Laravel Server keep starting and closing

Question

I am new to Laravel. After installing the composer this problem occurs. I change the port number to 1000 but nothing changed. So don't know what to do.

PS C:\xampp\htdocs\WebDev>php artisan view: clear //view clear                                                                       Compiled views cleared!
PS C:\xampp\htdocs\WebDev>php artisan serve

Answer 1

laravel custom port serve, for example, you want on the localhost:1000

php artisan serve --host=localhost --port=1000

sometimes you got an error, already port uses, for that you should kill process

you can kill php artisan of process

kilall php

that command make kill all PHP process also, you have other preference find a process which uses the port, and kill it for find process for which one port uses

sudo fuser -v -n tcp 8000

you can kill process as such

kill -9 <process-id>

and again call command php artisan serve --port=1000 shortly

php artisan serve --host=localhost --port=1000

Answer 2

I had the same issue and I think it's related to the port 8000. Maybe it's already in use or something like this because when I changed the port to 9000 (ie: php artisan server --port=9000) it solved the issue and works just fine now.
