Upgrading Laragon from 32bit to 64bit, safe to perform?
-
Is it safe to upgrade my Laragon from 32bit to 64bit by running the installer? Will it wipe my database and projects if I do so? Will all my configurations and files still be intact afterwards? What will happen?

@Dakaa :
I guess you are using Laragon 2 (32-bit). The current version of Laragon is 3.x which had many changes. Therefore, you should follow this guide to upgrade safely:

@leokhoa Thankyou for the quick reply, are those steps tested and verified? Cheers. I may give it a try now, cheers.
-
@Dakaa : They were tested and because Laragon is portable, if you find something wrong, you can go back

@leokhoa I'm facing another problem with having multiple version of PHP.
For example, I have both PHP 5.5 (installed first) and PHP 5.6 (installed second). After switching from PHP 5.5 to 5.6, when I type the command 'php -v' on CMDer, it still say 5.5. It's because of the overlapping PATH (happens on CMDer only). i.e. 'C:\laragon\bin\php\php-5.5.38-Win32-VC11-x64;C:\laragon\bin\php\php-5.6.9-Win32-VC11-x64;' It will always read the first one. How come CMDer doesn't update it's PATH when I switch PHP version?
-
@Dakaa : You should close CMDer after switching so it can update new path.

@leokhoa I found out the problem, I'm not supposed to open CMDer directly from laragon\bin\cmder\Cmder.exe, instead I should open it via Laragon menu, because both methods use different startup script.
Thanks.
