Why command “php artisan serve” not working

Question

I started Laravel at this path:

C:\\Users\\Mad\\Work\\trunk\\product\\backend\\v1.2.1\\laravel

but it is not working, it is not starting. <

Just wanted to add to Jayhuan's answer above:

Laravel does the same thing behind the scenes, you can see the code here (look in serverCommand).

So to serve locally you would do: php artisan serve --host mysite.com --port 8000
