laravel：启动服务器后无法在控制台中输入

Question

I have recently started studying Laravel and I noticed that after I start a server (php artisan serve) I can no longer type anything in the console and I have to close and reopen it to be able to type again.

Here is what is written in the console:

C:\\Xampp\\Xampp\\htdocs\\telerikFifthHomework>php artisan controller:make UserContr oller Controller created successfully!

C:\\Xampp\\Xampp\\htdocs\\telerikFifthHomework>php artisan serve
Laravel development server started on http:// localhost:8000

Any suggestions?

Answer 1

CTRL+C will exit serve and return to prompt. Execute what you need and then serve again.

Answer 2

if you just started with laravel, i'd suggest to setup homestead first. This is a better way to work since you dont have to worry about server maintanance anymore and you can just focus on making a website. This will also resolve this problem, since you use a vm to handle the server. For more info about homestead, here are some links:
