Cannot get Homestead and Laravel working - laravel

Question

I am getting 403 Forbidden when going to homestead.app but it works with homestead.app/public
---
ip: "192.168.10.10"
memory: 2048
cpus: 1
provider: virtualbox
authorize: ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub
keys:
- ~/.ssh/id_rsa
folders:
- map: ~/Desktop
to: /home/vagrant/Desktop
type: "nfs"
sites:
- map: valiant.dev
to: /home/vagrant/Desktop/Laravel
databases:
- homestead
Any help with this would be greatly appreciated, I am about to give up and go back to codeigniter.

Update your homestead.yaml file on .homestead folder to this
ip: "192.168.10.10"
memory: 2048
cpus: 1
provider: virtualbox
authorize: ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub
keys:
- ~/.ssh/id_rsa
folders:
- map: ~/Desktop/Code
to: /home/vagrant/Code
sites:
- map: valiant.app
to: /home/vagrant/Code/public
databases:
- homestead
Mapping folders syncing
folders:
- map: ~/Desktop/Code
to: /home/vagrant/Code
This means that we are going to sync the Desktop/Code folder and /home/vagrant/Code folder so that files are updated on both folders.
Mapping website
sites:
- map: valiant.app
to: /home/vagrant/Code/public
This means whenever you are going to hit valiant.app folder it will check /home/vagrant/Code/public path
Updating Hosts
When you have successfully configured the above one, do vim /etc/hosts and add the following line to the file
192.168.10.10 valiant.dev
Reloading Vagrant
Once you have done all the above mentioned tasks, cd into the Homestead directory on home folder and do the following
vagrant reload --provision
above command will create(if doesn't exist already) on vagrant machine and map them according. Now do
vagrant up
That should get you working.
