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:

Click Menu > Quick create > Wordpress
Choose a name, such as mysite
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:

Find out which program is using port 80 by using Menu > Tools > netstat
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!

I had a Wordpress website where I integrated WordPress and Laravel with Google Doc to automatically import content from Doc to WP draft. Is it possible to do the same with laragon and WordPress?

@olivedev - In the article you link to they are using the Laravel framework. Laragon is a different thing. It makes available the PHP (Python and/or NodeJS) languages. I imagine you could install Laravel and use the code you have from your previous project, tweak it, and get it to work with local Laragon. That is not something I've done, so I might not be much help.

In case it is useful, here is an article that goes over a number of other ways of using Google Docs and WordPress (none perhaps as easy as what you used to do):

I just had this problem earlier today. Restarting my PC resolved it for me.

I fixed it by double-checking my firewall settings.

When I first installed, I naturally unticked allowing in public places.

Not so sure how my network is set up, but for whatever reason, Windows is treating my home wifi as a public place.

I went into windows firewall, and disabled the (newly created thanks to me ticking the box during instal!) rules regarding apache and sql... and all is well now.

Hope this helps.

PS with other local build software, I used to have to do this also:
In the start box of windows type: services.msc >Scroll down to "World Wide Web Publishing" >Right Click / "STOP"
