Gulp-connect-php无法在一台PC上启动PHP服务器

Question

I have a project that is using node and php. I have been using gulp-connect-php npm package to serve up the php server.

Now I am trying to clone this project over to my laptop from my desktop. I have shrinkwrapped the dependencies and the project is tested to run fine on 2 desktops as soon as I run npm install and gulp after cloning. The problem is that the project doesn't seem to work on my laptop. When I try to run gulp on my laptop, it ran all its gulp tasks except it is not starting the PHP server like so:

PHP 7.0.0 Development Server started at ...
Listening on http://127.0.0.1:8010

What I have in my gulp task:

var browserSync = require('browser-sync');
var gulp        = require('gulp');
var php         = require('gulp-connect-php');

gulp.task('serve', function() {
    php.server({
        base: 'build',
        port: 8010,
        keepalive: true
    }, function() {
        browserSync({
            proxy: '127.0.0.1:8010/build',
            watchTask: true,
            port: 8000
        });
    });
});

What can else can I do to find out why is the PHP server not being started?

Answer 1

You PHP server is already running in build directory.So give proxy value as proxy:127.0.0.1:8010. You can browse you site through localhost:8000.
