Laravel project not started

Question

Good day, I am completely new to Laravel, I have successfully installed Laravel-9 on my Windows PC using XAMMP and Composer, the installation was successful and everything worked fine, but when I shut down my computer system, I later want to start project, I started XAMPP and entered http://127.0.0.1:8000 in the browser's URL bar, but the project did not start. Can you tell me what to do.

I tried running

artisan serve

in my terminal but still not working, please help

Answer 1

I have been able to resolve it, the mistake I have been making for couple of hours has been that after running php artisan serve command, it gives me the port 127.0.0.1:8000, I used CTRL+C to copy, but instead of pressing the command once, I pressed twice which the first time copied and the second time stopped the serve. Thanks to everyone who responded to me.
