How to run multiple Laravel projects at same time?

You can also run web server on multiple port in PHP application by the following command.

php -S localhost:8000 
php -S localhost:8080

First run your first laravel project blog as follows: Open your command prompt and go to your drive where your laravel project exist. And type php artisan serve

C:\xampp\htdocs\blog>php artisan serve

Now type http://localhost:8000 in browser and your blog project will run.

Again open another command prompt and again go to your another laravel project bloganother

C:\xampp\htdocs\bloganother>php artisan serve --port=8080

Now go to your browser and type http://localhost:8080 in your browser your another project will also run.


tl;dr one cannot have more than one listener per TCP port at the same time. If you need more web server instances: try another port:

php artisan serve --port=8001

then go to http://localhost:8001
