Are you interested? I tried to keep the video short and focused only on the install process for Laragon and WordPress. Those who prefer to read will find step-by-step install instructions, as well as a bit more information on the options available, below the video. There are several installers for different development stacks. Some of them you need for even basic WordPress work.
Others are installed to help automate common tasks, while others are options you might want to use some time in the future. The installer is MB and once installed it takes up about MB on disk before you install your development sites.
The installed version is a bit large, but the runtime is fast and lightweight. It may take some time to unpack. Once it starts, you can just accept the installer defaults. You can change any option you see during the install later. I mention this because you can access the Laragon dashboard from the system tray when it is running.
If you want to run Laragon automatically then you can check those options. I use my computer for activities in addition to programming and site building, so I prefer to start it manually when needed. The file locations are important.
If you need to move the Laragon folder to another location on your computer, or if you need to copy it to another computer, you can use those options to set the new location.
Laragon will set it up for you so that you can type that into your web browser address bar and go to your local site. The value in that box is what Laragon is going to use. You should leave these at their defaults unless you need to change them and understand what might be involved. It is not perfect, as your web browsers will complain about the SSL certificate since it was not issued by a recognized authority. You will see the success message with the username you have used offering a button to log in to your WordPress admin panel.
Now, you can start testing new plugins and themes. In my starting days, I used to be so scared because of the legit stories about the websites getting slow because of the poorly-coded plugins.
So I decided to create my own local environment which helped me a lot. Since then I have been using it to try new things. You can break anything you want, learn more, it takes only a few minutes to create a new local server. This is the most vital question to answer. Whether you're a techie person or not, you should think from a futuristic perspective. No one else is going to do it for you.
Creating the local environment helps you embrace your skills and makes you independent. I hope you can follow the above-mentioned steps. Take each step carefully and try not to make any mistake. Even if you do, try again.
This local environment is going to help you explore more about the WordPress platform, its plugins, and themes. You can also create an offline website. Using WAMP is the easiest way to do so.
Although we have the alternative still it's better to choose with what you're comfortable. If you still face any problem, feel free to ask. Full Name - we show it in the review in different places on our website and inside our widgets on 3rd party websites if they use it.
All these are connected via PHP, the programming language. The package is referred to as the stack server. You have a combined package here for this purpose. All that you need is to install it on your computer. You will install all the necessary services. If you are developing your website, then you can use this package to develop and test your website locally before you make it live on the internet.
WordPress web-developers are the biggest beneficiary of this. When it comes to starting the process, all that you need to do is to click on the start button in the case of XAMPP. There is no such button in the case of WAMP. I also set my user for any host. However, on a live production server, you should minimize the amount of privileges you give your MySQL users to improve security.
We will edit our WordPress config file wp-config. For other websites that are not running WordPress, the process will be much the same. This has been a long setup process so far, but what you have now is a local website that has the same configuration as your live server. Syncing your website files is quite easy.
With all the settings the same as your live website, FTP is the best option. You might be thinking, what about direct file paths though? As long as you have used relative paths to set your document root where needed, then you will be all set. When it comes to your database, you have a few options. On the Export screen, you have several options.
At the top of the screen, you will see the Export section. This is where you will select what tables you want to export. Beside this section is the Options section. I have found that phpMyAdmin has all the settings needed already set by default. The main area to look at is the Data options. If you require the data on your local database to be imported on the live server, then tick this box.
While it is possible to export all the data and structure at once for the entire database, I recommend only updating what has changed in the database. A good rule is to always replicate data from your live website to your local development website, but only send the changed structural data back.
Also, back up your live database before any changes. Most web hosts will have phpMyAdmin available to you. To import the data to the live site, access phpMyAdmin and select your database. In the top menu next to the Export link, there will be the Import tab. Before you do anything, you should backup your database first!
Importing a MySQL database on a live site is very straightforward.
