title: Php Artisan serve command not serving Laravel 5.8
body: <p>I installed a new Laravel instance, using version 5.8. Along the way, I found out that I can't serve the project using the normal Laravel <code>php artisan serve</code> command.</p>
  
  <p>After some research with lots of trial and error, I came across this <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/41331631/why-command-php-artisan-serve-not-working">answer</a> on StackOverflow that helped me with this method <code>php -S localhost:8000 -t public/</code> with which I followed to change <code>the port</code> to <code>port 9000,</code> and it served the project perfectly.</p>
  
  <p>Now my question is how can I go about getting the artisan command to be the default command to serve and rum my Laravel 5.8 on Windows just like before? I don't know anything about configuring Laravel core commands.</p>
