Answer 1

First of all, update your Apache version.

After go to c:\laragon\etc\apacke2\mode_php.conf

change: LoadModule php8_module to LoadModule php_module

The overall change:

From this:

# This file is auto-generated, so please keep it intact.
LoadModule php8_module "C:/laragon/bin/php/php-8.2.0-Win32-vs16-x64/php8apache2_4.dll"
PHPIniDir "C:/laragon/bin/php/php-8.2.0-Win32-vs16-x64"
<IfModule mime_module>
    AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
</IfModule>

To this:

# This file is auto-generated, so please keep it intact.
LoadModule php_module "C:/laragon/bin/php/php-8.2.0-Win32-vs16-x64/php8apache2_4.dll"
PHPIniDir "C:/laragon/bin/php/php-8.2.0-Win32-vs16-x64"
<IfModule mime_module>
    AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
</IfModule>

so php8_module will be php_module
