I can't view the laravel website when I put in 127.0.0.1:8000.

I put in 127.0.0.1:8000 and it says site can't be reached. Do I need to use a different port than 8000?

http://127.0.0.1/ is standard 'localhost' the :8000 after that is the port Mine is :8888 but yours could be different depending on the local server you're using!

What is it you have installed ? MAMP/WAMP?

I have mamp installed but I wasn't using it at all. I was using virtualbox and vagrant. Should I use mamp instead then?
