Answer 1

Actually I was using WAMP before installing homestead. So I uninstalled both i.e. wamp and homestead setup including vagrant and virtual box. Then I installed homestead setup again and it worked. I dont know the logic behind but maybe wamp and homestead were conflicting. It worked so I posted the answer.

Answer 2

What I needed to do to get my local Laravel up and running:

• use 127.0.0.1 rather than 192.168.10.10 in my hosts file
• make sure the .env file had the correct hostname listed as the APP_URL
• make sure to use the :8000 port to access the site

Additionally:

• if you're adding multiple sites, make sure to run vagrant provision after adding each site to your Homestead.yaml
• not sure if it makes a difference, but you might want to put a space after the colon for the map command, i.e. map: ao.dev
• I did not need to add hostname or name elements to Homestead.yaml
