Laravel5: chdir (): No such file or directory (errno 2)

Renaming the shared folder name causes this issue.

Touching the files in the vendor directory is something you can never do.

Here is an alternative way of working that I tested and used on my active project.

Create app / Console / Commands / Serve.php files and set the following content:

<?php

namespace App\Console\Commands;

use Exception;
use Illuminate\Console\Command;
use Symfony\Component\Console\Input\InputOption;
use Symfony\Component\Process\PhpExecutableFinder;
use Symfony\Component\Process\ProcessUtils;

class Serve extends Command {
    /**
     * The console command name.
     *
     * @var string
     */
    protected $name = 'serve';

    /**
     * The console command description.
     *
     * @var string
     */
    protected $description = 'Serve the application on the PHP development server';

    /**
     * Execute the console command.
     *
     * @return void
     *
     * @throws \Exception
     */
    public function fire() {
        chdir('/');

        $host = $this->input->getOption('host');

        $port = $this->input->getOption('port');

        $base = ProcessUtils::escapeArgument($this->laravel->basePath());

        $binary = ProcessUtils::escapeArgument((new PhpExecutableFinder)->find(false));

        $this->info("Laravel development server started on http://{$host}:{$port}/");

        if (defined('HHVM_VERSION')) {
            if (version_compare(HHVM_VERSION, '3.8.0') >= 0) {
                passthru("{$binary} -m server -v Server.Type=proxygen -v Server.SourceRoot={$base}/ -v Server.IP={$host} -v Server.Port={$port} -v Server.DefaultDocument=server.php -v Server.ErrorDocument404=server.php");
            } else {
                throw new Exception("HHVM built-in server requires HHVM >= 3.8.0.");
            }
        } else {
            passthru("{$binary} -S {$host}:{$port} {$base}/server.php");
        }
    }

    /**
     * Get the console command options.
     *
     * @return array
     */
    protected function getOptions() {
        return [
            ['host', null, InputOption::VALUE_OPTIONAL, 'The host address to serve the application on.', 'localhost'],

            ['port', null, InputOption::VALUE_OPTIONAL, 'The port to serve the application on.', 8000],
        ];
    }
}

      

        
        
        
      

    

Update the app / Console / Kernel.php file with the following content:

<?php

namespace App\Console;

use Illuminate\Console\Scheduling\Schedule;
use Illuminate\Foundation\Console\Kernel as ConsoleKernel;

class Kernel extends ConsoleKernel {
    /**
     * The Artisan commands provided by your application.
     *
     * @var array
     */
    protected $commands = [
        // Commands\Inspire::class,
        Commands\Serve::class,
    ];

    /**
     * Define the application command schedule.
     *
     * @param  \Illuminate\Console\Scheduling\Schedule  $schedule
     * @return void
     */
    protected function schedule(Schedule $schedule) {
        // $schedule->command('inspire')
        //  ->hourly();
    }
}

      

        
        
        
      

    

All this!

Now run the feed command:

$ php artisan serve

      

        
        
        
      

    

Server started:

Laravel development server started on http://localhost:8000/

      

        
        
        
      

    

+ Change

ChDir (public_path ());

to

ChDir ('/');

From: provider /laravel/framework/src/Illuminate/Foundation/Console/ServeCommand.php

this error appears when renaming a folder public

.

Never edit files in the vendor folder. After updating composer or fresh installation, you will lose your changes.

The best solution is to edit bootstrap / app.php and put this snippet before the return statement.

$app->bind('path.public', function() {
    return base_path() . '/web';
});

      

        
        
        
      

    

go to server.php in root folder and rename public

toany name you have

Usually when this type of error occurs, it means that Laravel is looking for a shared folder and it cannot be found. It depends on how you configured the application and using the php artisan service --host=0.0.0.0

will not work in this case. The best way to handle this is to host the app on your server (htdocs) and access it in your url.

The vendor directory contains your dependencies in Composer. For more information visit Laravel Documentation . Never edit anything in the vendor because it can cause problems when updating composer.
