php artisan serve inexistent

Hi guys,

I want to play with Laravel 5 but php artisan serve seems to have vanished and I can't start my server. Anybody knows how to fix this?

Thanks!

It started the server but the following exception is thrown: ErrorException in compiled.php line 9612: Undefined index: _sf2_meta

I just saw the most recent tutorial about bower and in jeffrey's video is working. What could be the problem?

Yes indeed the server command has been removed from latest Artisan, but there is a very simple fix.

You can use:

php -S localhost:8000 -t public/

Or, create an alias

alias server="php -S localhost:8000 -t public/"

You can also change the port to something different as to not potentially collide with any Homestead servers

alias server="php -S localhost:8080 -t public/"

I liked this command it was easy and practical. Why remove it ? What is the idea behind this ?
