Dear @leokhoa , after struggled for several hours to simulate cronjob in windows for my laravel cronjob, I found out that using Cronical is really easy to use to do the job. I just need to put 3 files in the laragon php directory (Cronical.exe, .dat & .exe.config) and install it using "Cronical.exe --install" and start the service using "net start cronical".
The configuration is exactly as linux based cron using for example "* * * * * php PATH/TO/FILES/files.cron.php" in the Cronical.dat config file.

Could you please consider to integrate this wonderful open source script to complete the Procfile feature in Windows based system to Laragon in future release?

Thank you so much.

I'm want to add a graph database (like is: neo4j)

laragon tray icon should toggle maximize/minimize !

How can I set up a proper or simulated cron job for WordPress every 5 minutes?

*/15 * * * * wget -q -O - http://yourdomain.com/wp-cron.php?doing_wp_cron

Alternatively, I'd settle for a way to run a Cavalcade Runner via profilec autorun.

https://github.com/humanmade/Cavalcade/blob/master/docs/install.md

Both would be best so I can simulate the real environments our code would run on.

PS. I love 💕 Laragon, great work. As a plugin developer who has nearly 600k sites using our products, its always been hard setting up local testing environments with mutliple versions of apache/mysql/php, have never had that issue with Laragon in the past 2+ years.

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.

Re: Replace HeidiSQL I followed these exact same instructions, only for a different DB client and path (yes, I 'quoted' the path but it doesn't matter because there are no spaces). This no longer works, at least in Laragon 'Full' version 4.x. I put that command in laragon.ini but no button shows up. In a last-ditch effort to make it work, I then copied my DB client code into the 'heidisql' folder in Laragon to see if that would somehow work. The 'HeidiSQL' button then disappeared so I can confirm that won't work either.
So, how can we add our preferred DB clients to Laragon. I've also tried the Procfile way but that didn't work either. There are no messages in the laragon.log. As info, my ini entry is:
[buttons] Database=SQLyog: C:\laragon\bin\sqlyog\SQLyog.exe . That is pretty much identical to wht you told the person wanting Navicat to do.

Allow user to access all custom document root at a time.
e.g: www ROOT WWW= {D:/LARAGON}
LARAGON
|
------development
|------------dev1.test
|------------dev2.test
------practice
|------------prac1.test
|------------prac2.test

currently LARAGON ALLOW like if we set {ROOT}
development.test/dev1
practice.test/prac1
....

Allow to open when ROOT WWW is set
dev1.test
prac1.test|

php is very difficult I also got the same error

I'm looking for a tutorial that covers the issue of debugging Wordpress with Visual Studio Code and Xdebug under Laragon.
Is there any?
Thx

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.

I have found a problem, that I don't know how to solve. Maybe it should be examined and fixed in an update?

Within the last few weeks I startet getting a lot of random "502 Bad Gateway".

As the admin suggest, look in the laragon/bin/nginx/nginx-1.16.0/logs/error.log

What I can see is that the fastcgi is running on Port 9001.

After a fresh reboot, and without starting laragon in server mode. I did run a check on port 9001:

Start powershell (maybe in admin mode) Get-Process -Id (Get-NetTCPConnection -LocalPort 9001).OwningProcess

In my case it prints like this:

#######################################
Handles NPM(K) PM(K) WS(K) CPU(s) Id SI ProcessName

5794 0 204 3568 25.34 4 0 System
######################################

I look up the PID (Process Id in task mannager)

There is this exe file called:
C:\Windows\System32\ntoskrnl.exe

This exe file is using port 9001, and will conflict with Laragon i guess?

It is some kind of system file I think.

@administrators @leokhoa

Here are people with similar problem (note the date of this github issue is recent):
https://github.com/cretueusebiu/valet-windows/issues/131
https://github.com/eclipse/mosquitto/issues/1580

I maybe think it is something that has come in a windows update.

How have I desperately split testet the problem:

I used chrome, firefox I flushed my dns I Created a new Laragon-wordpress-install
problem is still there.

I don't know how to move the fastcgi port and I don't know what to do with ntoskrnl.exe

I think a lot of users is affected by this

In this thread he talks about some Intel driver, maybe? :

Would be great to have Laragon work with snapshots.
For example, at some projects I use PHP7.13 and composer 1-9-x and some PHP modules enabled.

For that I have to switch version of PHP, got to Laragon/bin/composer and overwrite the composer version, add laragon to path, restart it and (sometimes) logoff to have env variables updated.

Now, when I get to other projects they work with PHP 7.2... / composer 2 ,some other PHP modules enabled and I have to repeat the whole step.

Now, that is not a problem. Can be done, but ... would be great to easely switch between this kind of versions just by clicking and restarting.

Re: Possibility of only one instance running?
Ability to switch on/off the multiple instances feature of Laragon (and add it to preferences menu?)
a.k.a only allow one instance of Laragon at a time.
(Either open up the already running instance (+1 on this) or just throw laragon already running err message)
Cảm ơn!!!

Perhaps Adminer is something for Laragon?
It supports MySQL, SQLite, PostgreSQL, MS SQL and Oracle.

Hi @leokhoa - thanks a lot for your wonderful work on Laragon.

A feature request if I may please. In PHP 8.0, the Apache module is renamed to php_module, and not php8_module as it was the pattern for PHP 5 and PHP 7.

Laragon currently updates the etc/apache2/mod_php.conf file to correct the php8apache2_4.dll path. Would it be possible to use php_module if the PHP version is 8, or php5_module or php7_module otherwise depending on the PHP version?

https://php.watch/versions/8.0/mod_php-rename

Thank you.

Request for future release in laragon:

apache and nginx
sites-enabled folder auto pickup proxy.site.test.conf and set in HOST file and SSL

just like and you create a folder in www.

@leokhoa will be possible?

Hello
It is possible to make some custom button on the start screen to switch PHP and Apache version at once ? Kind of preset buttons?
Sometimes i need to use php 5.6 (VC11) and other time 7.* (VC15) what required switch apache (VC11,VC15) also.
Thanks for help.

So that all the projects would be under one roof and will be more accessible. https://forum.laragon.org/topic/925/tutorial-how-to-add-projects-on-localhost-web-index-cómo-añadir-proyectos-en-el-index-de-localhost looks like the solution, but the file specified on the topic isn't available.

Hi, by mistake I installed a 32-bit version of php, I have changed to a 64-bit version, however the php.ini file is still from the 32-bit version, can I fix it by simply changing the file to the 64-bit one ?

This is both a heads-up and a kind feature request

PHP 8 renames php_gd2.dll file to php_gd.dll, so it is possible that when using Laragon, you might come across an error saying unable to load GD extension.

That is because the file is renamed. I use Laravel to switch PHP versions, I was wondering if it would be possible to run some sort of a script to rename gd2 to gd back and forth when the PHP.ini file is initialized by Laragon. If the php.ini file says gd, and if the file is php_gd2.dll, or the other way around, it would be amazing if Laragon could make this quick swap on behalf of the user.

Thank you.
