Laravel: Error displaying localhost:8000 on browser

Question

When I try to start Laravel artisan on a Command-line using php artisan serve, it works because I get the "Laravel development server started on http://localhost:8000/".

However, when I try to run 'localhost:8000' on my web browser, I get this error:

"Warning: Unknown: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in Unknown on line 0

Fatal error: Unknown: Failed opening required 'C:\xampp\htdocs\laravel\laravel/server.php' (include_path='.;C:\xampp\php\PEAR') in Unknown on line 0"

Answer 1

In your project folder, the server.php file is missing so you got this error

The solution will to create another project then copy the newly created server.php this will solve it.

Another Solution is:

1. Open the link: https://github.com/laravel/laravel/blob/master/server.php
2. Copy all code
3. Open Notepad and paste your copy code
4. save Notepad file and set name server.php
5. Copy the server.php file and paste it inside your Laravel project

Run your project again in browser Now you will not get an error and the Laravel project will work properly.
