Won't start

[dylanh724]

EDITED

Created dir *C:\Test*

npm install --save-dev gulp-connect-php

Browse to C:\Test\node_modules\gulp-connect-php\

I edited the index.js file to include a console.log("Starting.."); and that now shows ok (so it's doing something),

but when I go to the examples folder and run "node gulpfile", I see starting... and that's it. I browse to the default localhost:8000 and nada. Just in case I try localhost:8000/index.php and nothing (even though it should default to index).

So I edit gulpfile.js and add a "Started" console log msg, and that NEVER shows up. I am using 100% default example, minus the console message!

...Am I doing something wrong?

(Still a node newb, bare with me, but I've followed all the instructions)

You have to setup your environment variables.

Insert the path to your PHP directory into the "PATH" Variable and test it in console with "php -h". If you see php's syntax-help you should be fine.

Path is already set to php5, is 7 required or something?

[dylanh724]

(and that cmd works)

No. You only need at least PHP 5.4 for the integrated Webserver. Can you start a Webserver by cmd via "php -S"?

EDIT: which example do you use exactly? Did you setup the default task in gruntfile.js? Can you post your gruntfile.js and package.json.

yep php -S works great -- strange right? Screen:

I'm on Windows 10 - anything special about w10?
