How do we set a custom port for test server?
Normally when we do
php artisan serve
the folder gets served as :
localhost:8000
How do could we access one folder as:
localhost:8080
I want to access two different development sites on my localhost.
For port 8080:
php artisan serve --port=8080
And if you want to run it on port 80, you probably need to sudo:
sudo php artisan serve --port=80
as this example you can change ip and port this works with me
php artisan serve --host=0.0.0.0 --port=8000
One can specify the port with: php artisan serve --port=8080
.
Andreas' answer above was helpful in solving my problem of how to test artisan on port 80. Port 80 can be specified like the other port numbers, but regular users do not have permissions to run anything on that port.
Drop a little common sense on there and you end up with this for Linux:
sudo php artisan serve --port=80
This will allow you to test on localhost without specifying the port in your browser. You can also use this to set up a temporary demo, as I have done.
Keep in mind, however, that PHP's built in server is not designed for production. Use nginx/Apache for production.
You can use
php artisan serve --port 80
Works on Windows platform
