Made for those tired of running php artisan serve locally. Examples with XAMPP and Laragon. Should work for other PHP frameworks too.

Steps

1. Place your Laravel projects in your web server directory:

# XAMPP C:\xampp\htdocs\project1

# Laragon C:\laragon\www\project1

Enter fullscreen mode

Exit fullscreen mode

2. Open httpd.conf and add:

# XAMPP Listen 8001 < VirtualHost *:8001 > DocumentRoot "C:/xampp/htdocs/project1/public" < Directory "C:/xampp/htdocs/project1/public" > AllowOverride All Require all granted </ Directory > </ VirtualHost > # Laragon Listen 8001 < VirtualHost *:8001 > DocumentRoot "C:/laragon/www/project1/public" < Directory "C:/laragon/www/project1/public" > AllowOverride All Require all granted </ Directory > </ VirtualHost >

Enter fullscreen mode

Exit fullscreen mode

3. Uncomment if not already:

LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so Include conf/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf

Enter fullscreen mode

Exit fullscreen mode
