Empty HTML pages in browser

[Bobby Walters]

Hello,

I've been having problems with Vagrant VM rendering empty HTML pages in browser. I have just created a fresh, empty Laravel project and tried to access it. Even that gives me an empty HTML page. Has anyone experienced this? What could be causing it? Any help would be appreciated! Thank you!

Hi Bobby,

My guess is this isn't a Vagrant problem, but I'm not sure because your problem statement is too vague. So it would be very helpful to make it more precise.

Are you familiar with the curl command? Instead of trying to access your webpage with a browser, use curl and post the output.

E.g. run curl against google.com

`curl -Iv http://google.com` produces the following output,

```

$ curl -Iv http://google.com

*   Trying 172.217.164.238...

* TCP_NODELAY set

* Connected to google.com (172.217.164.238) port 80 (#0)

> HEAD / HTTP/1.1

> Host: google.com

> User-Agent: curl/7.64.1

> Accept: */*

So similar to my example, your Laravel VM provides a website (just like google), if you hit the website with curl what is the output?
