Wordpress in laragon

[mamad86]

Hi, I want to install the wordpress locally with Laragon. I used quick create and installed a fresh Wordpress in WWW directory. But when I go to wordpress_Goodnews.dev in my browser it doesn't show any thing:

This page isn’t working
wordpress_Goodnews.dev didn’t send any data.

What should I do?
Thanks

@mamad86 : What is actually the name of the project you created? wordpress or wordpress_first?
Some images will be helpful.

The name is correct. I just installed wordpress with laravel quick create and directory is created. How can I run it? clicking on Menu->www->wordpress_Goodnews direct me to wordpress_Goodnews.dev in my browser. Image for what part?!

@mamad86 : Creating Wordpress site is easy. Here's how:

1. Click Menu > Quick create > Wordpress
2. Choose a name, such as mysite
3. Laragon will download Wordpress, unzip and put it to www\mysite. It also create a database name mysite.

Then, you'll have a Wordpress site at: http://mysite.dev
That's all.

I exactly did these steps but I got the page in the picture...

@mamad86 : I wonder what is using port 80. I don't think the result is coming from Laragon. Can you try:

1. Find out which program is using port 80 by using Menu > Tools > netstat
2. ping mysite.dev and give me the result.

@mamad86 : It's the Apache in Laragon. Very strange. I think you may go with Nginx.

Laravel works fine and problem is with wordpress. In laravel I use php artisan serve and localhost:8000 and clicking on Web button in Laragon does not work(it directs me to localhost:8080). Maybe I should change some configuration.

I had the same problem. My solution was to replace _ (underscore-sign) with something else (like -) in the folders name.
Hope it helps.

@DPSchn
Thanks, but it didn't solve the problem.

Have you changed any settings during or after the install? I wonder if uninstalling and reinstalling using the defaults would work? What a puzzle. Sorry you are having a hard time.

@DPSchn Your solution worked for me. Thanks!
