How can I access my Laravel app from another PC?

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?

I have this set up in the office so that other users can get on to our developer system,

  1. Don't worry about running serve with a host and port, run it like you normally would through your xampp.
  2. List item Set up their host file with 192.168.1.101 Laravel.site (make sure your internal IP hasn't changed)
  3. One of the problems I have encountered is your Windows firewall blocking traffic through port 80 internally, so you may have to allow xampp in your local firewall

Hope this helps :)

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.

  1. Find your machine local IP:

ifconfig

  1. 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

  1. Browse form other computer:

192.168.1.70:8080

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

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

  1. 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>

  2. 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>

  3. 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>

  4. Restart all your apache services

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

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

Follow the steps:

  1. Go to your project's root directory within command line.
  2. 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.
