PHP service not starting

[adriaanzon]

I don't remember exactly how my system got into this state, but for some reason Valet doesn't seem to recognise / be able to start my PHP-FPM.

When I visit a Valet site in my browser, it displays "Safari Can't Connect to the Server" (or ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED in Chrome).

When I run valet restart, it doesn't change anything about the php brew service (per brew services list output). There also isn't a php-fpm service running. When I run brew services start php (or sudo brew services start php) manually, a php-fpm process gets started, but Valet doesn't seem to pick it up, I still cannot visit any of my sites.

openssl@1.1 is keg-only, which means it was not symlinked into /usr/local,

because macOS provides LibreSSL.

Do you have a /usr/local/etc/php/7.4/php-fpm.d/valet-fpm.conf file?

I think I'd start with the following to remove PHP 7.4 and its config, and have Valet reinstall+reconfigure things:

rm -rf `/usr/local/etc/php/7.4`

#this will probably say @7.4 isn't installed; that's fine
brew remove php@7.4

brew remove php

# if "brew remove" gives any errors about needing to use sudo to remove some directories, do that and continue

valet install

[adriaanzon]

I did have a /usr/local/etc/php/7.4/php-fpm.d/valet-fpm.conf file. I followed your steps to remove PHP. It did recognise php@7.4 for removal.

After running valet install, the problem is still unresolved. For some reason, the output mentions that nginx and dnsmasq weren't installed, while they actually were installed...

When I run valet install again, I get the exact same output.

[soilSpoon]

Would you like to run brew list | grep php?

If my predictions are correct, it may have something to do with #1003.

valet/cli/Valet/Brew.php

Line 166 in 21f0549

function restartService($services)

valet/cli/Valet/Brew.php

Line 49 in 21f0549

function installed($formula)

If you check the restartService method of Brew class, it is checked with the installed method, which is solved in #1003.

[adriaanzon]

I get the same message as you described in #1003:

 $ brew list | grep php
Error: Calling `brew list` to only list formulae is disabled! Use `brew list --formula` instead.

[ehben83]

i have the same issue since this morning ... wondering if there is not a problem since I did brew upgrade and php8.0 creates some confusion with valet (even after a valet use php@7.4)

@adriaanzon Try brew list --formula | grep php instead

Also, what do you see with :
brew services list

[drbyte]

Manually applying the changes in #1003 seems to resolve it for me.

[mattstauffer]

Released in v2.13.3. Please feel free to re-open if that didn't fix. Thanks!

[subhadipghorui]

How to fix it on windows??

I restart valet multiple times but its not working
