wp server
Launches PHP’s built-in web server for a specific WordPress installation.
Uses php -S to launch a web server serving the WordPress webroot. http://php.net/manual/en/features.commandline.webserver.php
Importantly, PHP's built-in web server doesn't support .htaccess files. If this is a requirement, please use a more advanced web server.
Usage
wp server [--host={host}] [--port={port}] [--docroot={path}] [--config={file}]
You can specify global options and the following:
- [--host={host}]
- The hostname to bind the server to.
Default: localhost - [--port={port}]
- The port number to bind the server to.
Default: 8080 - [--docroot={path}]
