Hey Susan! Your video is so awesome and your voice is just perfect! Thank you for this magnificent tutorial 🤩 Can you also do Herd with Redis without Pro please? Thank you ☺️
Thanks for the comment and support :) Noted on the Redis request! Could make for a nice series - how to manually set up/use all the services you get with Herd Pro. If this content comes to be, I will post a reply here letting you know. Thanks again for the note.
Great video thank you! Getting my brother into Coding & Laravel and Herd's awesome! Just can't lean into Pro for him just yet jic it doesn't stick so this is awesome 🚀🚀
@@codewithsusan thanks! and upgraded another mate from laragon to Herd too. Your instructions worked like a bomb. The bit you showed in checking if Mysql service is active also came in handy in a repeat session when there was a db 500 error. Easy check, easy start easy solve
hi Susan, it's the first time for me watching a Tutorial created by a Woman,(best experience ever)! I don't know Xactly how to thank you for your precision in this Video with only a minimum on commands to the point. I' m from Germany my English knowledge is based on schooltime. Thank you and go on.
Thank you for the great video. When I php artisan migrate I get a mysql driver not found error. Using the command php -m |grep mysql, it shows that mysqli and mysqlnd are installed. Is there a way to add the mysql driver without paying for the Pro plan?
cheers for this, only heard of herd and having the ability to run docker on my machine where it spikes the ram right out, this is a second best and with not having a pro plan on herd, this video made up for loss knowledge :) thank you.
Great video Susan! Heidi is what I use. Susan, for local dev on my windows computer I use Laragon. I would love to switch over to Herd, just not sure how smooth the transition would be. If I move my current Laragon sites to Herd, will the git stay intact? 🤔🤔 Also, once I install Herd, I'm thinking to add another path where I would store my Laravel projects and that would be in OneDrive directory so my projects get automatically backed up. If I install Herd , should I uninstall Laragon, will there be any conflicts if I keep both? 🤔🤔
If you have many projects running you should consider versiining them with git. That way no matter the environment you'll be able to run it (be that laragon, Herd or docker). Don't put your projects on online storages, they just are not made for that.
@kernah7688 - You can keep both Herd and Laragon. Just make sure to stop all your services (Nginx, MySQL, etc.) between switching between the two to avoid port conflicts. You don't even have to move projects to experiment with both Herd and Laragon. You could just add your Laragon root directory as one of the directories that Herd watches. All good questions - I might put together a video on migrating from Laragon to Herd for those that are interested. 👍
Hi. I'm having problems with downloading the MySQL installer. When I do it's listed as "mysql-examples-8.0.38.msi" rather than mysql installer web community, and when I try to run, it launches for a second and terminates immediately. Is there something I need to do first?
Yes, that's possible. In Laragon, right click the "Start All" button and you'll find the option to start individual services so you can just start MySQL without starting Apache. Then just make sure your application’s DB settings in .env are set appropriately for connecting to Laragaon’s MySQL. Example default settings: DB_CONNECTION=mysql DB_HOST=127.0.0.1 DB_PORT=3306 DB_DATABASE=your_database_name DB_USERNAME=root DB_PASSWORD=
Yup, that should work, and is an interesting approach - using something like WAMP/Laragon just for MySQL, and do everything else in Herd. Hadn't thought of that. If you try it and it doesn't work, let me know and I can test it out on my end.
This was a real life saver. i have spend days to get a propper development environment set up and this was just so easy to follow. thank you!

Great video. Clean, concise clear and to the point. Love it!
Thank you for your smooth explanations! Exactly what i needed. Also you have a nice voice to listen to :)

Very well explained. Thanks for making this video.
The hero we all need! Well done!
Would be cool if you made videos about how to achieve all the other "Pro" features without paying for Pro.

am using laragon, and have mysql there already, can i somehow use from there and connect to herd?
Yes, that's possible. In Laragon, right click the "Start All" button and you'll find the option to start individual services so you can just start MySQL without starting Apache.

@@codewithsusan great that works, ty susan :)
Amazing video..Mam
i have already installed mysql with wampserver will it still work?
Yup, that should work, and is an interesting approach - using something like WAMP/Laragon just for MySQL, and do everything else in Herd. Hadn't thought of that. If you try it and it doesn't work, let me know and I can test it out on my end.
It doesn’t work, maybe because of conflict between herd and wamp
Nice...
This video is now outdated. AS Dbngin is released for windows. You can use it to setup Postgres and Mysql easily on windows.
you are my angel susan
unfortunately there is only one like button, i cant thank you enough
Amazing video, very informative and to the point. Thank you!
Thank you!
