> I’m trying to run the sample php project from here [https://github.com/appium/sample-code](https://github.com/appium/sample-code) I have downloaded the appium app and can start and install the TestApp normally on my simulator. But when i run vendor/bin/phpunit SimpleTest.php i get this in my console: The Selenium Server is not active on host localhost at port 4723. I entered the url “[http://127.0.0.1:4723/wd/hub/status](http://127.0.0.1:4723/wd/hub/status)” as well as “[http://localhost:4723/wd/hub/status](http://localhost:4723/wd/hub/status)” directly in browser and get json result normally. Can anyone …

You can even try to talk to that user. Îf you are not bind to use PHP, I would recommend Java or ruby because their clients are kept more up to date
