Once this is done, we expand the view and go to the Performance tab, where we can see the different views of the hardware installed on our computer and that is where you can see the text Virtualization: Enabled or not. To see what the status of our hardware is, we will open the task manager by pressing the Ctrl + Shift + Esc keys at the same time (simultaneously) or by right-clicking on the taskbar and selecting the task manager option. In the BIOS of the computer, the virtualization option must be enabled, just like when you want to run the virtual machines VMWare and VirtualBOX. The server is accessed from the browser in Windows with the url: localhost or 127.0.0.1, but it can also be accessed from any other computer in the Local Area Network knowing the IP assigned to the Windows computer host of the WSL2 subsystem installed on that computer and that it also has an IP that is different from the Windows system (see the procedure at the end of the guide). WSL2 is not a graphical Linux environment as provided in the default installation (for now) but as a web server it is not required at any time.Įven so, there are tutorials on the Internet to give you access to WSL2 through a graphical user environment (At the end of the guide, one of those procedures is used to allow user access in a graphical environment).
It is a major new version, which means that it will introduce some major changes, as well as many new features and performance improvements.Īs this installation is for development and not for production, it is logical to use PHP 8.0 instead of PHP 7.4 and to test existing systems and their compatibility with this version, as well as the creation of new applications.Īn installation of a Local Web Server in the wsl2 subsystem allows to have a true integrated Linux system with their files accessible from Windows and with Windows applications, in addition to sharing the clipboard to copy and paste between the 2 systems (with Ctrl + C / Ctrl + V) in an easier way than with a kind of type VMWare or VirtualBox virtual machine.
