Currently the default setting for the "www" link in Laragon's menu is to go straight to the installed WordPress project front (home) page. As far as I can find, there is no place to set the "www" link to go to the WordPress login page for any specific project.

Hence this feature request,

"Provide the option to set the www link to go to the WordPress login page".

Reason: installing WordPress onto a localhost environment is not for public access, it is primarily for development and editing. This requires our access to have the default location as the login page for the WordPress install, not the front/home page.

The featured "www option" allows us to set it to where we want to go each time.

Currently, when clicking a project under the "www" menu list, Laragon takes us to the projects' main home page for the CMS (WordPress) install.

http://localhost/(WordPress Project Name)/

I am trying to find how I can change it, to make the "www" menu link go directly to the WordPress "wp-login.php" page instead.

http://localhost/(WordPress Project Name)/wp-login.php

Is this possible?

Thanks

When I started using Laragon this past month, I installed the portable version instead of the full install.

Now the update (v4.0) arrived and I used the installer exe file to update Laragon.

When I tried to use Laragon via the icon on the desktop, which was installed by the regular installer, I got the error,

"Failed: Apache httpd-2.4.35-win64-VC15"

with a pop-up that said,

"Service Apache can not start. Reason: Port 80 is in use!"

I used the netstat to find what is using Port 80 and found that it was the Portable version, yet the I did not start the portable version specifically, I used the icon installed by the installer.

It appears the installer installed the update over the portable install, yet I seem to be getting 2 instances active, the portable and the regular install.

I would rather not change port numbers, because I only want 1 laragon installed, not both.

What do I do to clean this up, to remove the portable version completely, so when I start Laragon only the one I installed as the update is the one working and uses Port 80?

Thanks

I have an old legacy word press site running an older PHP version. I have installed 7.2 but I cannot upgrade my version of Word Press it tells me that it needs an upgraded PHP. Any idea or suggestion on what I'm doing wrong.

Laragon is a useful tool, but not useful enough, since it crashes if the PHP Opcode Cache is enabled (and configured). Even phpMyAdmin quits. I didn't find any workaround. Her are some opcode related topics, but no answer by the developer given. This way you can't use Laragon for serious development. It seems to be only a playground for beginners. That's a pity.

Hello all, I recently downloaded and installed Laragon in my my PC which has Windows 8.1 64 bits. But when I start Apache I get the following 2 errors.

httpd.exe - Entry Point Not Found The procedure entry point SSL_CTX_set_post_handshake_auth could not be located in the dynamic link library C:\laragon\bin\php\php-7.4.0-Win32-vc15-x64\ext\php_curl.dll. OK httpd.exe - System Error The program can't start because icuuc65.dll is missing from your computer.
Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem.

OK

I can not solve the problems. Please help me. Thanks a lot,

Hasan

Hello, first of all, I love Laragon, thank you very much leokhoa for developing this excellent tool.
I want to know if in the future the application will be updated, and if so, when it is scheduled.
I think it has some tools that need updating like the cmder or quick installs among other things.
Thanks for the program, it makes my day a lot easier.
Sorry for my English that is a little rusty.

Hi leokhoa thanks for this beautiful local development environment software.
I am using it from early release of this software.

I am wondering if you can make same for production vps server.
I is tedious to make production vps working with lots of commands and configurations, if you can make it automatic it will be easy to manage and monitor production servers.

For this feature i am ready to pay for software even others will also pay if you make it.

There is another software for production server management is claver https://getcleaver.com it is good software but has very less amount of features and not actively developed. As i know you are very active in community you can make it much better. I hope you can take it to higher level.

thanks.

Hi ! I'm new to Laragon and I'm working on a laravel project "by the way I also use windows 10 as system". Everything was fine until my MYsql service can not start since I am unable to advance on my project. If you can give me your help it would do me a lot of good. Thanks in advance! still happy to join the Laragon community.

Hi. Maybe you can implement a selective start, where we can select desired servers we want start, and its respectives versions.

Hello, I was trying to update my Quick APp section to create a new Symfony 4.4 (LTS) project using the symfony installer that is installed on my WIndows env.

Symfony 4 LTS (skeleton)=symfony new %s --version=lts Symfony 4 LTS (website-skeleton)=symfony new %s --full --version=lts

But it doasn not work, when I try to set up a new project I get this error No file: C:\laragon\temp\downloads\20191205084711.symfony...

Could anyone help here?

I would guess many of us here are Wordpress developers. How many of us run a project and then have to add wp-admin in the browser to then edit the project? Surely there is a demand to add a parameter to the project url? (ensuring that it can be immediately after the url without a space ie ...projectname/wp-admin

In the latest version there is no ngrok. I've read some topics on this forum, and they say its in www menu but I don't see that too. Am I missing something? I downloaded latest full release.

Other menu

I was wondering that in addition to ngrok we can also add support for localtunnel.me. It's pretty similar except that you can assign custom subdomain for free, which makes it possible to have the testing host same as the development site.

The syntax is quite simple:

> lt -p <port> --subdomain <name> --local-host <name> > your url is: https://name.localtunnel.me

Right now I'm using a bat file for this, but it would be a great addition to the menu also.

Thanks,
San

P.S. The full details are here: https://localtunnel.github.io/www/

The easiest way is:

Backup laragon.exe (rename to laragon.exe.bak) Replace it with the file download from github.com:
https://github.com/leokhoa/laragon/blob/master/laragon.exe

That's all folks.

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. Make sure Laragon is running, press Ctrl + Alt + T to open Terminal Ctrl + Alt + T In Terminal, first jump your Document Root cd C:\laragon\www Clone koel project, and jump to the project git clone https://github.com/phanan/koel.git && cd koel Install npm-install-missing (this module will attempt to reinstall any missing dependencies). npm install -g npm-install-missing 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 Install php dependencies composer install 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=

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

Create MySQL database for koel

mysqladmin -u root create koel Init database & done! php artisan init

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

Hi, first of all, thanks to this great app, I love it and I improve a lot my dev times because with a few clicks I have all ready, so thanks! I love it.

I want to ask if its possible to run cronjobs in laragon, in a .cmd that run when program start running or could be added in the future.
I can't use Task Scheduler for windows because I use many computers.
I want to run crons like * * * * * wget myapp.test/cron.php
Any idea to make it?
Thanks!Sorry for my english!

After My PC crashed, Terminal giving me error every time one starting & ending.
is there any way without reinstall?

I was using Xampp for local development until about a year ago when I found Laragon & I haven't looked back since. This is seriously the most powerful local development tool I have in my entire "developer toolkit".
I started working for a new company about 2 months ago & their entire team was using various setups for local dev and were always encountering problems. Setting up a new project locally was always a nightmare for them due to mysql version conflicts, having to change php versions, etc. When I introduced Laragon to them, they were amazed at how easy it was to install, maintain and how flexible it was to update/switch their dependencies. My manager told me that since the team has started using Laragon for local dev, project setup time has gone down from an average of 6 HOURS, to less than 30 mins. AMAZING.
In the opensource community, people sometimes forget the amount of time, effort and hard work that goes into creating something like this. So the reason why I'm posting this is just to say thank you to @leokhoa for developing & maintaining such an incredible piece of software. Your amazing efforts are very much appreciated!

Adding another PostgreSQL version is very easy with Laragon.
Assume we want to use PostgreSQL 12.1 64-bit (or other versions)

Download PostgreSQL 12.1 (64-bit):
http://get.enterprisedb.com/postgresql/postgresql-12.1-1-windows-x64-binaries.zip Extract the downloaded to (*): bin\postgresql\postgresql-12.1 C:\laragon -- bin -- postgresql -- postgresql-12.1 -- bin -- doc -- include -- lib -- pgAdmin 4 ..... Close Laragon, then open it again (to refresh the Menu). Select the new version at: Laragon Menu > PostgreSQL> Version > postgresql-12.1

Very easy huh. That's all forks!

*Note: after extracting, you rename the pgsql dir to postgresql-12.1.
