How to run Multiple project of laravel 5 in one folder

Question

I installed Laravel and run through php artisan serve. It runs one project for one instance. Like http://localhost/index.php

But I want to run multiple project on one instance of laravel like : http://localhost/project_1_name/index.php http://localhost/project_2_name/index.php

Answer 1

In default, Laravel use the port 8000, so just change the port when you run the server in every project. Exp:

For first project:

php artisan serve

In browser you access with:

localhost:8000/project1

For second project:

php artisan serve --port=8050

In browser you access with:

localhost:8050/project2

Answer 2

yes you can run multiple projects but with different ports. look into this link Multiple laravel projects at same time

Answer 3

You should install valet

easiest and minified web server to user

composer global require laravel/valet
