When working in WSL, https does not work on localhost since the Windows host system does not accept Caddy's self signed certificate. You can copy the certificate or just use a plain http port:
frankenphp php-server --listen :8144
and then go to http://localhost:8144
When using WSL, I'd generally also recommend setting up a development environment with docker/docker-compose (makes stuff more reproducible once your app gets more complex)
execute on wsl 2
$ sudo frankenphp php-server --listen :8144

any solution for this ?
thanks and best regards
What do you see in the network tab of your browser? Where does it redirect to?
A 404 response means that the server works 🎉. When using php-server, you have to run the command in your public directory (where the index.php is)
test with docker in wsl (debian os) is not work
sudo apt update
sudo apt install -y curl docker.io
cd
mkdir -p ~/frankenphp
sudo docker run -v ~/frankenphp:/app/public -p 80:80 -p 443:443 -p 443:443/udp dunglas/frankenphp

A 404 means the server responded that it could not find what you were requesting. Make sure you aren't running another service on your machine listening to the same port(s), or that you have files to serve.
wsl only work with docker
sudo apt update
sudo apt install -y curl docker.io
cd
mkdir -p ~/frankenphp
echo "<?php phpinfo(); ?>" > ~/frankenphp/phpinfo.php
sudo docker run -v ~/frankenphp:/app/public -p 80:80 -p 443:443 -p 443:443/udp dunglas/frankenphp
sudo docker images
sudo docker ps -a
on browser access
http://localhost/phpinfo.php
while with terminal execute is not work (still problem like on first posted)
sudo apt update
sudo apt install -y curl unzip mariadb-server
curl https://frankenphp.dev/install.sh | sh
