Error spawning PHP: spawn EACCES

[tjdraper]

I’m running into this error and I’m not quite sure what to do about it. A search through the issues reveals nothing so could be unique to my setup?

Check the permissions on the PHP executable

I got this problem when I had the wrong php.executablePath (and php.validate.executablePath) setting.
I was using /path/to/php/bin/ and changed it to /path/to/php/bin/php.

@tjdraper Are you using this setting? if yes, what is it set to? This is very certainly a problem with your setup, not a bug in the extension

Hi Felix, I have encounter this issue using a MAC. I have set php.executablePath to "php.executablePath": "/Applications/MAMP/conf/php7.2.8/" and I get this error. In this dir there is only two files: php.ini and pear.conf. Any suggestions are appreciated. Thank you.

php.executablePath needs to point to a binary, not a directory.

Try this

VS: Version 1.32.1 (1.32.1)
OS: macOS 10.14.5

  "php.executablePath": "/usr/local/opt/php@7.2/bin/php",
  "php.validate.executablePath": "/usr/local/opt/php@7.2/bin/php",

@sunverwerth Thank you! I'd been searching for the solution for quite a while now and this was super helpful. Thank you! (Don't know why I didn't think of it. LOL. It was kind of a face palm moment.)
