It is extremely easy and straightforward to add a new version of Apache to Laragon. Assume we want to use Apache 2.4.56, here’s how:
- Download the Apache 2.4.56 binary files for Windows from Apache Lounge (https://www.apachelounge.com/download/):
Click the “httpd-2.4.56-win64-VS17.zip” to download:
https://www.apachelounge.com/download/VS17/binaries/httpd-2.4.56-win64-VS17.zip - Extract the downloaded files to Laragon’s Apache folder on your computer:
C:\laragon\bin\apache\httpd-2.4.56-win64-VS17
NOTE*: If files are extracted to a sub folder “Apache24”, you may need to move all of them to C:\laragon\bin\apache\httpd-2.4.56-win64-VS17 - Click Laragon’s “Menu” (or Right-click Laragon UI), select the new version — “Menu > Apache> Version > httpd-2.4.56-win64-VS17”
That’s all folks!

If Apache is running, Laragon will automatically Stop then Start again to update the desired version. You may need to Stop then Start Laragon manually if this doesn’t work.
