Quick start: How to use cronical in Laragon
Usually, CMS and other software need to run tasks periodically. This can be realizied by running a website script (e.h. with a specific path) or running a console command - on Webhosting plattforms often incentived with a better performance, less overhead and longer script runtime.
Luckily, Laragon comes with Cronical to run those tasks as you would on an own server.
Also, have a look at these resources first as
- First, run
C:\laragon\bin\cronical\Cronical.exe --installfrom your command line. - To start the service manually, run
net start cronicalafterwards.
If succeded, you'll find the first log next to cronical.exe in C:\laragon\\bin\cronical\ (or wherever your installation of Laragon is)
Also, have a look at these resources first, as long as this Wiki page is just about to be created.
Croincal came with a default configuration file cronical.dat that contains this information:
