Install Laragon, PhpMyAdmin + Wordpress + SSL in Windows 10

Learn how to install Laragon on Windows 10, add PhpMyadmin, launch a website, and enable SSL in this video. Start by downloading the Laragon installer by searching “Download and install Laragon” on your favorite browser. Choose “Download Laragon full version” with Apache 2.4, Nginx, MySQL 8, PHP 8, Redis, Memcached, Node.js 18, NPM, and Git included. Once downloaded, run the installer, and choose the destination location. Tick “Start with Windows” if you want Laragon to start with Windows. Next, start all the services by clicking on the “Start all” button. Before starting the services, check if port 80 and 3306 are already used by other services by using the netstat command. If port 80 or other ports are being used, stop the process by opening the task manager, finding the process number, and stopping it. Once the services are started, go to your browser, and type “localhost” to test if Laragon is working correctly. To access PhpMyadmin for database management, download the PhpMyadmin software, and move the extracted folder to the Laragon installation path. Rename the folder to “phpmyadmin” and stop the mysql service and restart it. Then, reload the browser to access the PhpMyadmin user interface. To enable SSL, click on “Menu”, “SSL”, and “Quick create” to create a self-signed certificate. Choose the website, and click on the “Auto-create Virtual Host” button. Then, edit the httpd-ssl.conf file to add SSL configurations. Save and restart the Apache service. To test if SSL is working, go to your browser and type “https://localhost”.
