server taking too much time to start a port


I am using Ubuntu 14.04 and I am trying to install Laravel framework. In this purpose I have run this code in terminal:

php artisan serve

After waiting for 4-5 minutes I got this response:

Laravel development server started on http://localhost:8000/

[Tue May 26 13:19:40 2015] 127.0.0.1:44800 [200]: /favicon.ico

[Tue May 26 13:19:40 2015] 127.0.0.1:44801 [200]: /favicon.ico

After waiting for more than 10 minutes I got no more response although terminal is working.

Does it really take that much time? Or what's wrong?


Solution

  • then, what can I do? although port 8000 has been started, localhost:8000 shows that, Sorry, the page you are looking for could not be found.

    You need to stop the server and run this command which specifies the public directory php -S localhost:8000 -t public/ as the root document root

    or
    you can also cd into your laravelProject/public then php -S localhost:8000
