How to make valet point to localhost:8000 not to htdocs for laravel freamwork

Question

I am using Windows 10 and I have set up Valet for my Laravel 5.2 project using 'php artisan serve' that sets up the server on localhost:8000 . When I am using XAMPP (for apache and MySQL) and go to localhost it is all fine. When I go to localhost:8000 still all works. But when I go to my_project_name.dev it goes to localhost. And when I try with some_random_name.dev it goes to localhost again. But in my htdocs I have a few projects and I would like to make it like it should be : my_project_name.dev to point to my_project_name directory. Or if that is not possible atleast my_project_name.dev should point to localhost:8000 .

Any help would be appreciated.

You must enable mode_rewrite on apache
1) open the httpd.conf
2) Find the following line #LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so in the httpd.conf file.You can do this easily by searching the keyword mod_rewrite from find menu.
3) Remove the # at the starting of the line, # represents that line is commented.
4) Now restart the apache server.

It has been the same as it should be. The line you have told me was uncommented. If that helps with Laragon is the same situation – Георги Даскалов Aug 11 '16 at 09:20
