Renaming public folder name causes this issue.

Touching files under vendor directory is something you may never do.

Here is a working alternative way which I have tested and using in my active project.

Create app/Console/Commands/Serve.php files and set the content to this:

input->getOption('host');

        $port = $this->input->getOption('port');

        $base = ProcessUtils::escapeArgument($this->laravel->basePath());

        $binary = ProcessUtils::escapeArgument((new PhpExecutableFinder)->find(false));

        $this->info("Laravel development server started on http://{$host}:{$port}/");

        if (defined('HHVM_VERSION')) {
            if (version_compare(HHVM_VERSION, '3.8.0') >= 0) {
                passthru("{$binary} -m server -v Server.Type=proxygen -v Server.SourceRoot={$base}/ -v Server.IP={$host} -v Server.Port={$port} -v Server.DefaultDocument=server.php -v Server.ErrorDocument404=server.php");
            } else {
                throw new Exception("HHVM's built-in server requires HHVM >= 3.8.0.");
            }
        } else {
            passthru("{$binary} -S {$host}:{$port} {$base}/server.php");
        }
    }

    /**
     * Get the console command options.
     *
     * @return array
     */
    protected function getOptions() {
        return [
            ['host', null, InputOption::VALUE_OPTIONAL, 'The host address to serve the application on.', 'localhost'],

            ['port', null, InputOption::VALUE_OPTIONAL, 'The port to serve the application on.', 8000],
        ];
    }
}

Update the app/Console/Kernel.php file with this content:

command('inspire')
        //  ->hourly();
    }
}

That's all!

Now run your serve command:

$ php artisan serve

Server started:

Laravel development server started on http://localhost:8000/
