Unable to run google app engine script with PHP

So, I'm trying to run the Hello World script but whenever I run dev_appserver.py I hit a wall.

Here's the error log from the script:

$ appengine/dev_appserver.py --php_executable_path=/usr/local/bin/php-cgi HelloWorld

...

ERROR 2016-03-29 12:57:30,588 php_runtime.py:348] The PHP runtime is not available Traceback (most recent call last): File "/Users//desktop/appengine/google/appengine/tools/devappserver2/php_runtime.py", line 344, in new_instance self._check_binaries(php_executable_path, gae_extension_path) File "/Users//desktop/appengine/google/appengine/tools/devappserver2/php_runtime.py", line 284, in _check_binaries cls._check_environment(php_executable_path, env) File "/Users//desktop/appengine/google/appengine/tools/devappserver2/php_runtime.py", line 259, in _check_environment raise _PHPEnvironmentError(check_process_stdout) _PHPEnvironmentError: No input file specified.

As a background to my El Capitan setup...

I've previously updated PHP to 5.5 using:

curl -s http://php-osx.liip.ch/install.sh | bash -s 5.5

But I've also downloaded via HomeBrew php54 and that's what should be running the php-cgi script I've posted in the executable path above.

Any thoughts?

Have you checked to ensure that the php runtime is available in your path? What happens if you call the runtime from your commandline? - Dan O'Boyle

So turns out, the answer was pretty obvious - I'd installed the Go SDK rather than the PHP one! Google's website scrolls to the wrong place when you click PHP. Many hours wasted trying to fix this one - never mind. Hope this helps another as simple as me!

if you already installed google-cloud-sdk run this command :

gcloud components install app-engine-php-darwin

you won't need to specify that path after this
