Answer 1

When starting dev appserver via the script one can pass in --php_executable_path pointing to the location of your php executable. The reason for the error is that it was unable to find php looking in the path and such. See documentation for example.

$ google_appengine/dev_appserver.py --php_executable_path=/opt/local/bin/php-cgi54 path/to/your/app

UPDATE: On linux use sudo apt-get install php-cgi dev_appserver.py --php_executable_path=/usr/bin/php-cgi app.yaml
