Ok, my mistake leokhoa and thanks for being on the ball 24/7! I have probably copied mysql folder two levels deep basically under data there is mongodb and mysql, in mysql I had another folder mysql with all the databases, I might have moved folder too quickly and screwed things up.

I am sorry for the bother, everything looks great and can't be more happy to have databases synch via dropbox!

Thanks Leokhoa, you rock as always.

Hi leokhoa happy new year, I have updated preferences but no result it is stuck on initiliazing data, so mysql will not start.

I am doing more tests, so if I choose a new folder on dropbox it picks up the newly created data directory, but if I try to open an exsisting one I am still stuck on initializing data,

What do you think it can be?

Hello, long term laragon user extremely happy with this wonderful tool for local dev.

I am trying to move the datadir to dropbox / drive in order to keep in synch database among multiple laragon installations as suggested in some posts.

I am not able to get the data initializing though, I have already a few databases in my local datadir so I have actually copied the whole data dir and pasted in dropbox at C:\Users\MYUSER\Dropbox\Lorenzo\Laragon\data and changed the setting accordingly.

Now when I start laragon it takes a very long time initializing data which so far is not completing and I have to shut down laragon.

If I know try to set back the default datadir behaves the same so I am currently unable to access my old data folder either.

Using windows 10 latest update, using latest laragon 4.x

Anyhelp on this process would be much appreciated.

Ok, getting closer...! I changed apache to 8888, now I can run both at same time webpack dev server at 8080 and php at 8888, I am getting addicted...:)

@leokhoa I mentioned being a newbie! But I am still a bit confused, when I run npm run watch on a vuejs project for example I get a built in dev server running...correct? It uses by default port 8080.

If I check nginx I sure serve the site via nginx, but my question / doubt is still there, what happens to the webpack dev-server? Is it running in the background? For a simple tutorial like the one I was following is fine, but what about when I try (I will soon) try to setup a full single page app and just use laravel as the backend, in this case I will want to have the site running on :8080 via node, is this correct?

P.S. Thanks for the amazing work on this community, I really enjoy laragon by the way.

Hi, yes I did and it builds correctly...

but I still get no response from :8080, all works fine at .dev see my snapshot of network tab on example.dev

and on example.dev:8080

Now in settings I have not touched anything, so I guess nginx is not active:

Hello @leokhoa thanks for you support. Here I have attached of the result build with npm run watch:

1. From running command npm run watch:
   

2. Here the build result

I can see my changes reflected in the browser at the project address, but shouldn't I have two running web servers? One from js at project.dev:8080 and the other one from php / laragon at project.dev ?

I will try with a full spa test with vue-router to see if I am actually taking over php, while testing this I am following a very simple tutorial and it does not use vue-rotuer, so I am still returning welcome.blade.php as root path. I was just expecting with npm run watch to see also a dev server at :8080

Kindest,
Lorenzo

Hi, newbie question! I am trying to setup a project using laravel as backend and vuejs as front end.
I am having issues when I run npm run watch, it gets compiled ok but I cannot access for example my-project-example.dev:8080 which is the local dev server. Should I try to change the webpack dev default server port or is there any other solution?
Thanks,
