Have you tried specifying the port when running the command?
php artisan serve --port=8001

Serve multiple laravel apps on localhost with php artisan serve
Hi everybody, I'd like to be able to serve more than one laravel app at the same time on different tabs/ports, this is so I can showcase various designs, sadly when I run php artisan serve I can get only one app running at a time on port 8000.
Even after updating to laravel 5.8, form the docs:
Artisan Serve Improvements
In previous releases of Laravel, Artisan's serve command would serve your application on port 8000. If another serve command process was already listening on this port, an attempt to serve a second application via serve would fail. Beginning in Laravel 5.8, serve will now scan for available ports up to port 8009, allowing you to serve multiple applications at once.
Is there anything I'm missing?

As wilk_randall mentioned that you can use the parameter --port=<<port_number>> when running php artisan serve, beside you can use --host=<<host_name / host_ip>> as well.
But, if you in machine, you probably may consider Laravel Valet, it is much more easy for you to work on multiple projects.

If you're on windows, you can Laragon which works similar to valet and works really well. I use it for my own development.

note that php's server (the thing behind artisan serve) only handles a single connection at once
This means it is unsuitable for testing api between two websites ( if that is why you want it to serve multiple websites at the same time),

Just install a wamp stack I use bitnami works perfect.

This is a PHP built in server.
