Laravel failed to listen on 127.0.0.1:8000 (reason ?)

Question

So I just created a new project using the command:

laravel new blog

Then I started by changing the directory and do the command

php artisan serve

And this is what happened, more details:

1. I'm using Laravel 8.0.1
2. I haven't run any command except the one I listed above
3. I'm using Windows
4. I even updated the PHP to 7.4.10

---

I'm not sure why this is happening, but I'm encountering an issue when using the command:

php -S localhost:8000 -t public

Answer 1

I had this problem too, and I solved it in this way:

set: php.ini

variables_order = "GPCS"

Answer 2

I came across the same issue. This was how how I solved mine:

1. Goto the main PHP part, I mean the installed PHP from official website.
2. Look out for a folder named php.ini-development
3. Duplicate this file.
4. Then rename the copy to php.ini
5. Go back to your laravel project folder and rerun php artisan serve
