Issue with Valet+?

[PieterCappelle]

Hi Nico,

I'm new to the PHP Monitor application. I'm using Valet+ for several years but I always wanted an interface like PHP Monitor. Looks very promosing. Everytime I start the application I'm receiving the following error. Do you have any idea why?

Everything is working perfect in my Valet+ environment. PHP, MySQL, Redis, ... . No issues at all. Any idea or do you want to help me debugging this one?

Thanks in advance!

Valet+ is not supported, and that's why you're probably getting this error. I recommend that you switch to the official Valet distribution. PHP Monitor actually checks if your socket configuration is correct as expected, which it does here.

That being said, you can work around this check by creating a valet-fpm.conf file (which you can leave empty) to bypass the message. You would need to do this for every version of PHP you are using.

For PHP 8.1, that would be:

touch /usr/local/etc/php/8.1/php-fpm.d/valet-fpm.conf

If you are on Apple Silicon, you would need to run:

touch /opt/homebrew/etc/php/8.1/php-fpm.d/valet-fpm.conf

Again, repeat this for all PHP versions you're using (use the short version number, e.g. 8.1, 8.0, 7.4, etc.) and you should be fine.

PHP 5.6 is a little bit more complicated and requires valet.sock as a string in the .conf file. You can do this with a comment in /usr/local/etc/php/5.6/php-fpm.conf:

# workaround for phpmon: valet.sock

Let me know if this helped.

Hi Nico,

Thanks for the answer. I've created the valet-fpm.conf files. The application crashes after some seconds. I've added the DiagnosticReport in attachment. Maybe you see something?

Maybe because I'm using valet-php instead of php?

[nicoverbruggen]

Ah yes, the way these different versions of PHP are handled in Valet+ is different from regular Valet, which is causing the crash.

Sadly, there is no workaround for this... phpmon assumes you're using a regular Valet setup (with different services). There's just a few things that are wildly different in Valet+ that are simply incompatible with the app :/

If you'd like to use PHP Monitor I encourage you to try the regular Valet again, which has received plenty of features that were added to Valet+ initially.

(If you depend on redis, mailhog etc., which are not integrated in PHP Monitor either, you can start those using Homebrew: e.g. brew services start redis.)

Okay, thank you for the information Nico! I'm mostly using Valet+ for the default MySQL integration, valet tower command & valet db create, valet db open commands. We can close this discussion.
