@ frizzel - I am very happy with Laragon and it is working very well apart from the fact that I cannot get the SSL working. I've googled the subject and tried basically everything with no success. Can you please offer some advice?
The boxes are grayed out in the dashboard as attached.

@yuval Grayed out url's mean they are statically set in wp-config.php. They look something like:

PHP:
define('WP_HOME','http://example.com');
define('WP_SITEURL','http://example.com');

Just remove those 2 lines.
Then change http to https in your WordPress Admin Settings. You'll be locked out after that change but you'll have SSL, provided you have enabled that in Laragon's settings under Preferences --> Services & Ports.

Hope this helps.

Thank you so much. Unfortunately those 2 lines were not there.
After installing WordPress via Quick app, in config.php file it adds the following:

if ( ! defined( 'WP_CLI' ) ) {
define( 'WP_SITEURL', $_SERVER['REQUEST_SCHEME'] . '://' . $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] );
define( 'WP_HOME', $_SERVER['REQUEST_SCHEME'] . '://' . $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] );
}


Remove them, and then that will prevent the greyed out URLs, however the site will not load, and then this has to be rectified:

A bit involved but everything is working perfectly and I absolutely love the program.
Thanks again frizzel.
 
Ah yes, I remember there were some problems with SSL, although I didn't do what you linked to above, but I had to manually 'trust' the certificate in Chrome.
I also added this to wp-config:
PHP:
define('FORCE_SSL_ADMIN', true);

Hi champs, do we have the DesktopServer Premium v3.9.3 or not ?
Hi, JSmith2Test!
I use free version of DesktopServer, the lastest one is v3.9.4. Why do you not use a free version? It mantain 3 sites, and has a good amount of of options. If you interesting I have MAMP PRO for Windows, probably the latest version, and it has a lot of options comparing with DesktopServer Premium.

share please mam pro. thanks in advance
 
Thanks for sharing @Japan but reading through the documentation of MAMP Pro it pales in comparison to Laragon. E.g. the installation of WordPress and settings of virtual hosts are done automatically in Laragon, while in MAMP you have to do that manually.

So, I keep saying (for Windows users): Laragon is the top of local server development, and it's totally free!

HI, Frizzel.
Personally I didn't test Laragon. But I hope it is promising. It is subject for taste what to use for local development: Flywheel, WAMP, Bitnami, WebMatrix.
