Laravel Valet share - Failed to connect to 127.0.0.1 port 4040: Connection refused

Question

I have Valet setup and running fine on a Laravel project. I can visit mysite.test and the project loads as it should. However, when I run the command valet share I get a "Failed to connect to 127.0.0.1 port 4040: Connection refused" error.

I've tried updating composer, updating homebrew and re-installed valet but the error message still persists. If I run brew services list the following services are all showing as running;

dnsmasq   started root /Library/LaunchDaemons/homebrew.mxcl.dnsmasq.plist
[email protected] started root /Library/LaunchDaemons/[email protected]
nginx     started root /Library/LaunchDaemons/homebrew.mxcl.nginx.plist
php       started root /Library/LaunchDaemons/homebrew.mxcl.php.plist

I don't believe that Apache is running. I get the following error when I try to stop that service;

/System/Library/LaunchDaemons/org.apache.httpd.plist: Could not find specified service

The full error I receive after running valet share is below.

I believe that the PHP class warning is unrelated. Any help in trying to solve this would be appreciated.

Edit:

Running sudo brew services start --all to make sure all services have indeed started results in the following error;

/Library/LaunchDaemons/homebrew.mxcl.dnsmasq.plist: service already loaded
Error: Failure while executing; `/bin/launchctl bootstrap system /Library/LaunchDaemons/homebrew.mxcl.dnsmasq.plist` exited with 133.

Answer 1

After hours of debugging this finally solved the issue. Specifically 'symfony/polyfill-php72', 'symfony/var-dumper', 'tightenco/collect' updated during this process so the issue must have been with one of these packages. Every other package was loaded from the cache.

composer global remove laravel/valet

composer self-update

composer global require laravel/valet

valet install

valet restart

Answer 2

Found another solution:

brew install ngrok
cd ~/.composer/vendor/laravel/valet/bin
./ngrok authtoken [yourtoken]
cd [back to your laravel proj]
valet share
