PHP - Composer Install Issues

drkgreyhawk · 2016-02-08 14:01:11 UTC

I’ve been trying to install Laravel 4. I’ve followed instructions on proper installation up to installing Composer.

Using the command (I am using the proper install directory):

returns:

"[b]Some settings on your machine make Composer unable to work properly.
Make sure that you fix the issues listed below and run this script again:

The phar extension is missing.
Install it or recompile php without --disable-phar[/b]"

I have enabled phar.so in my phprc file for the proper version of php. Using phpinfo() and $ php -i | grep phar will both return with ‘–enable-phar=shared’.

I’ve looked everywhere for help on this and I have yet to find anything that can resolve this issue. Am I missing something?

My php Configure Command:

‘./configure’ ‘–prefix=/usr/local/php56’ ‘–datadir=/usr/local/php56/share’ ‘–localstatedir=/usr/local/php56/var’ ‘–without-pear’ ‘–with-config-file-path=/etc/php56’ ‘–with-config-file-scan-dir=/etc/php56/conf.d’ ‘–with-zend-vm=GOTO’ ‘–enable-cgi’ ‘–enable-fpm’ ‘–enable-libxml=shared’ ‘–enable-bcmath=shared’ ‘–enable-calendar=shared’ ‘–enable-ctype=shared’ ‘–enable-dom=shared’ ‘–enable-exif=shared’ ‘–enable-fileinfo=shared’ ‘–enable-filter=shared’ ‘–enable-ftp=shared’ ‘–enable-hash=shared’ ‘–enable-intl=shared’ ‘–enable-json=shared’ ‘–enable-mbstring’ ‘–enable-mbregex’ ‘–enable-mbregex-backtrack’ ‘–enable-opcache’ ‘–enable-pcntl=shared’ ‘–enable-pdo’ ‘–enable-phar=shared’ ‘–enable-posix=shared’ ‘–enable-session=shared’ ‘–enable-shmop=shared’ ‘–enable-simplexml=shared’ ‘–enable-soap=shared’ ‘–enable-sockets=shared’ ‘–enable-sysvmsg=shared’ ‘–enable-sysvsem=shared’ ‘–enable-sysvshm=shared’ ‘–enable-tokenizer=shared’ ‘–enable-wddx=shared’ ‘–enable-xml=shared’ ‘–enable-xmlreader=shared’ ‘–enable-xmlwriter=shared’ ‘–enable-zip=shared’ ‘–with-openssl=shared’ ‘–with-kerberos’ ‘–with-pcre-regex’ ‘–with-sqlite3’ ‘–with-zlib=shared’ ‘–with-bz2=shared’ ‘–with-curl=shared’ ‘–with-gd=shared’ ‘–with-jpeg-dir=/usr’ ‘–with-png-dir=/usr’ ‘–with-zlib-dir=/usr’ ‘–with-xpm-dir=/usr’ ‘–with-freetype-dir=/usr’ ‘–with-gettext=shared’ ‘–with-gmp=shared’ ‘–with-mhash=shared’ ‘–with-iconv=shared’ ‘–with-imap=shared’ ‘–with-imap-ssl’ ‘–with-mcrypt=shared’ ‘–with-msql=shared’ ‘–with-mysql=shared,mysqlnd’ ‘–with-mysql-sock=/No-MySQL-hostname-was-specified’ ‘–with-mysqli=shared,mysqlnd’ ‘–with-pdo-mysql=shared,mysqlnd’ ‘–with-pdo-pgsql=shared’ ‘–with-pdo-sqlite’ ‘–with-pgsql=shared’ ‘–with-pspell=shared’ ‘–with-readline=shared’ ‘–with-tidy=shared’ ‘–with-xmlrpc=shared’ ‘–with-xsl=shared’ ‘CFLAGS=-g ‘-O2’ ‘-fstack-protector’ ‘–param=ssp-buffer-size=4’ ‘-Wformat’ ‘-Wformat-security’’ ‘LDFLAGS=-Wl,-Bsymbolic-functions ‘-Wl,-z,relro’’ ‘CPPFLAGS=-D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2’ ‘CXXFLAGS=-g ‘-O2’ ‘-fstack-protector’ ‘–param=ssp-buffer-size=4’ ‘-Wformat’ ‘-Wformat-security’’

Did you include BOTH of these lines?

extension = phar.so suhosin.executor.include.whitelist = phar

Then to verify that Phar is installed run

I tried these commands on a site that is using php 5.5 and it worked great.

You don’t need the “suhosin.executor.include.whitelist” line, by the way. We stopped using Suhosin quite some time ago.

drkgreyhawk · 2016-02-08 19:35:32 UTC

I have tried the suhosin line. It did not make a difference regardless if suhosin is still being used.

I went in to copy my 5.6/phprc file a few hours after posting to update my post with more information and found that it was empty. I did not do this… well it now reads:

; {{{ The following lines were automatically added by DreamHost zend_extension=opcache.so ; }}} That's all from DreamHost extension = phar.so

php -m is not listing phar at all and php -i | grep phar is returning the same thing as I posted before.

Did you change the default version of PHP CLI in the shell to be version 5.6?

drkgreyhawk · 2016-02-09 00:06:45 UTC

That was it! Thank you. I should have checked the version shell was using after upgrading to 5.6.
