localhost:8000

How do could we access one folder as:

Hii @kartik,

When we use the

php artisan serve 

it will start with the default HTTP-server port mostly it will be 8000 when we want to run the more site in the localhost we have to change the port. Just add the --port argument:

php artisan serve --port=8081

Hope this works!!

Thank you!
