Laragon Lamy

Automated setup for Laragon portable without dependencies.

How to use

  1. Download or clone this repo
  2. Run laragon.bat
  3. Open the installed laragon.exe in C:\laragon
  4. Install the preconfigured packages via laragon menu, Right click > Tools > Quick Add > All
  5. Using laragon menu, Click Menu > Apache > SSL > Enabled
  6. Using laragon menu, Click Menu > Apache > SSL > Add laragon.crt to Trust Store
  7. Finally run settings.bat for final setup

TO DO

Everything is hard coded at the moment, and assumes the user is gonna use the default setup.

  • Allow user to specify where to dump winrar, laragon portable and git portable, currently using C:\Users\Administrator\Downloads
  • Allow user to specify a custom packages conf file to use, currently uses the hard coded packages_conf block
  • Allow user to opt in using nginx instead of deleting it by default
  • (When user uses custom packages.conf sublime won't be installed) Allow user to opt in for other text editor instead of assuming they would use sublime text
  • Ask if user would like to use cmder_mini
  • Test setting up Rails on Laragon (this was difficult than expected, no wonder laragon had a separate repo for rails setup)
  • Prompt user to setup git username and email

Defaults

  • PHP 8.0.9
  • Apache 2.4.48
  • PHPMyAdmin 5.1.1
  • MySQL 8.0.26
  • Sublime 4 Portable build 4113
  • Cmder mini 1.3.18
  • Git Portable

Manual Steps for reference

Initial laragon setup

  1. Download laragon portable, run and extract to C:\laragon
  2. Update C:\laragon\usr\packages.conf and include the packages needed to install by laragon
  3. Download all using laragon menu, Right click > Tools > Quick Add > All
  4. Download git portable and extract to C:\laragon\bin\git
    • Don't forget to set up git config --global user.name and git config --global user.email
    • git config --global init.defaultBranch main
    • git branch -m master main
  5. Add sublime path to Environment PATH variable
  6. Select corresponding versions for PHP, Apache, MySQL

Setup Apache

  1. This step is now moved as the final override step Using laragon menu, Right click > Apache > SSL > Enabled and Add laragon.crt to Trust Store
  2. Open C:/laragon/bin/apache/httpd-2.4.48-o111k-x64-vs16/conf/httpd.conf
    • Change Define SRVROOT "/Apache24"
    • To Define SRVROOT "C:/laragon/bin/apache/httpd-2.4.48-o111k-x64-vs16"
  3. Open C:/laragon/etc/apache2/httpd.ssl.conf
    • Comment out Listen 443

Set up MySQL

  1. Delete laragon/data/mysql-8
  2. cd to laragon/bin/mysql8.0.0.x/bin folder via cmder
  3. run mysqld --initialize-insecure --console

to test run mysql -u root -p and when it asks for password just hit enter since we already removed the password on step 3.

No need to do following steps steps since --initialize-insecure initializes mysql user without a password 3. run mysqld --initialize --console (remember the password, important for step 6.) 4. run start mysqld 5. run mysql -u root -p 6. put in the password from 6. 7. You are now in mysql shell and can remove the password again: ALTER USER 'root'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY ''; 8. run exit and ctrl + c the spawned tab from step 4.

Install Composer

  1. cd C:\laragon\bin\composer
  2. php -r "copy('https://getcomposer.org/installer', 'composer-setup.php');"
  3. php -r "if (hash_file('sha384', 'composer-setup.php') === '756890a4488ce9024fc62c56153228907f1545c228516cbf63f885e036d37e9a59d27d63f46af1d4d07ee0f76181c7d3') { echo 'Installer verified'; } else { echo 'Installer corrupt'; unlink('composer-setup.php'); } echo PHP_EOL;"
  4. php composer-setup.php

Install Laravel globally

  1. composer global require laravel/installer

Override laragon config [fixes ssl issue]

  1. Open C:\laragon\bin\laragon\tpl\openssql.conf
  2. Open C:\laragon\usr\tpl\openssql.conf.tpl
  3. Open C:\laragon\etc\ssl\openssql.conf
  4. Change keyUsage = keyEncipherment, dataEncipherment
  5. To keyUsage = nonRepudiation, digitalSignature, keyEncipherment
  6. Reload Apache - Laragon will generate new SAN certificate
  7. Click Menu > Apache > SSL > Add laragon.crt to Trust Store

Replace laragon cmder with updated cmder mini

Since cmder mini is installed already via laragon package that we had customized we can just rename it.

  1. Rename C:\laragon\bin\cmder to cmder.bak
  2. Rename C:\laragon\bin\cmdermini to cmder
  3. Copy the following from C:\laragon\bin\cmder.bak\vendor\init.bat
:: Laragon Start -------------------------------------------------------------------


if exist "%CMDER_ROOT%\..\git" (
    set "GIT_INSTALL_ROOT=%CMDER_ROOT%\..\git"
)

if exist "%GIT_INSTALL_ROOT%\post-install.bat" (
    echo Running Git for Windows one time Post Install....
    pushd "%GIT_INSTALL_ROOT%"
    call "%GIT_INSTALL_ROOT%\git-bash.exe" --no-needs-console --hide --no-cd --command=post-install.bat
    @DEL post-install.bat

    popd
    :: cd /d %USERPROFILE%
    rem
)

for /f "delims=" %%i in ("%CMDER_ROOT%\..\..\usr") do set USER_DIR=%%~fi
set USR_DIR=%USER_DIR%



if exist "%CMDER_ROOT%\..\laragon\laragon.cmd" (
    :: call Laragon own commands
    call "%CMDER_ROOT%\..\laragon\laragon.cmd"
)

if exist "%USER_DIR%\user.cmd" (
    rem create this file and place your own command in there
    call "%USER_DIR%\user.cmd"
) else (
    echo Creating user startup file: "%USER_DIR%\user.cmd"
    (
    echo :: use this file to run your own startup commands
    echo :: use  in front of the command to prevent printing the command
    echo.
    echo :: call %%GIT_INSTALL_ROOT%%/cmd/start-ssh-agent.cmd
    echo :: set PATH=%%USER_DIR%%\bin\whatever;%%PATH%%
    echo.
    echo :: cmd /c start http://localhost 
    echo.
    ) > "%USER_DIR%\user.cmd"
    
    :: cd /d "%CMDER_ROOT%\..\..\www"
    rem
)

:: Laragon End -------------------------------------------------------------------
  1. Then insert it into C:\laragon\bin\cmder\vendor\init.bat after the following lines:
:: some code at the top...

:: Set home path
if not defined HOME set "HOME=%USERPROFILE%"
%print_debug% init.bat "Env Var - HOME=%HOME%"

:: paste it here
  1. This should make laragon detect the updated cmder mini we just installed, to test open laragon.exe and click on Terminal button.
