Why command "php artisan serve" not working
composer update
This will update and export directories and files and then run the below command :
php artisan serve
or you can also try this on your terminal:
php -S localhost:8000 -t public/
try to execute the command : composer update
.
It will update and export all the directorys/files that u need.
because sometimes when u clone/download a repository from github .. there are pretty much directorys/files that are not present (not exportable .. present in .gitignor).
then try : php artisan serve
.
it works for me
Try this also
php -S 127.0.0.1:8000 -t public/
