Setup php7.4 Mac OSX alongside php7.3

gistfile1.txt

  brew install shivammathur/php/[email protected]
  export PATH="/opt/homebrew/opt/[email protected]/bin:$PATH"
  pecl install igbinary
  pecl install redis
  pecl install imagick
  brew services restart [email protected]
  curl -sS https://getcomposer.org/installer | php -- --version=1.10.16
  sudo mkdir -p /usr/local/bin
  sudo mv composer.phar /usr/local/bin/composer2
  sudo chmod u+x /usr/local/bin/composer2
  sudo chown root:wheel /usr/local/bin/composer2
  composer2 --version
  

If you run into any issues with extensions being loaded double then check this config file:


vim /opt/homebrew/etc/php/7.4/php.ini


You might see extensions loaded twice like:

extension=redis.so
extension=redis.so

Just comment those out

Change port number here:

vim /opt/homebrew/etc/php/7.4/php-fpm.d/www.conf

This is the line to change:

# From:
# listen = 127.0.0.1:9000
# To below:
listen = 127.0.0.1:9075

Then restart service:

brew services restart [email protected]

Then:

$ lsof -i | grep php
