@leokhoa Excellent stuff. Makes it all clear now. Got it happening plus a couple of vrsn changes.

Realizing the need for a "siteroot" folder above webroot I added "htdocs" for web content and then used www as the siteroot folder i.e.
..."www/hdocs".
The Menu -> www option sorted it correctly.

Perhaps changing the www to "home" would be more fitting as used commonly on hosts setup. Suggest maybe include same in next upgrade.

Access to a siteroot folder is important as some hidden reference folders etc get "securely" dumped in there by host control panel or whatever (plus a lot of system stuff which should be left alone). And of course, respectfully, inexperienced readers should note this as a possible secure program area (for dev AND live programming) in which your program admin and config data folders can also be placed without direct access worries.

Now I've got something to play with! Thank you and regards, Ron.

PS: edit; this BB thingy is duplicating post replies!!!

@leokhoa I look forward to that with interest, I'm sure in time I'll not be the only one. Regards.

@leokhoa Thank you for the reply. I haven't bothered with the latest packages, as explained above, as clients hosting software packages are so often well behind the latest and (ahem) best versions and prudently so. Obviously coding using none-latest compilers etc too is preferred in those cases.

I also use 32 bit box/laptop for dev. I have absolutely no need to upgrade machines plus reinstall many programs on both. I am sure there must still be many other developers set up likewise (as opposed to dreamers just thinking they can avoid hosting costs using wampp).

So since your post I have now noted somewhere that "ALL" later versions of Laragon ONLY support 64bit... somewhat strange perhaps.

I therefore have the options to:
*buy new machines (no way just for dev)
*hard wire PostgreSQL with Perl external
*look at another wamp dev package.

I have until recently always installed all without wamp but I am attracted to the easier multi site idea.

Once installed and seeing the setup "PostgreSQL" checkbox I persisted for some time trying to get it to happen. Please make an OBVIOUS note with the 32bit down load links that PG is not an option.

Regards. Ron.

I have recently installed 32bit Laragon Full Apache. However I cannot find any reference to installing postgresql, only greyed out (unavailable) preferences services & ports checkbox.

Neither can I find any PostgreSQL install help advice. I need the package to be 32bit also.

sqlite3 is another DB package that would be most helpful, and surprisingly Perl is missing from Laragon too but I can get around the latter.

Your advice regarding what to obtain and where and how to install postgresql would be much appreciated. Best regards, 'imself

PS: Please continue to support older Apache, ***sql, and php packages too. I.e. many hosting companies prudently take some time to use latest stuff until well and truely proven over some
time and webmasters often seek out the older packaged programs.
