Followed the steps given on the official google app engine page for installing the sdk for php->
https://developers.google.com/appengine/docs/php/gettingstarted/helloworld
but I get this error in my browser on opening localhost.
The path specified with the --php_executable_path flag () does not exist.
How to set it ?
Installed on Ubuntu.
When starting dev appserver via the script one can pass in --php_executable_path
pointing to the location of your php executable. The reason for the error is that it was unable to find php looking in the path and such. See documentation for example.
$ google_appengine/dev_appserver.py --php_executable_path=/opt/local/bin/php-cgi54 path/to/your/app
Install php5-cgi:
sudo apt-get install php5-cgi
Run app:
dev_appserver.py --php_executable_path=/usr/bin/php-cgi path/to/your/app
UPDATE: On linux use
sudo apt-get install php-cgi
dev_appserver.py --php_executable_path=/usr/bin/php-cgi app.yaml
