You could follow the [Installation instructions](https://laravel.com/docs/5.7/installation#installing-laravel) and not rename core files. `public` should be your server's DocumentRoot. — brombeer, Oct 02 '18 at 07:02
I have follow instruction https://stackoverflow.com/questions/28788285/how-to-run-laravel-without-artisan — Rudra, Oct 02 '18 at 07:06
in local environment there no need to change those files. when you use an framework please try to understand its structure and purpose of it. — Emtiaz Zahid, Oct 02 '18 at 07:09
ok when I start php artisan it start laravel on `127.0.0.1:8000` but How can I run other file using this. it basically run `welcome.blade.php` file but if I have `index.blade.php` so how can I run this file on `127.0.0.1:8000` @EmtiazZahid — Rudra, Oct 02 '18 at 07:12
You can by calling your routes in your browser. So `http://127.0.0.1:8000/index` should show your defined route. https://laravel.com/docs/5.7/routing#basic-routing — brombeer, Oct 02 '18 at 07:14

after fresh install , just run command "php artisan serve" , 
because server.php is modified to run server on any directory without putting project in xampp\htdocs , 
If You want to run through localhost replace index.php and .htaccess from public to root directory of project
hope this helps :)

Don't change any file on laravel project if you need just create new folder or file then run it as you know.

if you want to run only laravel project you can run it but if you want to work with database you should use xampp or wampp localhost server.

Hope you may success.

It could be due to various issues:

Artisan serve is not working
Trigger file permission issue
Folder permission issue
Apache server status

You need test one by one like create a separate folder and then inside a new file with simple echo "I am here"; and see if it works.

Next step you need to check command or alternates

Then you need to check permissions of folder and files

If still issue, then maybe need to check into server settings.

If you guys have cloned project from a remote repository or local project

Make sure you have .env.example file
If exist copy content and write on new file called .env
If there is no .env.example file create .env file and paste file from fresh laravel project .env file

This way I solved my issue. I hope it will help you too!!!
