Laravel Application Displays List of Files Instead of "Hello Page"

Question

I've just started working with Laravel 5, but I've been unable to show the classic Hello page yet; I only see a listing of my application files.

I've tried to change my .htaccess file, clear my cache, create a new app, but to no avail. I know PHP works fine on my server, it's only this one Laravel application that can't seem to handle it. This seems like I'm missing some obvious thing, but I don't know enough to know what I should be asking.

Here's a screenshot to demonstrate what I see:

and here's the command I used to created the app

 $ laravel new m6g

I'm working on a Mac with the stock apache2 (not set with mamp)

Answer 1

Have you tried to mount your app from the terminal?

First, go to the folder on the terminal using cd and

Then run the following command:

php artisan serve

then you will be able to access your app from http://localhost:8888
