Description of issue

Hi.
I have installed httpd + PHP via homebrew on a new M2 Macbook. As a user with admin rights, which all works.
However, I am usually logged in as a user without admin rights and want to access the web server. But that doesn't work, the browser always replies 'no connection to server'.
I have already tried all the variations of localhost, port, etc.

Is there an option to connect the web server with a non-admin account?

btw: what do I have to do to access the rest of brew terminal functions as a non-admin ? su admin ?

thanks for answers

How do you start httpd? What port do you have it configured with? Is your admin user still logged in?

what do I have to do to access the rest of Brei's terminal functions as a non-admin ? su admin ?

Yes

If you need to run Homebrew in a multi-user environment, consider creating a separate user account specifically for use of Homebrew.

brew services start/stop/restart httpd

That starts the service for the user.

no, admin is logged out !

So the service isn't running because of that.

ok, what would be a workaround to keep the process running ?
or can I also start it as non-admin ?

[gitdev-f11]

would it be a solution to install brew in the user directory ? or better assign a usergroup to brew and the non-admin user to it ?
