how to solve
xampp is legacy and bad configured. The best solution for local web-servers is OpenServer (5 or 6 version, they're different a lot, but both <3). xampp is more promoted and famous, but it's like a broken crutch which is highly not recommended to use, while OpenServer is made proper, right and working without any problems
@NDruce where can I get this ?
You can use Laragon.
Or even better, use the official Laravel dev environment, Laravel Herd.
@Tray2 Oh I was sure that Herd was only for MacOS.
Is there any equivalent version for Ubuntu ?
@vincent15000 No linux version no.
@Tray2 I other wordpress also, can I use wordpress in herd ?
@vincent15000 I other wordpress also, can I use wordpress here?
@Tray2 Creating a "laravel/laravel" project at "./my-project" The following exception indicates a possible issue with the Avast Firewall Check https://getcomposer.org/local-issuer for details

@arctushar yes, you can use any php application/framework
@arctushar when you use Herd, you don't need to install composer, it's bundled in the app.
@Tray2 but laravel not installing, same problem
@arctushar It looks like your avast firewall is blocking you, either turn it of temporarily when you create a new project, or make sure it's allowed to access the internet.
When installing composer, tell composer where php is.
@jlrdw already I did it that time
Before composer global, i used this:
/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://php.new/install/linux/8.4)"
