Hi, when using CMSes, probably the best server to use to date is OpenLiteSpeed, because it is famous for its support for large amount of requests per second, memory caching and updating static and dynamic content. I hope this is possible.

What's crackin', folks
I switched from WAMPserver to Laragon like a month ago and so far I really love it. Simple, fast. I exclusively use it for Wordpress development and it does the thing.

Since I got a new laptop, I'm moving things around between my desktop, old laptop, and new laptop. When I migrated my databases from my old WAMPserver install, it pretty much didn't take any of them. I think only one or two sites's dbs got successfully imported and I figured I'd just rebuild as needed.

So, when trying to update and work on one site in particular, I just can't seem to get my production db imported. It seems like there's some kind of config difference between standard phpmyadmin installs on most hosting (and WAMPserver) and the default settings Laragon is using with phpmyadmin. I get the "Incorrect format parameter" error anytime I try to import a standard SQL file from another instance of phpmyadmin.

Backend isn't my strong suite so I'm in a bit over my head with this. I know this isn't strictly a Laragon issue, but has anyone here had weird issues with exporting and importing dbs to and from other phpmyadmin installs on WAMPserver or hosting company installs?

Starting all Services of Laragon,
it gives me the following error:

---- mysqld.exe - Application Error
Impossible to start correctly the application (0xc0000007b).
Click on OK to close application.

Can you please tell me what's wrong ?

Thank you

Laragon is great for testing WordPress!

I'm working as WordPress trainer and would like to recommend Laragon.
But for beginners (and most of my trainees are real beginners!), there are 3 open points for me:

1.) Please make removing/deleting a project available as menu item!
(Manually deleting www folder + database + don't know about hosts etc. is too complicated for beginners. And after installing a WordPress site in Laragon is so easy, removing it should be easy too.)
... a really needed feature!!!

2.) Please make phpMyAdmin "1 click" available!
(The manual install works, but is also too complicated for beginners. HeidiSQL works, but for training I need phpMyAdmin which is pre-installed in most shared hosting environments.)

3.) "portable" seems a bit strange when using an installer which (Laragon 3.5) also demands a restart of the computer ... (How can this be portable?)
Maybe more information during the installation about which changes causes the demand of a restart?
And/or less installation dependencies and more self-contained, really portable run-time components?

Laragon wamp could surely be a better software if in the next versions DELETE heidisql. it doesn't help in anything. every time when we need to set up or change something in Laragon it crashes a lot.
Don't use heidisql anymore in laragon. PHPMyAdmin will be helpful a thousand times than heidisql.

I am using Laragon portable for Wordpress on Windows 8.1 64-bit core. I like the portable version as it's small, has everything I need, no bloat for me.

Extracted Laragon for the first time. I clicked menu > MySQL > Change root password and entered a new password. It shows:

Error occurred!
ERROR 1054 (42S22) at line 1: Unknown column 'plugin' in 'field list'

Then I checked and there is no MySQLRootPassword entry in Laragon.ini. I also tried menu > MySQL > Reset and generate a random password for root.

So is this bug? If not how do I set MySQL root password?

You can also add/update phpMyAdmin easily yourself. Just download from its official site (https://www.phpmyadmin.net/downloads) and extract to {LARAGON_DIR}\etc\apps\phpMyAdmin.
That's all.

Now, you can acess phpMyAdmin at:
http://localhost/phpmyadmin

Hi,

I downloaded the laragon-wamp exe file, installed it and started it...
And Apache failed; stating This version of C:\laragon\bin\apache\httpd-2.4.27-win64.. httpd.exe is not compatible with the windows version used.

Well, I know; I'm working on an old windows 7. 32 bits machine.

I downloaded the apache 2.4.35 win32 files, chucked them in a new folder in bin/apache called httpd-2.4.35-win32... VC14 and switched laragon to this apache folder. Alas, I get another errormessage, stating the php version is incorrect.
So, installed the 1.7.23-Win32-VC14-X86 version, and now I get yet another error; icudt57.dll is not suitable for windows or it contains an error. So downloaded that and chucked tin the correct folder...

And now Laragon stopped responding.
I tried starting MSql, but that resulted in an Laragon 216 error, crashing it.

My question now is... Is there an 'easy' way to make Laragon install all the proper 32 bit versions?

Laragon full version 3.2.3

Hi,

I tried to access the web application I'm developing with Laravel and the following error message : No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it.

No clue why, it was working well the day before.
env. file DB connection to adminer is correct :
DB_CONNECTION=mysql
DB_HOST=127.0.0.1
DB_PORT=3306
DB_DATABASE=crudbooster
DB_USERNAME=root
DB_PASSWORD=

I can also not access the adminer database:

Do someone know how I can fix this ?

Thanks in advance for your support.

Cheers, Marc

UPDATE

Update,
Adminer database access work again, but when I try to login to my backend dashboard i've got the following error :

SQLSTATE[HY000]: General error: 1812 Tablespace is missing for table

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

Re: Laragon auto startup on Windows Server 2008
Hello leokhoa, any news about having Laragon installed as service? I followed your procedure for windows server and I have got no problem installing both services under windows 10 but is not too comfortable using it with Laragon Control Panel. Can be a really good thing to can start and stop service from Laragon control panel and having a correct interaction with window service since currenlty when I exit from control panel Mysql service will be stopped.
Thank you in advance for your time.

Hi!

Love the great work & effort you've been putting into Laragon!
Behind huge company proxies it can be difficult to use mail trap / send services as they generate traffic which is frowned upon by company IT.
But there's a locally available alternative to these online services, which can happily introduce chaos in to the connection as well. It's called MailHog
https://github.com/mailhog/MailHog

It's got ready made windows binaries as well which can be configured by the command line or environment variables.

I don't presume to know how much work goes into on-boarding a tool like mySQL or any version of php for that matter, but It doesn't seem as the hardest challenge in the basket

Hello, I just checked Laragon and it looks like a great tool. I just have one doubt.

I usually organize my projects in a folder structure like this:

/CLIENTS/[client_name]/[website.extension]

Do I have to set the document root each time to /CLIENTS/[client_name]/?
Or is there a way to set /CLIENTS/ as document root, and have Laragon find the projects in each subfolder?

Hi.

I'm using laragon PHP complete... with Node+Yarn etc... but i don't want to use this node instance, because i have my own installation.

Is there a way to disable or a version of laragon without these stuffs?

Hello,

I am a bit confused.

If I access my vue app using:
http://127.0.0.1:8000/

I can see my components.

But when I use Laragon as:
http://vue2.testing/

No components are showing.

Any idea why please?

Thank you.
