Troubleshooting & Important Notes
- Local Development Only: This package uses PHP's built-in web server. It is meant only for local development and testing. Do not use it in place of production web servers like Nginx, Apache, or PHP-FPM.
- Same Wi-Fi/LAN: To access the application on other devices using the Network URL, all devices must be connected to the exact same Wi-Fi network or Local Area Network (LAN).
- Firewall Restrictions: If other devices are unable to connect to the Network URL, verify your machine's firewall settings. Ensure that incoming connections on the selected port (e.g.,
8000) are allowed. - IP Bind (0.0.0.0 vs 127.0.0.1): To listen on all network interfaces, the host must be set to
0.0.0.0. If set to127.0.0.1, the server will only accept requests from the local machine. - Busy Ports: If the selected port is already in use by another service, the command will automatically detect it and suggest trying another port (e.g.,
8081).
