I got a website running with laravel framework, this website will need to migrate to public cloud VM. However, I'm not quite familiar with laravel, any suggestion and advice would be appreciated.
I already created a remote VM, and installed Nginx.
Also, I move the root folder from on-prem /var/wwwroot to the cloud /var/wwwroot as well. Moreover, the Mysql database had been imported to the cloud Mysql too (using the dumped .sql file ).
laravel need PHP to run, should I install php5.6 or php5.6-fpm (or both)?
I need to install laravel framework, do I have to install the specific version of lavavel (5.1.46)?
After I install the laravel, do I need to conduct any laravel command such as
~#php artisan migrate ? or just put the wwwroot folder's file should be enough?
Here is more info about the on-prem VM:
~#php --version
PHP 5.6.32-1+ubuntu16.04.1+deb.sury.org+1 (cli)
~#nginx -v
nginx version: nginx/1.13.6
~# lsb_release -a
No LSB modules are available.
Distributor ID: Ubuntu
Description: Ubuntu 16.04.3 LTS
Release: 16.04
Codename: xenial
~# php artisan --version
Laravel Framework version 5.1.46 (LTS)
~# mysqld --version
mysqld Ver 5.7.20-0ubuntu0.16.04.1 for Linux on x86_64 ((Ubuntu))

You want to use NGINX as webserver, so you need to install both packages.
If you install your code from git, you should install dependencies by running command:
php composer install
You should create your .env-file and edit it: set up db connection params and other settings:
cp .env.example .env
Also you should generate app key:
php artisan key:generate
If you copied last version of your db, you don't need to run up migrations, but I recommend you to run new migrations, to be confident that db structure wasn't changed since you make dump.
php artisan migrate

since the latest php fpm docker image update yesterday (https://hub.docker.com/_/php?tab=tags&page=1&name=fpm-alpine) my pipeline is broken because apparently PHP version 8 is installed instead of 7.4 as in my Dockerfile specified.
I am using this in my docker file:
FROM php:7.4-fpm-alpine AS ...
But according to my composer installs the container has PHP 8.0.13 running:
Root composer.json requires php 7.4.26 but your php version (8.0.13) does not satisfy that requirement.
Anyone an idea what is going on here?
As Jeremy Brooks already mentioned, Alpine released version 3.15 where composer requires PHP 8 (https://pkgs.alpinelinux.org/package/v3.15/community/x86_64/composer). Instead of installing composer from getcomposer.org another solution is to use Alpine 3.14:
FROM php:7.4-fpm-alpine3.14 AS ...
The alpine PHP images you reference do not include composer, so how are you installing it? If you are using apk to installer composer, it looks like the latest alpine composer package is pulling php8 in as a dependency, and this is causing your issue. What solved this issue for me was to install composer using the install script from getcomposer.org instead of using apk.
Assuming this is what you are doing, remove this from your Dockerfile:
RUN apk add composer
and add:
ADD https://getcomposer.org/installer ./composer-setup.php
RUN php ./composer-setup.php --install-dir=/usr/local/bin --filename=composer
RUN rm ./composer-setup.php
If composer is indeed included in your base image (unlikely), you could try uninstalling first:
RUN apk delete composer
and then add the above code to install it from the setup script instead.
Edit: adding the ignore-platform-reqs flag will probably get you past the error, but you are introducing a possible point of failure in the future if you have a composer package with a platform requirement. In that case, you won't know about the error until runtime. I would not recommend that approach. The method I posted above will install composer using the version of PHP already on the system and will not require risky workarounds.
I'm currently working on my docker-compose file to install laravel 8 with php 8.
I tested "php:7.4-fpm-alpine", and when I access the container I'm getting this version of php :
/var/www/html # php --version
PHP 7.4.26 (cli) (built: Nov 30 2021 08:21:51) ( NTS )
You can test it yourself :
docker container ls
docker exec -it <container_id> sh
php --version
I'm getting PHP 8.0.13 when installing "php:8.0-fpm-alpine"
Also I'm creating my laravel project using the composer image, I don't have php/composer installed locally. It's something you might have a look, because it could be quickly confusing ;-)
I had the same problem today...
Try:
composer install --no-scripts --ignore-platform-reqs
Fixed it for me.

I'm using Homestead for Laravel Development Environment.
I installed globally Homestead, everything is ok.
However, when want install Homestead per Laravel project, I have a question:
Will I have to install PHP, Composer in Local machine to can run this command ?
composer require laravel/homestead --dev
So I still have to install environment (PHP, Composer, ...) on Local machine when want install Homestead per Laravel project ?
You ssh into your homestead box by cd'ing into your project folder and after successfully running vagrant up you run vagrant ssh and inside your box you can run all your commands.
I have Windows 10, Xampp installed with PHP Version 5.x and I want to install OctoberCMS with Installation wizard https://octobercms.com/docs/setup/installation but I noticed that OctoberCMS requires PHP 7.0 or higher to achieve this and I have version 5.x.
So How can I install OctoberCMS with PHP Version 5.x ?
OK Guys, Eventually I have come up with the solution to install OctoberCMS with PHP Version 5.x.
Remember, these steps can be varied based on your operating system and the things which you have installed in your system.
First go to OctoberCMS Change log -
https://octobercms.com/changelog and find Build 419 has the php
version 5.x support.
Then go to OctoberCMS release list - https://github.com/octobercms/october/releases and click on the version you need to install which is v1.0.419. Install the zip to the root of xampp/htdocs and extract the folder.
Then inside the same folder which extracted, run this composer install.
After this, run php artisan october:env .. You can run C:\xampp\php\php.exe artisan october:env if you are having an error php is not recognized as an internal or external command.
After php artisan october:env, .env file is created. There you need to modify your database settings like database name, port (put 3306 for localhost etc) by opening this file which will be in same folder.
Then run php artisan october:up or C:\xampp\php\php.exe artisan october:up. It will create database tables and your admin user will be created with User: admin, Password: admin (You can change this after logging IN). And backend url will be something like http://example.com/backend.
Once its done, you can cut paste all your extracted folder files to root .. like from C:\xampp\htdocs\youproject\version419 to C:\xampp\htdocs\youproject\.
Hope this helps.
Here at the office we are using Homestead as our local development environment. All projects we had so far were made in PHP5.6. Now we have a new project and we are going to use PHP7. I can't run PHP7 in my current PHP5.6 homestead machine. How can I achieve to run PHP5.6 and PHP7 projects? They do not have to run at the same time, so I if it's possible to change the Homestead.yaml to use a newer version, that would be fine.
What I have tried already was to run vagrant box add laravel/homestead --box-version 1.0.1. This added the 1.0.1 box but when I added version: 1.0.1 to my Homestead.yaml and started vagrant the PHP version was still on 5.6.
In case people find this post - the answer has changed.
If you run Homestead v6 or above - you automatically get multiple PHP versions installed by default.
In your Homestead.yaml file you can set the version:
sites:
- map: homestead.app
to: /home/vagrant/Code/Laravel/public
php: "5.6"
In addition, you may use any of the supported PHP versions via the CLI:
php5.6 artisan list
php7.0 artisan list
php7.1 artisan list
Check the Laravel docs for more info: https://laravel.com/docs/5.4/homestead#multiple-php-versions
The latest Laravel-Version with Homestead including PHP 5.6 is Laravel 5.6. See https://laravel.com/docs/5.6/homestead for details and installation instructions.
Use the following commands during installation to get this Homestead-Vagrant-Box:
vagrant box add laravel/homestead --box-version 6.4.0
git clone https://github.com/laravel/homestead.git .
git checkout v7.20.0
This Homestead-Version supports PHP 5.6 to 7.3.
(More details in german: https://blog.dmr-solutions.com/blog/homestead-vagrant-box-mit-php-56)
Found a solution! I followed this tutorial. I can run a PHP 5.6 and a PHP 7 Homestead. The only thing I had to do (I already have a PHP 5.6 homestead configured) was:
Clone the latest homestead version in a Homestead-7 folder (or a different name) by running git clone https://github.com/laravel/homestead.git ~/Homestead-7
Go into this directory and run bash init.sh and answer no to all questions.
That's it! You might have to upgrade your vagrant (mine was too old) but that's easy to do by just downloading the latest version on https://www.vagrantup.com/downloads.html (Do not forget to run vagrant provision in Homestead-7)
I like to add to Laurence answer.
After adding php5.6 to Homestead.yml, you cannot simply do "vagrant up --provision". It will not work. You have to actually destroy the vm by running command "vagrant destroy" and recreate back the vm.
So before destroying the vm, better to backup every database you have in there. I do this by dumping all the sql in Code folder. Later after I run the command "vagrant up" I can simply ssh to my vm and go to mysql and run "source dump.sql" in mysql command line again.
I m a newbie and learning Laravel. I m having a trouble with install php and homestead.
As I read in Laravel Official Website:
Laravel Homestead is an official, pre-packaged Vagrant box that provides you a wonderful development environment without requiring you to install PHP, a web server, and any other server software on your local machine.
So I think I do not need to install php in my local machine ??? But when I install composer, it requires PHP.exe and I cannot browse that PATH. I misunderstand here. I have been stuck in this problem and research many websites for whole day, so I think better to ask (even if it is stupid question). Could anyone explain for me please...
---EDIT_NEW---
This is my completed steps to use Laravel:
Install git
Install virturalbox
Install vagrant
vagrant box add laravel/homestead
git clone https://github.com/laravel/homestead.git Homestead
cd Homestead, bash init.sh
Configure Homestead
add to Hosts file
Now I have to install laravel, it requires composer. Composer installation requires php.exe PATH. But if I dont use XAMPP or others local development environment, how can I install Composer ?
(Note: Maybe I misunderstand here "without requiring you to install PHP, a web server, and any other server software on your local machine").
Are you executing composer "inside" Homested vagrant VM or in windows "cmd"? In the first case it's strange in the second of course it doesn't work. You need to acces the Homestead VM via SSH
Thanks for help, with your answers and Laracast Video: https://laracasts.com/lessons/say-hello-to-laravel-homestead-two. Now I got the answer.
You need to follow some steps to running Laravel in your system (windows 10).
1) Install XAMPP or WAMPP, you can download XAMPP from Here.
2) Install composer, find it from Here.
3) Install GIT (optional).
Than go for create New Laravel App.
1) Open Terminal -> goto C:/xampp/htdocs/
2) composer create-project laravel/laravel <App_Name>
3) php artisan serve
