Pretty URLs

Auto Virtual Hosts

One of the useful features of Laragon is Auto Virtual Hosts.

Just put your project (e.g., myapp) in the Document Root (C:\laragon\www) and click the “Reload“ button. You’ll then have this pretty URL:

http://myapp.test

The {name}.test pattern is configurable

You can change the URL format to your preference in Menu > Preferences by updating the {name}.test pattern.

For example, with the myapp project:

{name}.local       ->   myapp.local
{name}.dev.com     ->   myapp.dev.com

Notes

Each project has its own generated Virtual Host file located in:

• For Apache: {LARAGON_ROOT}\etc\apache2\sites-enabled\auto.{project}.test.conf
• For Nginx: {LARAGON_ROOT}\etc\nginx\sites-enabled\auto.{project}.test.conf

The content of a .conf file is auto-generated. If you have a specific project with your own modified content, just remove the auto. prefix; Laragon will keep the content of the .conf file intact.

Virtual Host content is configurable. You can change it by modifying the template in: {LARAGON_ROOT}\usr\tpl\VirtualHost.tpl

The usr folder is where you keep your own configurations. Laragon respects your changes to any files in this folder.
