I'm using apache on Mac os x, laravel 5.2 and my project is currently running on localhost:8000, I want to change this to laravel.dev Or start a new project with the project-name.dev url. How can I do this ?
I would recommend you install Laravel Valet
https://laravel.com/docs/5.4/valet
It will automatically enable project-name.dev for each project you create in the specified directory. It makes starting new projects a breeze.
You have to change the hosts file for this. You can set the mappings right in your hosts file. You can read more about it here Hosts File & Why to use it ?

I m newly working on laravel.
I created laravel project named as "blog" on localhost and for removing public/index.php, I followed following process :
cut and pasted .htaccess from public/ folder to root i.e. blog
Renamed the server.php to index.php
Then I created a test api in api.php route and echoed "Hello World".
Now when I go to project path from my localhost server like:
localhost/Blog/api/test then its work properly.
But when I run same on a server like 192.101.111.555,like :
192.101.111.555/Blog/api/test then it showing NOT FOUND.
I am not getting how can I resolve this. And why its working fine on localhost but not working on server ?
You rename server.php but not recommend. This file copy then rename
Yes, if you have done those settings you will not be able to properly access on the localhost by running php artisan serve. So for this, you can install xampp and do the virtual host settings. Check more info at
How to enable Virtual Host on Xampp for Laravel?.
On the benefit of this is that you don't have to run the php artisan serve command again and again.
I have created a laravel 5.0 project with php artisan serve, now i need to know how to run laravel 5.0 project run without start php artisan serve, i have already browse lot of websites no one help me..
You need to change "server.php" to "index.php" then copy ".htaccess" from public to root directory.
See: https://stackoverflow.com/a/30053989/3948755
Laravel sever Folder is "public". There is an index.php so you can run you project from there.
Suppose if you using UbuntuOS then you have to create your local server in public directory. Suppose your folder name is laravel_test then go in that directory and run some thing like this
php -S localhost:8000 -t public
If you using windows then access public folder from URL.
localhost/laravel/public
Actually it's bad practise to access folder from URL but for local its good. You also can go with host entry. Just make sure that your target folder is "public" directory.
Normally you would have WAMP/XAMPP installed. You can access Laravel project like below
localhost/laravel/public
But this is not recommended. You should create Virtual host for example
laravel.local that pints to server-root/laravel/public.
this is how you create virtual host.
Or even better go for a Laravel Homestead .
How is your .htaccess file configured?
Try with localhost/laravel/public/index.php
Use http://localhost/projectName/public
It will be work. but in case if you have another Route and you can not access that Route and get the error like " Page Not Found " then please use the following command
sudo a2enmod rewrite
Now open the http://localhost/projectName/public/yourRoute
This is a little late but still applicable, what I like to do (using ubuntu 14.x+) is put my laravel project (let's say Project1) in my var directory, so it would be in /var/Project1, then symlink the public folder to somewhere in /var/www(+/html depending on apache version).
Symlink can be done something like this:
ln -s /var/Project1/public /var/www/html
This keeps your internal files off the grid so to speak, this is untested so if I've missed anything just comment and I will amend this post.
EDIT:
Obviously if your http root is /var/www/html you can put your project in /var/www/Project1
If you have access to xampp or wampp on your operating system you can more or less configure your virtual host like in the instruction below:
https://bestin-it.com/creating-virtualhost-on-your-local-computer-to-start-simple-index-php/
This instruction shows how to run it locally on your PC, but it works generally the same on any hosting portals. In most case in payed portals you have any web panels to configure your public folder that reference to /public folder in laravel folder's structure.
Just installed Lumen framework.
hit the link http://localhost/lumen/public/ in my browser and got this following error, anyone got any idea about it?
Traced it back to the app.php file in bootstrap folder.
if You want to access lumen project without "php artisan serve"
$app->run(); replace with
$request = Illuminate\Http\Request::capture();
$app->run($request);
from this path yourlumenproject/public/index.php
Open your terminal in the root folder run the following command php artisan serve.
Lumen development server started on http://localhost:8000/
if you want to serve your app in local development you can do this :
php -S localhost:8000 -t public/
and it will serve in localhost in port 8000. hope this help.
Note : I'm using Laravel Framework version Lumen (5.2.4) (Laravel Components 5.2.*)
At the moment Lumen only runs in the domain root.
(I've submitted a PR that fixes this but it has yet to be merged)
You have to create a Virtual Host on your local webserver and point the document root of that to the public directory. After that you can access your app with something like: http://lumen.dev.

A simple alternative to setting this up manually is Laravel Homestead. It is an official Vagrant box made for Laravel, that allows you to easily get your development environment up and running.
I am using Ubuntu 14.04LTS. Here is what i have done till now:
I have installed composer using curl,
move this composer.phar file to usr/local/bin directory
Created project laravel in my root folder i.e. var/www/html
Change the permission of app/storage folder.
Created the file name as laravel.conf like 000-default.conf in etc/apache2/site-avaliable directory.
edit that laravel.conf file from terminal and save that file.
disable 000-default.conf file and enable laravel.conf file.
restarted the apache2 service.
Here is my problem: now i am trying to run it from my localhost but it does not show index.php page of my project laravel.
Any help to sort this, will be highly appreciated.
Laravel builds its own output based on your controllers, generally utilizing view files (blades) as templates. Unless you specifically tell it to in your controller, it will not return a static or dynamic index.php page. If this is your first Laravel project, I recommend reading up on how routing works at http://laravel.com/docs/5.0/routing .
I am using Laravel homestead. For a project I need a special vhost configuration, where should I define this?
You add a new folder mapping into the "sites" block of Homestead.yml, like so:
- map: myapp.com
to: /home/vagrant/Code/myapp/public
That's all there is to adding a new vhost. To modify it, edit the appropriate file in /etc/nginx/sites-available. In the above case, this would be /etc/nginx/sites-available/myapp.com
See here for example customization of a newly added vhost. Note that the quick tip linked here uses Homestead Improved, a slightly enhanced version of Homestead, as described here.
More Homestead related posts can be found on our site via the Homestead tag.
I have been looking for a solution for customizing nginx vhosts. You want to do it in provisioning, or better: after provisioning otherwise Homestead will overwrite any changes you have done manually to the vhost files.
One solution is the one I found here:
https://laracasts.com/discuss/channels/requests/homestead-provision-deletes-custom-nginx-settings
Basically you create configuration files in a folder in the host machine, map that extra folder to the vagrant machine, then in your after.sh file (which is run by homestead after the normal provisioning is finished) you just copy all of them to nginx's sites_available folder.
