I installed a new Laravel instance, using version 5.8. Along the way, I found out that I can't serve the project using the normal Laravel php artisan serve command.
After some research with lots of trial and error, I came across this answer on StackOverflow that helped me with this method php -S localhost:8000 -t public/ with which I followed to change the port to port 9000, and it served the project perfectly.
Now my question is how can I go about getting the artisan command to be the default command to serve and rum my Laravel 5.8 on Windows just like before? I don't know anything about configuring Laravel core commands.
php artisan serve?5.8version in case of a port conflict is to try a different port from8000up to8009. So, at least you have those ports full the problem must be somewhere else. Please, use the-vvvoption and provide the error you get.
