How can I access my Laravel app from another PC?

php artisan serve --host=0.0.0.0 --port=8000

Find the Local IP Address of Your Host PC:
- Open a terminal or command prompt on the PC hosting your Laravel app.
- Run the following command to find the local IP address:
- On Windows:
```
ipconfig
```
- On macOS or Linux:
```
ifconfig
```
- Look for the IP address in the output (it will usually be in the format 192.168.x.x).
Serve Your Laravel Application:
- In the terminal or command prompt, navigate to your Laravel application’s directory.
- Serve the application using Artisan, specifying the host IP address and port:
```
php artisan serve --host=0.0.0.0 --port=8000
```
- This command makes the Laravel development server accessible from any IP address on your local network.
Allow Firewall Access (if necessary):
- If your host PC has a firewall, ensure that it allows traffic on the specified port (e.g., 8000).
Access from Another PC:
- On the other PC, open a web browser.
- Enter the URL of the Laravel app using the host PC’s IP address and the specified port:
```
http://<host_pc_ip>:8000
```
- Replace <host_pc_ip> with the actual IP address of the host PC.

If your host PC’s IP address is 192.168.1.100 and you’re serving the app on port 8000, the URL to access from another PC would be:

http://192.168.1.100:8000

Ensure both PCs are connected to the same local network.
Check if any antivirus or additional firewall software might be blocking the connection.
If you need to access the app from outside your local network, consider setting up port forwarding on your router and using a service like Ngrok.
