Try this:

php artisan serve --host 0.0.0.0 --port 80

Just make sure that the port is free.

It goes on to listen on default port `8000`. – Sachin Bahukhandi May 12 '20 at 14:49

While it’s acceptable to provide command-only answers, it’s often more useful for the community if you can also provide an explanation of the command and help people understand _why_ it addresses the problem. That can reduce the number of follow-up questions, and help new developers understand the underlying concepts. Would you mind updating your question with additional detail? – Jeremy Caney May 13 '20 at 00:05
