How to revert php artisan serve command in laravel

Question

I have a laravel app. I ran 'php artisan serve' command for local testing and my app was served at localhost:8000. But now I want to stop serving it at localhost:8000 ie., I want it not to serve now.

I closed the command line, restarted the server but it is still serving. How can it be done?

Hello @kartik,

Press Ctrl + Shift + ESC. Locate the php process running artisan and kill it with right click -> kill process.

Reopen the command-line and start back the server.

Note that you should be able to kill the process just by sending it a kill signal with Ctrl + C.

Hope it helps!!
Thank you!!
