Laravel localhost:8000 keeps on loading without any error or proper output

If you're using Xampp it should just be http://localhost without the port.

If you use localhost without the port it will redirect you to localhost/dashboard

You can do something like http://localhost/yourlaraveldir/public to go to your actual app.

Alternitivley you could use https://laragon.org/ as your local server and it will automatically setup domains like yourapp.oo in both the HOSTS and httpd.conf file whenever you create a new laravel app.

Object not found

Laravel project are not in Xampp/htdocs

If they are not there. Share your actual setup. Using Xampp you would put your projects in the htdocs folder and serve them from that directory.

Have you started

php artisan serve

You need to do that to get to localhost:8000

Yes of course I did it in my terminal

Laravel development server started: http://127.0.0.1:8000

Nothing else but in browser it keeps reloading

I don't personally use artisan serve. Have used Xampp and if it is running could be causing a conflict.

I would also try running

netstat -an

To see if anything else is running on port 8000 to find a conflict.

Then after

I'm currently having this issue, any solutions

Hello, try to use this command.

 D:\xampp\htdocs\your-app>php -S localhost:8000 -t public/

Then after, run again in your browser

  localhost:8000

Hope it helps :)
