Laravel Symfony/console , installation failed because of "Invalid argument"? - php

Sorry if it seems like a nooby thing, but I am nooby at this composer/cmd thing.
I keep getting the same error while trying to install Laravel installer.
The composer resists to install "symfony/console", it downloads it, but cannot load it. Any ideas why?
Just today it was working fine, few hours in I tried to create a new project and that's what I keep getting :
**[ErrorException]
copy(D:\Laravel\cr\vendor/symfony/console/b9a023bcb5ec9a752e17f3
f5c1358bfc): failed to open stream: Invalid argument**
Since the error I've tried reinstalling composer, deleting all of its data from Appdata\Roaming\Composer folder, tried to delete vendor folder from laravel project itself and install composer through bash once again. None helped, can't find similar answer to the question either.

I had the same issue.
Windows Defender detected Trojan:Script/Foretype.A!ml on symfony/console (v5.1.7)
After i disabled the Virus Protection i was able to finish the install.

You have to disable windows defender or other anti-virus programs; also, check you have proper permissions to the folder.
how to disable windows defender:
search setting in windows
click windows security, below you will see virus and threat protection
turn off real time protection, then create project in laravel, it will run with zero errors

Composer Installation Error asking to remove from system path

composer error
I am getting error while trying to install Composer.
The error is
Remove from the System path: c:\windows\system32.
Please help me in finding the solution.
same here but, trying to uninstall/reinstall composer but after uninstallation and clicking the composer installer i had the same prob..
I got the installer FIXED after a computer restart so that the uninstall will be complete and "system variables" will be updated.
I do not know what the problem is, but I ran into the same problem. On a hunch, I tried reinstalling composer again. When asked to choose the PhP engine, I chose PhP 5.6, which I understand is still available on all wampp / xampp installations.
That seemed to do the trick. Why 5.6 is working but 7.3 is not working I have no idea. Furthermore, I feel there is a better solution to this. Unfortunately I don't know it, but at least you can get working if that is the right solution for you.
Open CMD as Administrator type: where composer
It will show where your global composer file is.
"Remove from the System path: c:\windows\system32." If this the error you will find a "composer.bat" file in that directory. Delete that file and run installation again. Hope this fix your problem. Cheers :)
i have the same problem
i resolve by
delete php.exe in c:\windows\system32

Unable to install TastyIgniter

I have downloaded TastyIgniter from GitHub and running it in localhost (Windows with WAMP and PHP version 7.1.9). In the last step of installation, I am getting errors that "Downloaded files from server are corrupted" and "Missing vendor files". May I know what is causing these errors and how I can run it without bugs in my localhost.
Run composer update command in the root of your project.
If composer is not installed. Download it from this link official website.
it seems like they hardcoded something.
when you unzip the setup-master folder, keep it as it is and don't rename or move its content.
start your installation by calling:
yoursite/setup-master/setup.php
this worked for me.
I tried to run the installation previously by unzipping the files directly in my html folder and tried several fixes but no success.
after a successful installation you need to forward in your apache config / .htaccess file to the subfolder
In order to do so, don't forget to perform the Post-Installation steps mentioned here:
https://tastyigniter.com/docs/master/installation
I finished by aborting tastyigniter. After a successful installation and theme activation, the application worked fine then "suddenly" it throws an exception that the newsletter component can't be found. All suggested helps on the dev forum didn't help. Even after reinstalling the application it comes to the same error.
Apparently you won't come over a "professional" installation support by the developer ($$$)
Thats pretty much my experience, I tried to install in different servers and environments running into several issues, especially it seems not to be made for anything other but specific development environment. Trying to secure installation with SSL already is an issue, that is very standard but poorly documented with this project. Having an example of how configuration files nginx go! Pay or have an experienced server admin do the trial and error. Integrated update mechanism, get your staging server and help to code. It is ok, just would be more honest to mention upfront, that running that app in production environment requieres some serious server administration skills and is nothing like installing and maintaining a wordpress or any other mainstream script.

unable to install composer for laravel framework

i am trying to install composer on my xampp server, but i am getting following error.
Any leads would be helpful. thank you
There will be many reasons behind this.
1.) Be sure Your xampp is working fine.
2.) You install composer without selecting php.exe file (Default it will be available in C:\xampp\php\php.exe).
If all working fine please look at this link. May be it will help you:

php artisan optimize times out only on composer install

I'm running a laravel app on Azure. Things are moving in the right direction, composer install didn't use to work at all. Now however, the "php artisan optimize" command times out:
However, running "php artisan optimize" separately is no problem at all:
What could be the cause of this?
Edit:
Deleting the symfony-folder does not help, it is not present when I run the "Composer install"-command:
Increasing the timeout-limit does not help either, I increased it in both azure and in the composer.json file:
This still gives me a timeout, after installing the symfony-components again:
...
As I deployed a new clean Laravel 5 application to Azure Web apps and tried to reproduce your issue, however, it worked fine on my side either I run the command php artisan optimize or composer install or composer update.
I installed the composer at the Site extensions at the KUDU console site of the application on Azure Web apps, the url should be like: https://<your_site_name>.scm.azurewebsites.net/SiteExtensions/#gallery
There are several solutions of other developers who occur the same issue with you, you can try these solutions:
try to increase the max_execution_time or set the value to 0, refer to https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/articles/web-sites-php-configure/#how-to-change-the-built-in-php-configurations to change the PHP build-in configurations on Azure Web Apps. And you can change the process-timeout in Composer.json file :
"config" : {
"process-timeout": 0
}
deleted the entire Symfony folder and try again. As the comments at PHP Artisan Optimize - Timed out? #1050, it seems the symfony dependencies raise the issue.
#Rkey,
According to my experience, I think the issue is more related to the symphony version/configuration. I suggest you can remove/edit the symphony configuration from the composer.lock file (NOTE: please backup this file if you cannot success, you also can recovery your environment). And then you can run this "composer install".
After installed component, You can see an alert window which shows that
your session is timeout, please refresh your browser.
You can see this information because the server is in initialization process.
Any concerns, please feel free to let me know.
I'm also having this problem. Will upgrading the plan help?
According to this upgrading to S3 helps... I haven't tried it though... Let me know if it really works.
#Rkey & #cabs, per my understanding on this question, I wanna point out that Composer is not fully supported on Azure. The issue is that it’s using Taskkill command which is blocked on Azure. We are aware of this and please feel free to submit an idea or suggestion based on the experience with Azure at https://feedback.azure.com/forums/34192--general-feedback.
I have been stuck in this problem as well for a week.
Have tried all solutions on forum but no success.
This morning finally solved after reinstall XAMPP. It was problem on my previous PHP version 5.6.19. While using new XAMPP with PHP version 5.6.28, it worked fine.

Composer/Laravel Installation: My command line no longer understands the PATHs

running mac Yosemite 10.10.5
A couple of days ago I installed Laravel for the first time. That part went pretty smooth! Once it was time to install composer I was able to find some help here! This command on bash Profile made it work for me: PATH="$PATH:~/.composer/vendor/bin"
Fast-Forward to today when I am attempting to install XAMPP and Bitnami.. The Apache server and all that. So I think I am ready to roll and as I tried to create a project I was told that I did not have the mcrypt file? So down THAT rabbit hole I went. That was a tough one but I managed to get it to work.
Now forgive me but I don't remember what happened next that led me to re-install composer and that turned out to be an other huge issue as it wouldn't allow me to do so.. I would get this message
Some settings on your machine make Composer unable to work properly.
Make sure that you fix the issues listed below and run this script again:
The detect_unicode setting must be disabled.
Add the following to the end of your `php.ini`:
detect_unicode = Off
After doing some research I was able to download Composer again by running this command..
curl -s getcomposer.org/installer | php -d detect_unicode=Off
I thought I was on my way.. 2 hours have gone by! Boy was I wrong! :(
What once used to work.. composer commands in my terminal.. all of the sudden are not recognized..
Commands like this worked before.. composer create-project laravel/laravel=5.0 TestApp
but now it returns this.. ??+?abelista /Applications/XAMPP/htdocs Question Marks along my machines name..
Nothing with composer runs.. I have tried changing my PATH in my Bash Profile too..
PATH="$PATH:$HOME/.composer/vendor/bin"
PATH="~/.composer/vendor/bin/laravel:$PATH"
and remember this one below used to work..
PATH="$PATH:~/.composer/vendor/bin"
From my understanding.. If I can recall correctly.. I think the problem began when I ran homebrew to install mcrypt.. I could be wrong. Does anyone here have the slightest idea what could be my issue?
BTW, according to my command line.. composer is installed..
All settings correct for using Composer
Downloading...
Composer successfully installed to: /Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/htdocs/composer.phar
Use it: php composer.phar
Thanks for reading and trying to help me out.
I think you've messed up with PHP installing XAMPP or other tools...
Nothing to do with composer. If you want something to work, try using Homestead, everything is setup for you in there.
In general, I would recommend you to not install stuff directly on your development machine. Try using virtual machines instead, that way you can do all the mess you want and reset everything easily.
