I have a lot of similar projects created in PHPStorm and I need the same Run/Debug configuration in all my projects. Right now the Run/Debug configuration is empty when I create a new project.
I have tried exporting and importing settings from the file menu but that does not copy the Run/Debug configuration of project A into project B.
Can someone please tell me how to copy the Run/Debug configuration of one project into another?

Save a temporary configuration as permanent Select a temporary configuration in the run/debug configuration switcher and then click Save Configuration. Once you save a temporary configuration, it becomes permanent and it is recorded in a separate XML file in the <project directory>/. idea/ directory.
How to import the xml in a new project? Open Left Project Pane -> Copy . run folder -> open another project without closing intellij -> Paste on main project level. Your previously saved run config appears here.
From the main menu, select Run | Edit Configurations. Alternatively, press Alt+Shift+F10 , then 0 . on the toolbar or press Alt+Insert . The list shows the run/debug configuration templates.
By default, it is disabled, and IntelliJ IDEA stores run configuration settings in . idea/workspace. xml.
Run/Debug Configurations are project-specific and therefore cannot be exported/imported via File | Export/Import Settings... which is for IDE-wide settings only.
By default, all Run/Debug configurations are stored in YourProject/.idea/workspace.xml file together with other developer-specific settings.
In order to be able to share (better say -- copy) between the projects:
Make sure that each of such Run/Debug configurations has "Shared" box ticked.
Such shared run configurations will be stored in separate *.xml files in YourProject/.idea/runConfigurations/ folder which you can include in VCS if necessary.
You can copy these files from one project to another (while project is closed in IDE, of course).
