[Solved] Unable to create projects with Laragon
-
I'm completely new to Laragon and have recently downloaded it as a tool to help me learn php and the laravel framework.
The problem I'm having is that when I run Laragon and click the Start All button, everything seems fine, I can click on the Web button and it'll take me to the localhost etc, however when I right click and select "Quick create" i get a message dialog saying "You must click [Start All] first!"
You'll notice that the service is running yet I'm still getting the message dialog when attempting to create any project type.
I have no idea why this is happening and seem to be the only person who has encountered this problem.
Can anybody help?
Thanks

@Ryucchi:
Why only nginx it is running?
Pleasestart also MySQL
as Laragon will need it running to auto create MySQL database for you.
For example, if you want to create "coolapp" project, you'll have:- C:\laragon\www\coolapp
- a database name "coolapp"

@leokhoa I was following directly the tutorial here: http://www.danfletcherblog.ca/2017/02/install-laravel-5-4-windows-fast-using-laragon-✔/
The steps are literally:
First, install Laragon
Get the download from this page: https://laragon.org/download.html
Click either “Full + Nginx” or “Full + Apache” – whatever your preference. If you don’t have a preference, choose Nginx. It’s the server used on Laravel’s Homestead.
Once download finishes just run the installer, and keep all the default settings.
- click “Start All”
- right-click anywhere on the window
- click on “quick create”
- select and click on “Laravel”
- type the name of your project
- click “OK”
Because it didn't mention installing MySQL or Apache I assumed it came packaged with the Laragon install and the default settings would deal with everything else.
-
@Ryucchi: You don't need to install MySQL as Laragon Full already has MySQL but you need to start it (please check Menu > MySQL)
-
On the tutorial you mentioned, see MySQL is running...
-
@leokhoa I had to disable MySQL because it was throwing up errors when starting the services:
MySQL 5.1.73
MariaDB
Are you sure I don't have to download MySQL or MariaDB?
Thanks
-
@Ryucchi : From your images, I guess there is a collision between MySQL 5.1 & MariaDB 10.2. Here is how to solve it:
- Shutdown all services
- Rename C:\laragon to C:\laragon.old
- Re-install Laragon Full (Nginx or Apache is fine) to C:\laragon
That's all. I believe it should work for you.

@leokhoa thanks for all the help, this has solved it.

@Ryucchi : Cool, happy coding

How about transferring older version of laravel in my laragon folder ?
