How to disable Pretty URL in Laragon

Question

How can i completely disable pretty URL feature of Laragon, so for example right now by default in Laragon pretty URL is set as {name}.test where {name} is root folder and test is any string of our choice. so in Laragon i access my wordpress admin (root folder demo ) as:
http://demo.test/wp-admin/
but i want to access it as:
http://localhost/demo/wp-admin/

Answer 1

You can always access the page or web app with http://localhost URL.

If you don't want to use the "pretty url" (a.k.a. virtual host feature), you can turn it of in installer or in Laragon settings.

Images from https://laragon.org/docs/install.html :

Laragon doesn't remove existing virtual host configuration when you turn off "Auto virtual hosts" in configuration.

To remove the virtual host, you have to remove it from the etc/hosts file of your OS. You can use "Edit etc/hosts" from the Laragon's Menu. Remove the lines with #laragon magic! comment. Deleting a project using the Laragon's Menu removes the line from hosts too.

To fully cleanup the virtual server configuration, remove server_name from auto.{project}.test.conf

What you describe is called base_url in wordpress it's called siteurl in the config.

Than just create an apache config like

<virtualhost *:80>
    servername localhost

    DocumentRoot /var/www/
    <Directory /var/www>
        AllowOverride All
        require all granted
    </Directory>
</Virtualhost>
