@soup: You're so lucky. I think you are on Windows 10, and Microsoft listens and updates the OS constantly. I will make Laragon more convenient to Nodejs related projects.

Thanks @dazmiller , node-gyp is unstable on Windows (https://github.com/nodejs/node-gyp/issues/629) , so it is a known problem. I found some links that might be helpful for you @soup:

1. https://github.com/nodejs/node-gyp/issues/629#issuecomment-153196245

@shirone : very easy, just copy your nodejs folder overwrite the one in bin/nodejs

@aureliusm: Laragon has idempotent feature, so you just click Next, Next, ...and your current version will be up-to-date. So,it is safe to install latest version of Laragon overwrite the current one.
If you worry, just backup 2 folders: your projects in "www" and databases in "data",

Bonus: you can change the paths of these 2 in Laragon/Settings to Cloud folders, so you can backup or sync them easily.

Browser to: https://wiki.dev:8443
It should work.

Please be aware that on conf/extra/httpd-ssl.conf, you must see that:

Listen 8443

If you change to other value manually (ex: 443), you must change the VirtualHost correspondly.

Listen 443
...
...
<VirtualHost *:443>
...
...

@Densa:

1. On httpd.conf, please make sure this line is uncoment:

Include conf/extra/httpd-ssl.conf

2. On conf/extra/httpd-ssl.conf, you can append this (you may need to what I make bold properly):

<VirtualHost *:8443>

DocumentRoot "C:/laragon/www/wiki/"
ServerName wiki.dev

SSLEngine on

SSLCipherSuite ALL:!ADH:!EXPORT56:RC4+RSA:+HIGH:+MEDIUM:+LOW:+SSLv2:+EXP:+eNULL
SSLCertificateFile "${SRVROOT}/conf/ssl/wiki.dev.crt"
SSLCertificateKeyFile "${SRVROOT}/conf/ssl/wiki.dev.key"

</VirtualHost>

@lapoguidi : node-gyp is unstable on Windows, so you may try running 'npm install' again some times. If you are lucky, errors will disappear...

If you find any errors, run the command again

npm install 

You can add environment variable:

 set OPENSSL_CONF=C:\laragon\bin\apache\apache-2.4.17\conf\openssl.cnf

@JackTimble : It's OK

Koel is a simple web-based personal audio streaming service written in Vue at the client side and Laravel on server side. Targetting web developers, Koel embraces some of the more modern web technologies – flexbox, audio and drag-and-drop API to name a few – to do its job.

I make this tutorial to demonstrate how easy it is (and how to overcome troubleshoots) when using Laragon with a project from github.
You can use the same process for other github projects as well.

1. Make sure Laragon is running, press Ctrl + Alt + T to open Terminal

Ctrl + Alt + T 

2. In Terminal, first jump your Document Root

cd C:\laragon\www

3. Clone koel project, and jump to the project

git clone https://github.com/phanan/koel.git && cd koel

4. Install npm-install-missing (this module will attempt to reinstall any missing dependencies).

npm install -g npm-install-missing

5. Install nodejs dependencies. (You can press Ctrl + T to open a new tab and run Step 6 simultaneously. If you find any errors, run the command again)

npm install 

6. Install php dependencies

composer install

7. Modify .env file

# After that, it can (and should) be removed from this .env file
ADMIN_EMAIL=login@email.com
ADMIN_NAME=leokhoa
ADMIN_PASSWORD=secret
....
DB_HOST=localhost
DB_DATABASE=koel
DB_USERNAME=root
DB_PASSWORD=

8. Click Start All button to start Apache & MySQL servers. Laragon will detect and make beautiful url: http://koel.dev
   If not, right click to open menu, click Apache/Reload

9. Create MySQL database for koel

 mysqladmin -u root  create koel

10. Init database & done!

php artisan init

Now, navigate to http://koel.dev, you should have your personal music streaming server up & running
