With Laragon, adding another PHP version is very easy. Here's how to add PHP 7.4

Download PHP:
https://windows.php.net/download

In this case we download:
https://windows.php.net/downloads/releases/php-7.4.0-Win32-vc15-x64.zip

Extract the downloaded to: {LARAGON_ROOT}\bin\php\php-7.4.0-Win32-vc15-x64 C:\laragon -- bin ---- php -------- php-7.4.0-Win32-vc15-x64 -------- ............. Select the new version at: Laragon Menu > PHP > Version > php-7.4.0-Win32-vc15-x64

Very easy huh. That's all!

Please be noticed about PHP Version (so you can add new extensions properly)

x64 means 64-bit x86 means 32-bit nts means Non Thread Safe

If something's wrong, please check and install correspond VC Redist (VC11, VC14, VC15...)

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!

i went to http://localhost.run/ and copied and pasted the ssh command on my Win 10 and it works. But I could only view the Laragon landing page from outside my PC, not my subfolder containing my localhost website. I usually run my website on my PC by entering say mysite.test.

So, in this case, what should be the URL I should enter remotely? Localhost.run gives URL like https://mysite-123.localhost.run

Hi everyone,
I'm trying configure a project using lumen laravel with nginx on laragon.
But I'm having a problem when make it run as subdirectory.
Example domain run at http://project.local/api/ and project located at D:\projects\api
Does someone has experiment with this case, please give me some suggestion.
There is my current config

server { listen 8172; server_name project.local; charset utf-8; root "D:/project/home"; index index.html index.htm index.php; location / { try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$query_string; } location ^~ /api { alias "D:/project/api"; try_files $uri $uri/ @siteApi; location ~ \.php$ { include snippets/fastcgi-php.conf; include fastcgi_params; fastcgi_pass php_upstream; fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name; } } location @siteApi { rewrite ^/api/(.*)$ /api/index.php/$1 last; } location ~ \.php$ { include snippets/fastcgi-php.conf; include fastcgi_params; fastcgi_pass php_upstream; fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name; } location = /favicon.ico { access_log off; log_not_found off; } location = /robots.txt { access_log off; log_not_found off; } location ~ /\.ht { deny all; } gzip on; gzip_vary on; gzip_disable "msie6"; gzip_comp_level 9; gzip_min_length 1100; gzip_buffers 16 8k; gzip_proxied any; gzip_types text/plain text/css text/js text/xml text/javascript application/javascript application/x-javascript application/json application/xml application/xml+rss; }

Thanks

Hi,

I'm using Laragon 2.2.2 on Windows Server 2008 R2 Enterprise and I would like to get Laragon to start automatically when the server is restarted. If it's of any further help I am using MariaDB (running on port 3306) and Apache (running on port 8000).

I have tried the following:

Switching on the following settings in Laragon: "Preferences > General > Run Laragon when Windows starts" "Preferences > General > Start All automatically"

However, Laragon does not start even after logging in via remote desktop.

Looking for Apache and MariaDB/MySQL in services.msc and setting the "Startup Type" to automatic, but I could not find any of these services?

I've also found I have to right click on Laragon and to run as administrator to get it to run properly, otherwise, I receive lots of errors once Laragon starts.

Any suggestions on how I could get this to work?

Thank you!

If your machine is behind a company proxy, you may not be able to download files using "Quick app" and "Quick add" features of Laragon.
With laragon 4.0.1+, you can overcome the limitation by using Proxy. Here's how:

Open laragon.ini in Menu > Laragon > laragon.ini Add Proxy=<host>:<port> below [preferences]. For example: [preferences] Proxy=206.81.6.31:8080

That's all.

Note: if you don't have a proxy, you can paste this link to your browser to get a free one (repeat the process until you find one that works):
http://pubproxy.com/api/proxy?limit=1&format=txt&https=true&country=US&type=http

Change country=XX to the country you prefer.
For more information, you can check this github:

Hi,

There is a way to integrate cmdr in VS Code and make it the VS Code default terminal ?

help me..
service MariaDB can not start


When trying to speed up your PHP web applications, it sure helps to know where the bottle necks are. That’s where Xdebug and Q Cache Grind can help: they can tell you which functions and class methods are taking up the most time and memory, how many times they’re called, and who called them. With this information, it’s far easier to speed up your code than “shooting in the dark” by just trying to optimize everything. Read article on my blog.

Adding another MySQL version is very easy and safe with Laragon.
Hint: This tutorial also applies for MariaDB.
https://downloads.mariadb.org/mariadb/10.2.6/#os_group=windows
[Download the MariaDB 64-bit version]

Download MySQL 5.7 (64-bit) or 32-bit:
https://dev.mysql.com/get/Downloads/MySQL-5.7/mysql-5.7.18-winx64.zip Extract the downloaded to: {LARAGON_ROOT}\bin\mysql\mysql-5.7.18-winx64 (see below Note for MariaDB) C:\laragon -- bin -- mysql -- mysql-5.7.18-winx64 -- ............. Select the new version at: Laragon Menu > MySQL > Version > mysql-5.7.18-winx64

Very easy huh. That's all forks!

Note: If you use MariaDB, extract it to: {LARAGON_ROOT}\bin\mysql\mariadb-10.2.6-winx64, Laragon will automatically create correspond DataDir for MariaDB on data/mariadb

Hi @leokhoa

I'm using
Laragon Lite 4.0.14 190508

my set up on local development is to match with the legacy system which is using mariadb-10.1.38, windows 10 64 bit

so, I'm using mariadb-10.1.38 and start it up normally the first time.
the issue is happening if I stop and start again the db

Error: Service MariaDB can not start.

BUT, I found the hack to this.
If I change db root password, it will make the app not responding, then I need to force close the app.

the next time I start the DB, its working normally.

this is the error log on mysqld.log
2020-02-13 12:00:03 20308 [ERROR] mysqld: Incorrect key file for table '.\mysql\user'; try to repair it
2020-02-13 12:00:03 20308 [ERROR] Fatal error: Can't open and lock privilege tables: Incorrect key file for table '.\mysql\user'; try to repair it

My suspect so far

there might be some issue on db start or stop process. user permission on .\mysql\user.*

Please kindly check, or advise if somehow I can fix it locally on my end.

Hello everyone, I just installed the latest version of laragon on my computer with windows 10. But I have a problem when trying to start Nginx. Nginx is assigned port 80 and when I start it, it gives me an error "Nginx can not start, reason: Port 80 is in use", but I have already replaced this port with other ports and it shows me the same message "Nginx can not start, reason : Port 80 is in use ", whatever port you assign. I also reviewed the Nginx configuration files and the changes are saved when assigning a new port for it. But if I assign port 80 to Apache it starts without problems. So I do not know where the problem is, maybe someone could help me. Thank you.

Re: 64 bits vs 32 bits version

Can I run Laragon on a 32 Windows 7 with 1 GB RAM?
I want to run a web portal (POS) offline.

I love using Laragon, but I'd prefer not to have it run on my primary development PC. I've installed it onto another PC on my network and would like to access the WordPress development websites I've put there via another computer. All computers are Windows 10.
Can anyone provide me with instructions on how to connect?
I've tried putting the IP address of the Laragon machine in my browser, plus the website name (e.g. 192.168.0.50/test1.test) but get "The requested URL /test1.test was not found on this server." I can most definitely ping the Laragon machine from the PC I'm trying to access it through.

*** - I just figured out how to do it via ngrok! However, this means I'm essentially going out on the internet to ngrok and then back again! Is there not a more direct way to connect?

I don't know what is happening but I am having issues with my laragon local server. It is refusing to load my project to the browser. I think it is crashing but there is no indication anywhere that the program has crashed.
This has happened 4 times in one week. each time it happens, I uninstall the laragon and install it again and it works fine for a few hours and then the problem arises again. It ia getting frustarting because I can't keep uninstalling and installing again

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
