How to change Virtual Host Alias
-
I created a new Wordpress website using the Quick App->Wordpress using {name}.com as my alias domain this worked great. Now, trying to understand how Laragon creates these Virtual Host entries / alias I tried to manually change '.com' to '.test' but was not able to get it to work.
Here is what I tried:
-
Updated auto file name and content
auto.example.com.conf - changed name of file to auto.example.test
#ServerName example.com
#ServerAlias *.example.com
ServerName example.test
ServerAlias *.example.test -
C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc/hosts
Changed
#127.0.0.1 example.com #laragon magic!
127.0.0.1 example.test #laragon magic! -
phpmyadmin: Wordpress vars
siteurl: http://example.test
home: http://example.test
How are we able to change the Virtual Host alias after the fact?

There is a much easier way I think:
If you go to the Laragon settings, there is a point "Virtual Host" and you can type another URL Endung. For example project.test instead oft project.dev
-
Not able to find a setting / preference for Virtual Host could someone please break down the steps to change a Virtual host from .com to .test after creating an alias?

I think if yoo go to Menu > Preferences you see the point for Virtual Host in the General card below. if you change the value from {name}.com to {name}.test it'll work. Just reload the www directory and test it....
See this documentation entry: https://laragon.org/docs/pretty-urls.html

Haven't had a chance to try this as my local environment isn't working any longer.
