I am trying to install Laravel for first time. I installed it on my desktop with the following composer command
composer create-project laravel/laravel laravel-app
The command completed successfully without any error but with some messages like
symfony/var-dumper suggests installing ext-symfony_debug ()
symfony/translation suggests installing symfony/config ()
I now did chmod -R 777 larvel-app
to make whole folder writable by everyone. I now started php server with following command
cd laravel-app
php artisan serve
and it gave following message
Laravel development server started on http://localhost:8000
When viewed from web browser in address http://localhost:8000, there is nothing, only blank page. When I browse this address, the server seems to quit.
I have following environment: OSX Mavericks; MAMP with php 5.4.10 and apache2; following extensions in php.ini file
extension=imap.so
extension=yaz.so
extension=mcrypt.so
extension=gettext.so
extension=pgsql.so
extension=pdo_pgsql.so
extension=pdo_mysql.so
;;;;;Following are added by me ;;;;no error when starting server
extension=openssl.so
extension=mbstring.so
When I run which php
from command line, I get following.
/Applications/MAMP/bin/php/php5.4.10/bin/php
When I tried to run this in mamp ie localhost:8888, it gave 500 internal server error.
Please suggest me, where I might have made mistake.
I think you should move your Laravel Application to
/Applications/MAMP/htdocs/
and then you can access it on
http://localhost:8888/laravel-app
As a OSX user i strongly recommend you to use Laravel Homestead to develop your applications.

You only need to install:
I have my projects in ~/code folder, so everytime i create a new project, i just:
The most common reason for this is that the web server process does not have write access to the storage
folder and its subfolders.
Set the permissions on the storage folder so that the web server can create files.
You don't have to use php serve, mamp does that for you. Make sure you point your directory to public folder. You can also use custom domain for each of your projects.
Also for Mac there is laravel valet. Easy to get started with many php projects.
