Im upgrading from laravel 7 to laravel 8 and Im trying to make a http request to a laravel API hosted locally. If I use http://localhost or http://127.0.0.1, the requests give a response. But if I use a http://192.168.x.x address, I get an error Error: connect ECONNREFUSED. How do I use http://192.168.x.x ?
Access Laravel project over a network using IP
1- Identify your IP Address
on windows ipconfig
on linux ifconfig
2-Run your project php artisan serve --host=192.168.1.10 --port=8000
3-Access your project via browser (on remote)
Possible Issues:
If your firewall is enabled, remote system might me blocked access. – for this, you can either disable firewall completey on your local system – or, enable certain port In linux to allow a port
ufw status ufw enable 8000
