Unable to get installation correct... Follow
I am running OS X 10.10; I just downloaded PhpStorm and installed it in the Applications folder. I started it, and pasted some existing PHP code into it that I want to debug. Now want to start the debugger to see what problems are in the code and I get this message:
What is it looking for? I assumed a web browser, so I set FireFox as my default browser, and now I get this error message:
No matter how many times I click on Fix, I get the same message (Google Chrome is NOT the default browser, nor is it clicked in the list of browsers!).
I think I need some help here! :D

Hi there,
PHP interpreter.
That's different one. This one looks like you are trying to do some JavaScript debug (which for the moment "properly" works in Chrome only).
So far it looks like you are mixing different things together here...
No, I don't have any JavaScript... just pure PHP...
Work for what? Can you clarify the context?
Never mind the last post... I don't want the debugger, I want the run, which works... thanks anyway!
1. PhpStorm does not come with actual PHP that will execute your code -- you have to have your own / install it yourself. Depending on your OS and your skills you may install it from compiled sources, install as a part of some phpdev bundle (like MAMP/XAMPP/WAMP etc) .. or even compile it from sources.
2. You also have to install and configure debugging extension in your PHP (because PHP does not come with any debugger already in that is supported by PhpStorm -- xdebug or Zend Debugger -- it has to be installed separately)
3. After you confirm that it's all configured -- only then you can debug

You are answering your own questions / editing them faster than I'm able to type, :)
In any case: I'm glad you have resolved your issues and made it work.
Your last answer (post) did it... I've got a path to follow now. Thank you very much, I appreciate your patience. :D
