I am having a problem with PhpStorm (10.0.3) on OS X El Capitan throwing a php-cgi not found error on PHP 7 cgi/fastcgi. I tried the solutions offered in "How do I install php-cgi? I tried MacPort, Package and everything else but none works", but these did not work. I've consulted this: http://blog.jetbrains.com/phpstorm/2013/09/built-in-webserver-in-phpstorm/ but it is not helpful. I also tried a cgi install of PHP 5.6 but this has the same problem as PHP 7.
I have installed PHP70-cgi using macport and verified the install is cgi-fcgi:
$ php-cgi70 -v
PHP 7.0.2 (cgi-fcgi) (built: Jan 19 2016 16:48:28)
Copyright (c) 1997-2015 The PHP Group
Zend Engine v3.0.0, Copyright (c) 1998-2015 Zend Technologies
When I try to use php-cgi70 from within PhpStorm it appears to incorrectly default to CLI:
PHP version: 7.0.2
PHP CLI: /opt/local/bin/php-cgi70 PHP CGI: Not Installed (php-cgi sapi is necessary to use built-in web server)
Loaded Configuration File: /opt/local/etc/php70/php.ini
I've also tried the macport install of php-fpm70, but this is not recognized by PhpStorm.
Does anyone have any ideas on resolving this? Thanks in advance.
PhpStorm can't find the PHP CGI binary. Do this on your shell to fix:
cd /opt/local/bin
sudo ln -s php-cgi70 php-cgi
sudo apt-get install php-xdebug
Another way for macOS is to install PHP all together with simple cURL:
curl -s https://php-osx.liip.ch/install.sh | bash -s 7.2
OR install Homebrew and then PHP with CGI (better practice):
/usr/bin/ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"brew install php72 --with-cgi --with-debug --with-libmysqlAnd link it in PhpStorm:
