This is use for development environment but now project running on VPS and RestAPI not working. Please suggest me that how I use Laravel RestAPI in VPS without php artisan serve command.

Answer 1

Check this article with the title "How To Install Laravel with Nginx on an Ubuntu 12.04 LTS VPS". That article should help you getting REST API working without PHP artisan serve .

Basically, php artisan serve is used to run PHP's built-in web server. When you are already using nginx, you don't need to run PHP's built-in web server. So, you won't need to run php artisan serve .
