If deployment was once available, but it suddenly stops working (for example after an update). Go to Settings -> Build, Execution, Deployment -> Deployment.

For me, everything was still there and seemingly configured. So, I clicked on the OK option(even though I had changed nothing) and the deployment option became available again. enter image description here

I also encountered this issue in PyCharm Professional 2022.1. Since the aforementioned solutions did not work for me, and it took me some time to resolve, I am providing the solution I found.

Clicking on Tools -> Deployment -> upload to servername was not working for me no matter what I tried.

However, I could right-click on the main project folder (on the left of the PyCharm window, where the project folder/file structure is visible). This right-click opens a menu, where there is an option for deployment -> upload to servername. Once I clicked this, not only it worked, but the classical way (Tools -> Deployment -> upload to ) ceased to be grayed out also.

It's possible the opened file in the editor belongs to a External Library (bottom of project tree). These External library files can't be deployed.

Please check if the following options are enabled in settings(Ctrl+Alt+S). It goes uncheck if Php Storm crashes. Check the below options and restart the editor.

Plugins list

This works for ver 2017.2.1 Also, check Windows->Store current layout as the default just to make sure in the future you can restore the layout.

If any of these answers don't help, because you can't even see the server menu, you probably have the Remote Hosts Access plugin disabled.

Go to settings, go to the plugins, and enable Remote Hosts Access.

If deployment was available and suddenly no longer works, confirm that your credentials didn't get wiped from the deployment settings (Connection tab).

Also, if the Deployment menu is completely missing at the bottom of the context menu, then set up a default server.

Click the server with the check mark to make a server the default option for a project.

enter image description here

Then you will get this additional menu when you right click on a file, folder, or the project.

Also, if your local path (inside mappings configuration) is not your project root, you have to click on the deployable folder in the project tree to enable the menu.

You need to specify a deployment path mapping in your server. Even if it's just the root path, you need to enter /. PhpStorm doesn't do it automatically.

Go to your server in deployment settings, click the 'Mappings' tab and enter slash (or your mapping) in the 'Deployment path on server' field. You don't need to enter a web path. Deployment menu should be ungreyed now.
