I got access to a php server on which an instance of Laravel is running. downloaded the entire folder and I now try to run the code base on my laptop. Running php artisan serve gives me an error saying:
[ErrorException]
chdir(): No such file or directory (errno 2)
This SO answer says that the public folder cannot be found, and indeed, there is no `public folder. But I have no idea how it can then function on the server it is running on.
Does anybody know what I can do to get this running? All tips are welcome!
Generally speaking, the public directory need not be in the same directory as that of your laravel installation. It only serves as the document root for your webserver. As such it can be moved elsewhere (although there's no pragmatic reason for this) on your filesystem.

I am fairly new to docker, please bear with me if its a basic question. I have a laravel project on a server, the project is dockerized. What I want to do is move a file from my project to another location on the same server that is not dockerized.
So, my project is setup on /var/www/my-project directory and I want to copy a file from my-project/storage/app/public/file.csv to /var/{destination_folder}. How can I do that in laravel? I think my issue is not related to laravel it is related to docker which is not allowing to move files out of it. Please don't add laravel or php file copy code snippets,I have tried plenty.
What I've tried?
1- I have tried copying file using:
Storage::disk('local')->put('/var/{destination_folder}', 'my-project/storage/app/public/file.csv' )
but, it does not copy the file.
2- I have also tried moving the file using bash script which I'm executing from my laravel controller using shell_exec or process but, it is also not working.
cp "/var/www/my-project/storage/app/public/file.csv" "/var/destination_folder"
What's hapening in this solution is that it is working when I run the command from terminal, but its not working when I call it from my controller and it gives me
cp: cannot create regular file '/var/destination_folder/file.csv': No such file or directory
After googling the above error it seemed that this is a permission issue wo, I changed the permission of the destination folder to 775 and I also checked the user from which I was running the laravel app and it gave me root when I ran whoami from the app.
Let me know how this could be achieved, thank you!
The entire point of docker is that it is isolated from the base host. You cannot simply copy the file out, as the docker host does not have access to any disk that is not mounted.
The easiest option is to create a destination directory and create a bind mount as per https://docs.docker.com/storage/bind-mounts/
You would then use the following argument for your docker run:
--mount type=bind,source=/var/destination_folder,target=/some_directory_inside_your_docker and copy the file to some_directory_inside_your_docker and it will appear in the parent host.
Another option is to generate a user account on the parent host, LOCK IT DOWN HARD for security reasons, and then have a private key inside your docker that would allow your docker to SSH to the parent host (note, this won't work with every network configuration). I don't think it's a good idea when you can do bind mounts, but it would work.
I have installed laravel by composer create-project laravel/laravel –-prefer-dist
after this run php artisan serve command to laravel project directory and get this result.
Laravel development server started: http://127.0.0.1:8000
But when i go to http://127.0.0.1:8000 in browser laravel project not running and give error
This site can’t be reached
127.0.0.1 refused to connect.
but http://localhost/laravel/public/ it is working. Can anyone tell me that what is proper way to run this laravel project.
Try to run in different port
php artisan serve --port=9000
and then try http://127.0.0.1:9000 will work.
As might be on port 8000 something already running on your system will not make it work.
And you can also run your laravel project without artisan serve command
If anyone wants to make the application public, the more easy and fastest way is:
Rename the "server.php" file in root directory, in "index.php"
Move your .htaccess from public folder to root directory
Make your directory accessible to Apache2 (set all file permissions
to 777).
At starting level, you can use url like this http://127.0.0.1:8000 with port-number. but in further level you must working with simple url like http://localhost/laravel/public/.
One more thing - you should remove "public" keyword from url, so you access direct your root-project. Review this link - Laravel 5 - Remove public from URL
I had that problem too! And couldn't solve it. So I installed openserver from https://ospanel.io/ and put my site on the folder domains (Windows 10), then I just start Open Server and click "My Sites" and choose my site - it opened in my browser which set by default on Open Server program and click the folder on my browser cooled "public" and there you go -> your site is working.
I now that isn't solve the problem with cmd and start thought cmd and server like http://127.0.0.1:8000, but you can take access to your local site through http://'your site'/public/'your pages'
Good luck!
Changing the port will help.
php artisan serve --port=9000
worked for me
Try this
php -S 127.0.0.2:8000 -t public/
It will start your local development to http://127.0.0.2:8000 which will work great.
OR
You can try instead
php -S 127.0.0.1:8000 -t public/ It will work in any browser as compare to command php artisan serve which open url http://127.0.0.1:8000.
Successfully landed to Laravel page by the following steps.
Note: This is after the successful installation and configuration.
Was in /var/www/html/
Created the project using the following command after Laravel installation successfully
$laravel new firstapp
here firstapp is my project
cd to firstapp (folder created with project creation with $laravel new firstapp)
serve using the following command
$ php artisan serve
The project ready to serve with the following statement as below
Laravel development server started: http://127.0.0.1:8000
You can access the laravel page using the following URL
http:///firstapp/public/
Sometimes this occur when you have installed an anti virus software. Anti-virus deleting your "server.php" file. For that you can create an exception in anti-virus for "server.php" file or creating a "server.php". You can find relevant code for the file searching. Basically server refuse to connect occurs when the "server.php" deleted or removed from the file path.
I installed Laravel 5 by it's installer and I'm facing a issue with 500 error. I changed chmod with no change (755 for root and o+w for storage).
Running server with php -S localhost:8888 ~/bloggy/public
I have no idea what is doing this.
I think you must run Laravel in the root folder (/bloggy) and not in /public, because in the Laravel File Structure, the public folder is used by Laravel to read assets, css, javascript and other files that you could pass to the view by Laravel helper.
I encounter the same problem. Every request I made it gave me
Server unable to handle request in laravel 5.
I got this error because I configure auth.php and made some mistake in auth.php. I restored auth.php to its original and this fixed my problem.
Hope this helps. Cheers
When I try to start Laravel artisan on a Command-line using php artisan serve, it works because I get the "Laravel development server started on http://localhost:8000/".
However, when I try to run 'localhost:8000' on my web browser, I get this error:
"Warning: Unknown: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in Unknown on line 0
Fatal error: Unknown: Failed opening required 'C:\xampp\htdocs\laravel\laravel/server.php' (include_path='.;C:\xampp\php\PEAR') in Unknown on line 0"
In your project folder, the server.php file is missing so you got this error
The solution will to create another project then copy the newly created server.php this will solve it.
Another Solution is:
Open the link: https://github.com/laravel/laravel/blob/master/server.php
Copy all code
Open Notepad and paste your copy code
save Notepad file and set name server.php
Copy the server.php file and paste it inside your Laravel project
Run your project again in browser Now you will not get an error and the Laravel project will work properly.
Try changing your port to 8080. Maybe some other app is already in charge of port 8000 aka port in use.
I also face that problem and after quite a time I become to solve it. it very simple to solve it.
When I copy an old project to new Laravel 5.6 setups. I face this problem.
so you should first install new laravel setup.
copy your previously created project. when you will use php artisan serve. you will see this type of error.
So it's mean in your project folder "server.php" file is missing.
copy this file from other project and paste it your project. it will run.
my problem like this which was I facing solve it by this method.
There are 2 ways to remove this.
FIRST WAY:
(1) copy the server.php from your project folder (
c:\xampp\htdocs\laravel\public\server.php)
NOTE: laravel is name of my project
(2) the file "server.php" which you have copied, paste this file to root folder (c:\xampp\htdocs\laravel)
SECOND WAY:
Trying add this file to root project folder https://github.com/laravel/laravel/blob/master/server.php
I had the same issue, but it was because of bad configuration file paths.php in Boostrap folder (Laravel 4.2).
This Line,
'public' => DIR.'/../public',
It seems the project i cloned had setup the the root of the project to be public, So i removed 'public' and become
'public' => DIR.'/..', and everything worked fine. I hope this will help somebody.
So i can conclude that, on top of missing server.php file as how others have been suggesting, also Public folder path misconfiguration in Bootstrap paths.php or app.php for higher Laravel can result into that error.
When I try to run some other route trought localhost/project/public/acp or localhost/acp it say folder not found but when use localhost:8000/acp it works fine here is my routes:
Route::get('acp', 'CommentController#admin');
I use Linux server... And what is right way to put Laravel app in production?
Also this works fine: localhost/project/public/ but other routes no....
If you're using php artisan serve, your site runs on localhost:8000 and nothing outside of the public directory is directly accessible. php artisan serve should never be used to serve a production site, it's only for development usage.
If you want it to run on localhost/project/public/acp you'd have to point your webserver's document root at the parent folder of project. This is different depending on which server you use and not advisable because of what follows.
Seeing the public folder in the URL of a deployed Laravel site would be indicative of a significant security issue, as it'd make private files (like .env) possibly accessible, and if you ever made a mistake in your server/PHP config, it might allow your PHP files to be read as plain text.
