How can I access my Laravel app from another PC?

Php Problem Overview

I'm trying to access my Laravel app from another PC in the same network using IP address but I can't get it to work by accessing 192.168.1.101:8000 in my browser.

What should I do?

Php Solutions

Solution 1 - Php

Why don't you use Laravel's artisan for it? Very simple:

sudo php artisan serve --host 192.168.1.101 --port 80

Now from other computers, you can type: http://192.168.1.101

Do not forget to replace the IP with your own local one. That's it.

Note: The sudo is only needed if you wanna serve on port 80.

Solution 2 - Php

Access laravel using your IP address

php artisan serve --host 0.0.0.0

Now you can access laravel server by http://laravel-server-ip-address:8000

If you want to change the port as well then

php artisan serve --host 0.0.0.0 --port 8101

Now your laravel server is http://laravel-server-ip-address:8101

Solution 3 - Php

Go to httpd.conf in Apache folder and find the following lines:

DocumentRoot "c:/wamp/www"
<Directory "c:/wamp/www">
    # ...Stuffs in here
    Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
    # ...Stuffs in here
    AllowOverride All
    #
    # Controls who can get stuff from this server.
    #
    Require all granted
</Directory>

Then replace the last line within <Directory> tag for:

     Order Deny,Allow
     Deny from all
     Allow from 127.0.0.1
     Allow from ::1
     Allow from localhost
</Directory>

Add a virtual host for your laravel application, go to httpd-vhosts.conf and add the following lines:

<VirtualHost *:80>
    DocumentRoot "D:/.../your-laravel-app-path/public"
    ServerName yourservername.dev
    <Directory "D:/.../your-laravel-app-path/public">
        AllowOverride All
	    Order deny,allow
	    Allow from all
	    Require all granted
    </Directory>
</VirtualHost>

Restart all your apache services

This should do it, i'm using wamp on Windows and works for me.

Solution 4 - Php

Use this command in which ip address is ip-v4. Check ip-v4 from your wifi connection properties.

php artisan serve --host 192.168.10.15 --port 5000

Solution 5 - Php

Find your machine local IP:

> ifconfig

Go to project folder and type following command: > sudo php artisan serve --host your_ip --port your_port > > example: > > sudo php artisan serve --host 192.168.1.70 --port 8080
Browse form other computer:

> 192.168.1.70:8080

Solution 6 - Php

You can do it by using laravel's built in command php artisan serve.

Follow the steps:

Go to your project's root directory within command line.
run php artisan serve

If you still can't access port 8000 or it is already in use then run:

php artisan serve --port 8383

And it should listen on new port you provided. Also you can set other options for this command. Look for the help php artisan help serve.
