Laragon auto startup on Windows Server 2008
-
Hi,
I'm using Laragon 2.2.2 on Windows Server 2008 R2 Enterprise and I would like to get Laragon to start automatically when the server is restarted. If it's of any further help I am using MariaDB (running on port 3306) and Apache (running on port 8000).
I have tried the following:
- Switching on the following settings in Laragon:
- "Preferences > General > Run Laragon when Windows starts"
- "Preferences > General > Start All automatically"
However, Laragon does not start even after logging in via remote desktop.
- Looking for Apache and MariaDB/MySQL in services.msc and setting the "Startup Type" to automatic, but I could not find any of these services?
I've also found I have to right click on Laragon and to run as administrator to get it to run properly, otherwise, I receive lots of errors once Laragon starts.
Any suggestions on how I could get this to work?
Thank you!

I want Laragon to be portable, so I make my own service management. It's faster than Windows Services but just suitable for development.
However, you can make Apache and MariaDB run as Services easily yourself.
Here's how:-
Uncheck "Run Laragon when Windows starts"
-
Run
Laragon as Administrator
, then openLaragon's Terminal
and type:
httpd.exe -k install -n LaragonApache mysqld --install LaragonMariaDB
- Start the services:
net start LaragonApache net start LaragonMariaDB
That's all.
Note: When quitting, Laragon will try to stop the services. I will improve the behavior on next version.

@leokhoa Thanks so much for your reply!
I'll look more into what these commands are doing before I use them and then try experimenting.
By the way, do you have a way Laragon users can contribute a donation to the Laragon project? I have benefitted a lot from this tool and the support on the forum is fantastic. I would be happy to make a small donation if possible. Thank you.

@jpnr79 : New version of Laragon will help you create Windows services a breeze. Stay tune...

I created the Windows Services as indicated. Most of my web apps worked well but one them read files from a network mapped drive.... this way I can't access these files.
How could I do It?Thanks!

@almirb : I guess it is related to folder permissions.
