    After a fair bit of head scratching, the fix was fairly simple - in file

    C:/laragon/etc/apache2/mod_php.conf

    I changed

    LoadModule php8_module to LoadModule php_module

    It seems Laragon fouls up the auto-configuration of PHP 8

    GOTO

    C:/laragon/etc/apache2/mod_php.conf

    AND REPLACE THIS

    #This file is auto-generated, so please keep it intact.
LoadModule php8_module "C:/laragon/bin/php/php-8.0.6-Win32-vs16-x64/php8apache2_4.dll"
PHPIniDir "C:/laragon/bin/php/php-8.0.6-Win32-vs16-x64"
<IfModule mime_module>
    AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
</IfModule>

    WITH THIS

    #This file is auto-generated, so please keep it intact.
LoadModule php_module "C:/laragon/bin/php/php-8.0.6-Win32-vs16-x64/php8apache2_4.dll"
PHPIniDir "C:/laragon/bin/php/php-8.0.6-Win32-vs16-x64"
<IfModule mime_module>
    AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
</IfModule>
