If I define an auto virtual hosts hostname as {name}.test as is the default, all is well. However if I define as {name}.dev then menu>www>{name} gives me https://{name}.dev in browser with of course accompanying error.

I recall in the past with an older version of laragon that a hostname with a dev extension worked.

Currently using version 4.0.12

With Laragon 2.1.0, you can use your favourite editor with Laragon and add it to the Right-Click Menu for quick access. In this article, we will add VS Code.

Download VS Code:
https://code.visualstudio.com/Docs/?dv=win Extract the downloaded to: {LARAGON_ROOT}\bin\code Open laragon.ini in Menu > Laragon > Settings file: laragon.ini Put Editor=PATH-TO-EXE under [preferences] [preferences] Editor=bin\Code\code.exe

Note: If you extract outside Laragon's installation dir, you must put full path. For example:

[preferences] Editor=C:\editor\Code\code.exe (Optional) Add to Right-Click Menu: Click Tools > Right-Click Menu > Add/Update Code & Terminal
Note: You must run Laragon as Administrator to do that.

Very easy huh. That's all forks!

Hello,

I have a feature request regarding how Laragon handles the creation of the certificates for apache/nginx SSL, as I've already saw, that Laragon re-issues the certificate for each newly created domain as an extra DNS name, that's good so far, then Laragon will add this certificate to windows Certificate trust store, here arises the problem when using Firefox, Firefox newly don't trust certificates from Windows Cert Store, and it needed to be enabled manually from about:config by setting the flag "security.enterprise_roots.enabled" to true, and this sadly still somehow buggy.
Chrome, however, handles this properly as it always read from the Windows cert store at first, then all Laragon links will be trusted without a warning.

So from that perspective, wouldn't it make more sense if Larargon creates its own CA, add it to the windows trust store, this way we leverage the addition of new certificate every time to windows, and Firefox can trust this once and forever for future certs created from Laragon.

What do you think?

I've discovered this article on Medium by @ahjustin. It is a nice article and very helpful if you are a Wordpress developer or want to become a Wordpress developer:

Ref: [Tutorial] How to add wp-cli to Laragon

Click Menu > Quick app > Wordpress, specify a "Name" (ex. myblog), Laragon will:

Create correspond database: myblog Download the latest version of Wordpress Extract the code to C:\laragon\www\myblog Generate correspond pretty URL:
http://myblog.test

In a few minutes, you will get what you want effortlessly.

Quick app for a Laravel project from an online compress link (Laravel 7z):

Laragon is downloading & extracting data...

Laragon can handle 7z, tar.gz, zip or composer. Believe or not, Laragon can create a Laravel project in LESS THAN A MINUTE. Just try it: Menu > Quick app > Laravel 7z

Laragon comes with some pre-defined projects. You can put another projects easily yourself. Just click Menu > Quick app > Configuration and edit the configuration file.

The file is: {LARAGON_ROOT}\usr\sites.conf

AutoCreateDatabase: if true, Laragon will automatically create a database correspond to project name.
Cached: if true, compress files from remote servers will be stored in {LARAGON_ROOT}\tmp\cached, next time Laragon doesn't need to download them.

Hi, first of all thanks for this awsome work.

As you know seting CRON jobs are pain on windows. Is there a way to make it easy with laragon?

And for example on laravel you can create queue's as you know,
When you want to use need to run artisan command(s) and in real world example (as far as i know) on linux systems you need to set up supervisor service's for this type of things.

If is it possible laragon has able to handle with these it would be awsome ?

Again thanks for awsome work.
God Bless You.

Blueprints for WordPress like "Local" (created by flywheel, if you can view a example of this feature). This option can create other fast installation from a original WordPress install (for example for test anymore without break the actual development). This option will copy all actual WP structure and database.

I want to translate the tutorials and helpers forum into Spanish for the Hispanic community. Everyone on the World should know Laragon perfectly.

Some ideas for estructure the forum @leokhoa ?

I am running a project which has php and java , java coding run on tomcat for which i have to use eclipse and for php coding i am using laragon apache server + mysql server for both .
please help to config tomcat in laragon

You can read about Procfile here at Heroku: https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/procfile

However, Laragon makes Procfile more convenient to use with GUI. On Laragon all processes on Procfile will be displayed on Menu > Laragon
Some other differences on Laragon are:

A process name can have spaces. For example: My Cool App You can add autorun to make the process auto triggered when Laragon starts You can hide (don't show Console) a process if you quote its command. For example: "php artisan serve" You can set PWD=xxx - xxx is Path of current processs You can have env_file=yyy - yyy is Path to your Environment File.

Here is format of a Procfile:

# Format: ; Program Name: autorun COMMANDS env_file=PATH_OF_FILE pwd=PATH_OF_WORKING_DIR ENV_VAR1=VALUE ENV_VAR2="VALUE WITH SPACE" # Help: ; Program Name: Will be displayed on Procfile or Tools' Menu (can contains space) ; autorun: Your COMMANDS will be run automatically when Laragon starts ; COMMANDS: A command or a series of commands (separated by & ) ; env_file: You can set environment variables directly or put them to the file ; PWD: Current working directory - where the COMMANDS run # Examples: ; My Cool App: autorun node start $PORT PORT=9000 env_file=usr\my_file.env PWD=usr/proj/myapp DB_HOST=1.2.3.4 DB_PORT=9999 DB_USER=user DB_PASS="!$Ab.cs3cre1" DB_NAME=cooldb ; Awesome Tool: "PATH HAS SPACES SHOULD BE QUOTED LIKE THIS" ------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Note:

pwd is case-insensitive. autorun is case-insensitive. Your env_file may look like this: VAR1="VALUE WITH SPACE" DB_HOST=1.2.3.4 DB_PORT=9999 DB_USER=user DB_PASS=!$Ab.cs3cre1

Disk space is not problem, but opening all log files with code/text editors. Almost impossible when log files are several hundreds MB.

I understand need for live servers, online servers and keep so huge log files. In case of for instance hacking you could check logs from months ago. And some other cases.
But when Laragon is used on localhost so huge log files are absolutely not needed. Do you have a problem with some website ? Just refresh this website, front-end or back-end. Open log files and read what problem is. Theoretically it is enough with log files of 1-5 MB in size. When developing websites you are only interested in latest log lines.

How to delete log files when they grow to one size, and continue making new one, and on and on ?

I tried "rotatelogs". Works somehow, but activate several new windows processes. And cannot delete old log files. So if you forget (and you will) you have this installed and set, subfolder with logs will have a chaos of new log files.

Hi - so I upgraded to Laragon 4 and used the quick install for PostgreSql. I added an empty database from pgAdmin and once I got it to allow me to click the "restore" button I tried restoring an existing database. (I'm new to PostgreSql)
But I get an error dialog with "The program can't start because python36.dll is missing from your computer".
I've restarted and then done a separate install of Python to the computer plus a restart, but same error.
Any ideas?

FYI: the quick install of PostgreSql seems to miss anything to do with setting a password, or showing a dialog to add one - I got stuck till I added my own "pgpass.conf" file in the PostgreSql directory.

Thanks for the great work making Laragon!

Good Day,

I am having a difficult time with Laragon.

First - using Apache. On the computer where Laragon is installed, I can access 192.168.1.5 or local host, resulting in the browser displaying the Laragon page. Again on the same computer if I use either 192.168.1.5 or localhost followed by /dev1 I can access the Wordpress site and log into it. But I have not been able to figure out how to access those on other computers on the LAN.

Secondly - using Nginx. On the computer where Laragon is installed, when I switch to Nginx the browser cannot connect to 192.168.1.5 or localhost at all. Neither can other computers on the LAN.

So the question is two part... how do I get LAN computers to connect when using Apache and how can I get anything to work when using Nginx?

Thanks

Hello, I'm using memcached as indicated in other posts on the forum:

if (!class_exists('Memcached')) { include ("memcached.php"); }

It works, but the problem is that many functions such as flush() are not working...

https://www.php.net/manual/es/memcached.flush.php

Displays the following error:

Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Call to undefined method Memcached::flush() in

How can I fix it?

Create this file trigger-php.bat in usr\bin:

\usr\bin\trigger-php.bat:

php trigger.php %PHP_VERSION% %APACHE_VERSION%

You can access PHP_VERSION and APACHE_VERSION through $argv in trigger.php in usr\bin:

\usr\bin\trigger.ph:

<?php print_r($argv); # YOUR CODE HERE

In you code, you can download correspond Apache version from http://www.apachelounge.com/download/ and extract it to bin\apache

Re: PHP date function giving wrong time [solved]

I cannot find the file mentioned in this solved post, that is, config/app.php.

Have set the timezone value in php.ini to 'America/Edmonton' but to no effect (after restarting Laragon). Also set the timezone in WordPress > Dashboard > Settings > General.

I am doing a conditional display of content in a WordPress site based upon the weekday, but it's showing tomorrows content instead of todays

Cheers!
