For previous versions of Laravel, you can simply download laravel with composer in the root folder of your apache server and type in http://localhost/public/ to see the "You've arrived" homepage.

I know I can use php artisan serve to view the Laravel5 default home page, but it is run on localhost:8000 and I heard that php artisan serve command should not be used in production due to the limit of connection and the bad performance. Is there a way I can see the default home page without using the php artisan serve command?

And it is really frustrating that Laravel is not including such simple thing in their installation documentation....

To run the service on another port you need to pass the port parameter with port numberusing this code on the cmd:

php artisan serve --port=80

To run on port 80, you might need administrator permission.
