[Php-java-bridge-users] PhpCGIServlet on MacOS Sierra

I am trying to install PHP/Java bridge on my MacOS (10.12.6 - Sierra). I
downloaded and installed the latest version (7.1.3) as the Tomcat
application. Because Mac’s PHP does not provide pgp-cgi, I am using the PHP
from MAMP:

MBP-Robert-2:bin Robert$ *pwd*

/Users/Robert/Developer/Servers/apache-tomcat-8.5.11/bin

MBP-Robert-2:bin Robert$ *which php-cgi*

/Applications/MAMP/bin/php/php7.1.8/bin/php-cgi

MBP-Robert-2:bin Robert$ *php-cgi -v*

*PHP 7.1.8 (cgi-fcgi)* (built: Aug 17 2017 11:34:58)

PhpCGIServlet is configured to use the system PHP (e.g. MAMP PHP):

    <servlet>

         <servlet-name>PhpCGIServlet</servlet-name>


<servlet-class>php.java.servlet.fastcgi.FastCGIServlet</servlet-class>

         <load-on-startup>0</load-on-startup>

         <init-param>

            <param-name>*prefer_system_php_exec*</param-name>

            <param-value>*On*</param-value>

         </init-param>

         <init-param>

             <param-name>php_include_java</param-name>

             <param-value>Off</param-value>

         </init-param>

    </servlet>

I can run the bridge via standalone Apache or directly from PhpStorm, however,
when I try to run the PHP code using the CGI Servlet, I get the error

php.java.fastcgi.ConnectionException: Could not connect to server. Please
start it with: cd
/Users/Robert/Developer/Servers/apache-tomcat-8.5.11/webapps/phpbridge/WEB-INF/cgi/x86_64-mac

REDIRECT_STATUS=200 X_JAVABRIDGE_OVERRIDE_HOSTS=“/"
PHP_FCGI_CHILDREN="5" PHP_FCGI_MAX_REQUESTS="500" *php-cgi -b
127.0.0.1:9668 <http://127.0.0.1:9668>*

with root cause

java.net.ConnectException: Connection refused (Connection refused)
	java.net.PlainSocketImpl.socketConnect(Native Method)

Checking the running processes I see the php-cgi is running and
listening on the port 9968

MBP-Robert-2:WEB-INF Robert$ ps -ef

  501 10052 10051   0  3:04PM ??         0:00.03
/Applications/MAMP/bin/php/php7.1.8/bin/php-cgi -b 127.0.0.1:9668  . .
.

and I do not assume the reason for this error is missing CGI
interface. For me is a bit confusing why the servlet advices to run
the php-cgi from the *WEB-INF/cgi/**x86_64-mac* when configured to run
system wide php-cgi executable.

Any idea what’s wrong?
