I have commented out the first top section of xdebug.ini zend_extension=xdebug.so and did absolutely nothing. I also tried changing the php project version to 7.2 and I get a compatability error when accessing my project.

The temporary solution is to update your Homebrew PHP configuration.

Find the config file (it'll be named homebrew.mxcl.php.plist and it'll be in your Homebrew location, /usr/local/ or /etc/homebrew, under the folder Cellar/php/8.3.0, assuming you're on PHP 8.3.0).

Edit that file and add the following:

<key>EnvironmentVariables</key>
<dict>
    <key>OBJC_DISABLE_INITIALIZE_FORK_SAFETY</key>
    <string>YES</string>
</dict>

You'll add this directly under this line:

<key>RunAtLoad</key>
<true/>

Now run valet restart and try again.

If that doesn't fix it, let's do a little more cleanup.

• Run brew services stop php to make sure you're not running PHP as your individual user (it should run as root)
• Delete any homebrew.mxcl.php.plist files that are in ~/Library/LaunchAgents (this is the list of launch agents for your individual user)
• Delete the php83 sock file (~/.config/valet/valet83.sock) and then valet install again
