Create .bat to run php artisan serve

Hi, is what I am asking possible. I tried this.

@ECHO OFF
cd C:\Users\Josh\Desktop\Files\websites\T-Tobacco
php artisan serve
PAUSE

Level 73

Yes it is possible.

Level 33

It's possible, your batch file should be working as long as:

The path provided to the cd command is valid ("C:\Users\Josh\Desktop\Files\websites\T-Tobacco")
You have set up the laravel project in the folder provided ("T-Tobacco"), which includes running composer install
PHP is installed and added to your windows Path variable

What problem are you having? (you can temporarily remove the @echo off line so you have better output for troubleshooting purposes).

PS: The pause command shouldn't be required since the window will remain open until you stop the server with Control+C.

Please or to participate in this conversation.
