Maybe you can read this thread: enter link description here

I have kinda this problem too, running on osx 10.13 with php mamp 8.1.x

First you need to check list port that php server running by this command on terminal:

ps -ef | grep php

then this will result

  501   714   637   0  3:21PM ??         1:35.58 php /Users/oreyon/.vscode/extensions/zobo.php-intellisense-1.1.3/vendor/felixfbecker/language-server/bin/php-language-server.php --tcp=127.0.0.1:49712 --memory-limit=4095M
  501  6428  6359   0  5:02PM ttys006    0:00.14 php spark serve
  501  6429  6428   0  5:02PM ttys006    0:00.05 /Applications/MAMP/bin/php/php8.1.13/bin/php -S localhost:8080 -t /Applications/MAMP/htdocs/siabsensmkn3/public/ /Applications/MAMP/htdocs/siabsensmkn3/vendor/codeigniter4/framework/system/Commands/Server/rewrite.php
  501  6471  6431   0  5:02PM ttys007    0:00.00 grep php

The column number 2 is the PID port

You can type on terminal

kill 6428

this will remove process pid 6428 which is spark serve process

check again list PID with

ps -ef | grep php

if there is no php spark on the list, then you have succeeded

  501   714   637   0  3:21PM ??         1:35.58 php /Users/oreyon/.vscode/extensions/zobo.php-intellisense-1.1.3/vendor/felixfbecker/language-server/bin/php-language-server.php --tcp=127.0.0.1:49712 --memory-limit=4095M
  501  6532  6477   0  5:09PM ttys007    0:00.00 grep php

Don't forget to close terminal on php spark serve you running on, for me even if i kill the PID the list still will be there if we no close the terminal.

you can try running the spark serve with command:

php spark serve --port=8080

so you use only one port.

To prevent another port process the same serve, you can running spark serve on terminal.

So when you press control + c the spark serve will stop, no notification though, but you can make sure this will work or no with ps -ef | grep php

Hope this help
