## Common wahala dem

### Follow XAMPP paths (xampp\htdocs)

Laragon dey use im own www folder and pretty URLs. Wrong stack docs.

### Port 80 or 3306 don already dey taken

IIS, XAMPP, or another MySQL dey run. Stop di oda stack. No delete php.exe.

## How to get unstuck

### Install from laragon.org/download

Full versus portable. laragon.org/docs get first-run info. Skip "Laragon Pro nulled" packs.

Na Laragon host file trick bi dat. XAMPP localhost/project na different style.
