NGINX returns Bad Gateway because the FPM is not running. Have you seen this error messages: `[04-Apr-2021 11:20:10] ERROR: failed to open configuration file '/usr/local/etc/php/8.0/php-fpm.conf': No such file or directory (2) [04-Apr-2021 11:20:10] ERROR: failed to load configuration file '/usr/local/etc/php/8.0/php-fpm.conf' [04-Apr-2021 11:20:10] ERROR: FPM initialization failed`. Check your FPM setup first. — Timo Stark, Apr 04 '21 at 17:48
I figured out missing files but I can't create it like php-fpm.log and so on can you help with link to setup it at Big Sur or uninstall it and install fresh setup — Mohammed Alama, Apr 05 '21 at 08:55

You are using Mac OS right? sudo brew services list shows php error root, so it seems like php-fpm is failing to start.
I had a similar problem, but I found this github issue: https://github.com/laravel/valet/issues/269

At first, I changed php version of valet by:

$ valet use php@8.0
$ sudo brew services stop php
$ brew services stop php
$ valet install

Then, following the comment of yratof of the github issue, I copied /usr/local/etc/php/8.0/php-fpm.d/valet-fpm.conf to /usr/local/etc/php/8.0/php-fpm.conf. Then run:

$ valet install
$ valet restart

Then check the php's status again by

$ sudo brew services list

If php's error is removed, I think valet will work properly.

Valet is not working with php.8 Nginx return Bad Gateway
