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...

Solution

  • 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.
