[v7.0.1] I think Laragon needs to auto restart when PHP version is changed

[MackSix]

If I change PHP versions while the services are running, it throws an Entry Point Not Found error message. If I restart all services, it works. Of course the website doesn't load either. It did this on Laragon v6.0.0 too.

The workaround is to stop everything and restart it. Restarting Apache only, doesn't work.

Hey, it looks like this issue, no ? => #650

Did you tried to update your Apache httpd version ? Like to version 2.4.63 ?

No, it is normal for it to do that when changing PHP versions while everything is running. You have to restart everything manually.

I don't know why but I had this issue with missing extensions with PHP 8.4.2 - it looks like I downloaded the wrong zip. Please go sure that you are using this download page: https://windows.php.net/download#php-8.3 and try it again.

Fixed in Laragon 8.0.0 #1058

Tip: Using PHP NTS would be better as it it is running on different process than Apache.
