Laravel socialite error 404

Question

I followed this tutorial on how to use socialite -> https://laracasts.com/series/whats-new-in-laravel-5/episodes/9

This is what I've done:

• Added to my composer.json

  "laravel/socialite": "^2.0", "laravelcollective/html": "5.1.*@dev"

• Added to my app.php

  providers

  Laravel\Socialite\SocialiteServiceProvider::class, Collective\Html\HtmlServiceProvider::class,

  aliases

  'Socialite' => Laravel\Socialite\Facades\Socialite::class, 'Form' => Collective\Html\FormFacade::class, 'Html' => Collective\Html\HtmlFacade::class,

• Added to services.php

'github' => [ 'client_id' => 'myid', 'client_secret' => 'mysecret', 'redirect' => 'http://inspectorhost.app/login', ],

• Added to routes.php

   Route::get('/', function () {
     if (Auth::check()) return 'Welcome back, ' . Auth::user()->username;
  
    return 'Hi guest. ' . link_to('login', 'Login with Github!');
       });
  
    Route::get('login', 'AuthController@login');
  

• Created an AuthController and added

  class AuthController extends Controller { public function login(){ return \Socialite::with('github')->redirect(); } }

I'm using nginx and I set it up so it doesn't need to use the public folder to acccess the web

   root home/inspectorhost.app/public_html/public/;

So when I click on 'Login with Github', instead of sending me to Github to authorize the login, it sends me to /login and gives me a 404 error.

EDIT Now it gets interesting... when I go to http://inspectorhost.app and click in 'Login with Github' I get the error from above (404) however if I run php artisan serve and I access the app from localhost:8000 it works... so I guess it might be some misconfiguration on nginx?

Any help is appreciated.
