it's working now I just changed the listen port from 8000 to 8888 or any other port your services didn't use it
'php artisan serve --port="8888"'
Php Solutions
Solution 1 - Php
Fixing Error: Failed to listen on localhost:8000 (reason: Address already in use)
List processes with php in it
ps -ef | grep php
Example output
501 **9347** 393 0 1:29PM ttys000 0:00.21 php artisan serve
501 9351 **9347** 0 1:29PM ttys000 0:02.01 /usr/local/php5-5.6.14-20151002-085853/bin/php -S localhost:8000 .../laravel/server.php
501 9781 393 0 1:56PM ttys000 0:00.00 grep php
Then kill the process
kill -9 9347
Solution 2 - Php
Are there any other services running on port 8000?
You can use this command on Windows:
netstat -aon | more
or on Linux / OSX
sudo netstat -plnt
to see what services are running. Then disable the service that is running on port 8000 or use another port.
Solution 3 - Php
List process using ps -ef | grep php
Then below only works for me
kill -9 9347
which is a force kill of the process
501 9347 393 0 1:29PM ttys000 0:00.21 php artisan serve
Option 2:
If above not works, Change the default laravel serve port number if you can, like
php artisan serve --port=8088
Solution 4 - Php
8000 is the default port. Use instead of :
php artisan serve --port=8005
Solution 5 - Php
It is because something already running on that port and you can change the port by command itself, by running following command
php artisan serve --port 8001
Solution 6 - Php
Use killall -9 php and if you want to close other services use killall -9 node or killall -9 mysql
Solution 7 - Php
When php artisan serve command given, below mentioned problem occured. >macridmi1109@Ridmis-MacBook-Pro kcnk % php artisan serve
>Laravel development server started on http://localhost:8000/
>[Thu Aug 6 11:31:10 2020] Failed to listen on localhost:8000 (reason: Address already in use)
Then try this line of code, >macridmi1109@Ridmis-MacBook-Pro project_laravel % ps -ef | grep php
Result will be,
> 501 66167 1 0 11:24am ttys002 0:00.77 /usr/bin/php -S localhost:8000 /Users/macridmi1109/Documents/Laravel/project_laravel/server.php
> 501 66268 64261 0 11:31am ttys002 0:00.00 grep php
Finally run the below code and, then again php artisan serve >macridmi1109@Ridmis-MacBook-Pro project_laravel % kill 66167
SOLUTION EXPLAINED BELOW
I use the command, ps -ef | grep php. After that, you will be able to find Process ID. After recognising the correct Process ID, use this command kill 66167 (kill "Process ID"). Then try php artisan serve. This worked for me.
Happy Coding

For me, it was silly mistake. I have installed php in new machine but php.ini was missing. So, I have created php.ini file from php.ini-production file and then php artisan serve command worked fine as expected.
Solution 9 - Php
for me php -S localhost:8080 from the terminal in vs code will sometimes crash, but still be running in the background.
-9 to force kill did it for me thanks @hemss
I did
php -S localhost:8080
[Wed Dec 12 13:48:03 2018] Failed to listen on localhost:8080(reason: Address already in use)
then I..
sudo netstat -plnt
find the process running on port 8080
tcp 2 0 127.0.0.1:8080 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 10312/php
then force kill it..
kill -9 10312
I get
[1] + 10312 killed php -S localhost:8080
then restart...
php -S localhost:8080
Solution 10 - Php
best way if you 8000 port is busy or you have more one project running is run your project in new port such as 8088 or another free port.
php artisan serve --port=8088
Solution 11 - Php
The solution I found a problem we face several times in Ubuntu.
*Failed to listen on 127.0.0.1:8000 (reason: Address already in use)*
What we do, we change the port, right?
This problem can be solved also in few seconds following below steps.
1. Open Terminal
2. **sudo su**
3. **netstat -plnt**
_find the process running on port 8080_
4. **kill -9 PROCESSNUMBER**

Solution 12 - Php
If you have all your configurations ok in the .env file then you should:
Use the answer from mayorsanmayor in this post to kill all php processes. Then php artisan config:clear
Finally, php artisan serve
Good luck!
