Laravel failed to listen on 127.0.0.1:8000 (reason ?)

Question

So I just created a new project using the command:

laravel new blog

Then I started by changing the directory and do the command

php artisan serve

And this is what happened, more details:

I'm using laravel 8.0.1 (latest version)
I haven't run any command except the one I listed above
I'm using windows
I even updated the php to 7.4.10 (latest ver)

You don't have php.ini or not good configured. You can find the answer [here](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/52594477/composer-not-working-on-windows-gives-composer-exception-nosslexception-error/61361052/#answer-61361052) — , Dec 01 '20 at 19:30

I came across the same issue. This was how how I solved mine:

Goto the main PHP part, I mean the installed PHP from official website.
Look out for a folder named php.ini-development
Duplicate this file.
Then rename the copy to php.ini
Go back to your laravel project folder and rerun php artisan serve

I had this problem too, and I solved it in this way:

set: php.ini

variables_order = "GPCS"

Check your PHP version in your local server and System variable path. Make sure they are using the same PHP version

This error is because the php.ini was not found.

run php --ini

Configuration File (php.ini) Path: Loaded Configuration File: C:\php8\php.ini Scan for additional .ini files in: (none) Additional .ini files parsed: (none)

The line "Loaded Configuration File" would indicate the location of loaded php.ini, if not, rename the php.ini-development to php.ini
