The tl;dr is that you need to edit your nginx config.

sudo nano /etc/ngingx/sites-enabled/whatever-you-call-your-app.com and change:

fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php5-fpm.sock;
To

fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php/php7.0-fpm.sock;
Then restart nginx:
sudo service nginx restart


Multiple site setip
I'm not sure which version om Homestead I'm running, but I can run as much sites I want, without changing anything to the Homestead.yaml file. I don't change any configuration file and don't need to reboot / provision homestead vagrant.

In the Homestead.yaml file, I added this mapping:

folders:
    - map: ~/Code
      to: /home/vagrant/Code
So every folder in my local Code directory is mapped to homestead. If I want to add a site I do: Add a new Laravel project to my Code directory, for example: ~/Code/newsite I start up homestead, ssh into it and run this command.

serve www.newsite.dev /home/vagrant/Code/newsite/public
Now add this domain to your host file, on OS X, use this command:

sudo nano /private/etc/hosts
Add the new domain:

192.168.10.10   www.newsite.dev
Enter www.newsite.dev in you browser, you should now get your newly installed website.

Instead of running Homestead provision etc goto Homestead/ and run vagrant destroy and vagrant up
