Answer 1

我遇到了同样的错误，在“端口”上有错误的值：“y”，所以，我建议仔细检查 laravel-echo-server.json 文件。

Answer 2

Here how it worked for me,

I was setting "authHost": " http://localhost:8000 " in laravel-echo-server.json file

you can do this also after you run laravel-echo-server init and provide the URL there.

so the port was the culprit there.

the solution was to just map the URL.

like I use laravel valet so I mapped my website to something.test

then the URL in my laravel-echo-server file to "authHost": " http://something.test "

then I ran laravel-echo-server start and It worked.

When you have run the command laravel-echo-server init... on PORT you have mentioned Yes instead of enter key. This lead the problem.

Just run the command laravel-echo-server init --while on port option either mention a port number or just enter.
