PhpStorm is not starting up

I just downloaded PhpStorm 5 on my quite fresh ubuntu. During the first start I installed a couple of plug-ins. Now - after the installation of those plug-ins - PhpStorm is not starting up anymore. No splash screen is showing up. No error gets written on the terminal:

gue@ubuntu:~$ phpstorm
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 23.7-b01, mixed mode)
gue@ubuntu:~$

What shall I do with that drunken sailor? I can't find any logfiles, no configuration file/directory in my home directory.

Since I'm used to Eclipse I've no clue where to look for a trace in this IntelliJ derivate...

I have changed the VMOptions under the Help menu on MacOS and it just would not start up again. It just silently failed every time. I found the file at /Applications/PhpStorm.app/Contents/MacOS/phpstorm and ran it in the terminal, which gave me an output with the following error:

Invalid ReservedCodeCacheSize=3072M. Must be at most 2048M.

Luckily, it also gave me the path to the VMOptions file in one of the rows of the output, parseVMOptions: /Users/barnabas/Library/Application Support/JetBrains/PhpStorm2022.3/phpstorm.vmoptions in my case, so I could change it back to a valid configuration. Crisis averted.

In linux, I fixed it by deleting vmoptions file of PhpStorm and then launching it again:

mv  ~/.config/JetBrains/PhpStorm*/phpstorm64.vmoptions ~/.config/JetBrains/PhpStorm*/__phpstorm64.vmoptions

For me I had to remove all cache for the IDE located in:

~/.cache/JetBrains/

If you're on Windows deleting the following directory helped me:

C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Roaming\JetBrains\

I had this problem yesterday and my OS is windows 10. phpStorm suddenly did not work and when I click on it nothing happened. I just downloaded JDK from this link (https://www.oracle.com/java/technologies/javase-downloads.html) and after installation, I set the environment value in the system setting for my java directory. You can use this link to set the environment (https://javatutorial.net/set-java-home-windows-10)

I am using PhpStorm2020.2.1. I referred to Configuration directory. I accessed the folder %AppData%\JetBrains\PhpStorm2020.2, renamed it just in case I may need some files in future.

Voila! I can start my PhpStorm2020.2.1 again!

Here is how you fix this: Rename C:\Users\USERNAME.PhpStorm2016.3 to something else (anything, like PhpStorm2016.whatever) , it will start the program if you click on the phpStorm icon, then choose to import settings, and you're good to go ;)

It might be possible if openjdk is installed then phpstorm not opened.

So remove first then follow steps that given in below link. I solve the problem same way.

Some plug-ins can cause problems and prevent IDE from starting, if it happens, you should delete the directory containing plug-in manually. Location of this directory depends on the system and product, details are available in the FAQ.

For PhpStorm on Linux it would be ~/.WebIde50/config/plugins.
