PHPStorm 8 built-in default port disabling

Question

Each my project is run on a localhost with default PHPStorm port :63342 and it causes many problems like PageNotFound(404) error.

Is there any way to disable this port or just correct it to act like localhost/ Do I need to create a special .htaccess or something?

Answer 1

I would suggest installing MAMP (or similar) to manage your localhost. You can then create a local server configuration within PHPStorm to override the built in server.

More information about creating a local server config here https://www.jetbrains.com/phpstorm/help/creating-a-local-server-configuration.html

The settings can be found here, in the settings panel (note this is PHPStorm 9, but the location is the same.
