vagrant/code
sites:
- map: todo.app
to: /home/vagrant/code/learning-laravel-5/public
databases:
- homestead
variables:
- key: AAP_ENV
value: local
# blackfire:

# client-token: bar
# ports:

# to: 5000
# - send: 7777
# to: 777
# protocol: udp
These are the configuration i have done in windows host file

# This is a sample HOSTS file used by Microsoft TCP/IP for Windows.
#
# This file contains the mappings of IP addresses to host names. Each
# entry should be kept on an individual line. The IP address should
# be placed in the first column followed by the corresponding host name.
# The IP address and the host name should be separated by at least one
# space.
#
# Additionally, comments (such as these) may be inserted on individual
# lines or following the machine name denoted by a '#' symbol.
#
# For example:
#
# 102.54.94.97 rhino.acme.com # source server
# 38.25.63.10 x.acme.com # x client host
# localhost name resolution is handled within DNS itself.
# 127.0.0.1 localhost
# ::1 localhost
127.0.0.1 todo.app
127.0.0.1 mynew.app
If anything else is needed then please tell that also. I have already spent whole day in figure it out but i'm stuck here. Thanks in advance

Answer 1

There are a couple of points to address (1 and 2 should fix your issue):
you cannot have todo.app point to your 127.0.0.1, you need to change 127.0.0.1 to the IP of your VM (192.168.10.10)
It would be http://todo.app not http://todo
Do you have port forwarding ? from your excerpt its commented, do you forward 80 to 8000, or do you have something running on the 8000 port of the VM ?
If you do localhost:8000, it assumes that you have forwarded port 80 from the VM to 8000 on the host while todo.app:8000 will directly point you to the VM and get what is running from the 8000 port of the VM.
You have a fixed IP address, so you can use http://192.168.10.10 to access your laravel
