Can i reload nginx from command line like the Reload button in the main ui?

x.rep.zm

I love Laragon and ever since i found just what i personally use, thank you!
Im working a small project and i would like to reload nginx after i made new folders. But instead that i must click the Reload button, i want run a command in the shell for example laragon -reload or something, because the Reload command edit the hosts file and update nginx configurations after i clicked - lazy i know.
I want list and manage my projects with a small laravel application. I learn about sockets now and i invent this.
Here is my half-baked solution - it isnt too informative: http://pastebin.com/kuFAh4CC

@x-rep-zm: I believe you want to automate Laragon and your code looks fine
I'll release Laragon 2.1.5 which supports laragon reload soon.

Really? I love You, thanks! I share with you the code if im ready.

@x-rep-zm: Laragon 2.1.5 is ready
You can call laragon reload for your purpose.

Note, because Laragon can run with both Nginx & Apache, you can specify service to be reloaded:
laragon reload nginx
laragon reload apache

In my computer i used simple setup for creating new hosts without problems and keeping safety.
Log in with a user with Administrators group (e.g. the firts installed user).

# Activate superuser and setup the new password
net user Administrator /active:yes *
# Create a new command window with administrator privileges
runas /user:Administrator cmd
# Create a new usergroup
net localgroup /add Developers
# Always prompt when changing is detected (useraccount control settings)
reg add HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System /v ConsentPromptBehaviorAdmin /t REG_DWORD /d 2 /f
# Add write only acces to the hosts file for Developers usergroup
icacls %systemroot%\System32\drivers\etc\hosts /grant Developers:w
# Create a new user (the new user autmatically assigned with Users group too)
net user /add developer /fullname:"Developer" *
# Add the new user to the created usergroup
net localgroup /add Developers developer
# Leave superuser command window
exit
# Logout: rundll32 user32.dll,LockWorkStation

Logged in with developer user

# Create new host
cd %laragonroot% && mkdir www/newhost && echo It works! > www/newhost/index.php
# And now enjoy the auto virtualhost feature
laragon reload && start http://newhost.dev

Nice You must be a Windows guru!

@leokhoa No, im not. I have got a mistake, sorry.

"The snake can sometimes stumble."

# Correct
cd %laragonroot% && mkdir www/newhost && echo It works! > www/newhost/index.php
# Wrong. Must create the folder before creating the index file
cd %laragonroot% && echo It works! > www/newhost/index.php

No worries, I see that you are very keen on what you are trying to achieve.
Good to know you
Merry Xmas!

@leokhoa I have got an issue.
After reload ran, nginx won't serve the new host correctly. And the windows message is get stuck on tray. Is clickable but dont solve anything.

stop laragon (elephant)
delete all generated nginx sites (Menu/Nginx/sites-enabled/Delete all [auto]
remove current host from hosts file (h)
remove current directory
start laragon (elephant)
visit manager site then click the button
laragon reloaded
host added in the hosts file
nginx create the new config file
visit the page, but i see only the laragon logo

I stop and start laragon then everything is fine.
Have You any idea?

I use win 10 x64 with nginx-ed laragon.

I had tested laragon reload carefully with Win 7 x32/Win 10 x64/Win 2012 x64
I guess the issue is on your code when calling laragon reload
