Made for those tired of running php artisan serve locally. Examples with XAMPP and Laragon. Should work for other PHP frameworks too.

Steps

1. Place your Laravel projects in your web server directory:

# XAMPP
C:\xampp\htdocs\project1

# Laragon
C:\laragon\www\project1

2. Open httpd.conf and add:

# XAMPP
Listen 8001
<VirtualHost *:8001>
    DocumentRoot "C:/xampp/htdocs/project1/public"
    <Directory "C:/xampp/htdocs/project1/public">
        AllowOverride All
        Require all granted
    </Directory>
</VirtualHost>

# Laragon
Listen 8001
<VirtualHost *:8001>
    DocumentRoot "C:/laragon/www/project1/public"
    <Directory "C:/laragon/www/project1/public">
        AllowOverride All
        Require all granted
    </Directory>
</VirtualHost>

3. Uncomment if not already:

LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so
Include conf/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf

4. Restart Apache, then access via browser:

http://10.198.210.184       → Project 1
http://10.198.210.184:8001  → Project 2
http://10.198.210.184:8002  → Project 3

# or use localhost:port

FAQ

Can't access it? Check:

Firewall → Allow incoming connections on ports 80, 8001, 8002
403 Forbidden → Ensure AllowOverride All and Require all granted are set, check folder permissions
Routes not working → Ensure mod_rewrite is enabled, verify DocumentRoot points to the public folder
