local deployment

Hello,

I would like to deploy my application locally and have access to it as if it were hosted online. I installed Apache to try but I find no solution. To get access I have to launch the application from htdocs with php artisan serve and then with localhost: 8000. Even when I create a virtualhost to access http: // myapplication /, it does not work.

In conclusion I would like to have access to my application locally without command prompt.

Thank you.

Thank you for answer but I do not want to use wamp, laragon, ... I want to mount an environment as on the hosting sites.

@kharris you will have to use an application server in order to achieve that. What php artisan serve is the same.. it starts a serve that serves your application through the localhost.
