For previous versions of Laravel, you can simply download laravel with composer in the root folder of your apache server and type in http://localhost/public/
to see the "You've arrived" homepage.
I know I can use php artisan serve
to view the Laravel5 default home page, but it is run on localhost:8000
and I heard that php artisan serve
command should not be used in production due to the limit of connection and the bad performance. Is there a way I can see the default home page without using the php artisan serve
command?
And it is really frustrating that Laravel is not including such simple thing in their installation documentation....
