On my Mac High Sierra:

• I have updated PHP from 7.1 to 7.3
• I have updated Laravel from 5 to 8

and everything seems fine.

When I run php artisan serve I get this message:

Starting Laravel development server: http://127.0.0.1:8000

When I open the url I get ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED in the browser.

The terminal gets an update with this message everytime I reopen the url:

Starting Laravel development server: http://127.0.0.1:8001
Starting Laravel development server: http://127.0.0.1:8002

I have tried the following solutions:

• restart my mac;
• flush dns;
• MAMP is closed;
• php artisan serve --host=127.0.0.1 not works;
  
• composer is updated;
  
• php.ini is set in folder /opt/local/etc/php73 with variables_order = "GPCS"

What's is wrong with these solutions?

why would you update to laravel 8 when there’s laravel 9 in the first place

You should Install Laravel 9 and php 8
