I have a laravel project on namecheap shared server, I have set up everything and it is working there. But after that, I have added locally on my machine to the project imagecache intervention package with composer. I don't know how to install it on the server though, I have tried with running composer commands through ssh:
php composer require intervention/imagecache
But I got an error:
Could not open input file: composer
Since, their support told me that they actually have composer uploaded in the folder public_html and not where my project is and that is public_html/myProject if that is the problem. Since I have no idea, how the composer is installed and setup there, I wonder how can I install this package. I have also tried by just uploading the whole directory of the package from my local vendor folder in the project to the production server, but that didn't work either, images were still not visible when I was using imagecache route. How can I fix that?
Run this: php -c php.ini composer.phar install
First You have to create php.ini file with this info.
max_execution_time = 300
max_input_time = 300
memory_limit = 512M
suhosin.executor.include.whitelist = phar
detect_unicode = Off
If you have ssh then you can create a folder where ever you wan't.
It is better if you put it in the same level that your public folder and then install composer inside this folder:
with curl
curl -sS https://getcomposer.org/installer | php
if you don't have curl or the server has restrictions you can use:
php -r "readfile('https://getcomposer.org/installer');" | php
or you can "Manual Download" the composer.phar and upload it trough ftp
https://getcomposer.org/download/
Then you need to give execution rights to the composer.phar file and you
chmod a+x composer.phar
can also create an alias to run composer from your public folder
alias composer="path/to/composer/composer.phar"
This alias will work until you close your console. In some shared servers you will see a file call: .bashrc where you can put the alias

I am running windows 10 with the ubuntu subsystem installed as my localhost. I have composer installed on that and when I try to install the yii2 basic application it goes through the process correctly but when i open the yii2 basic application in my browser I get:
Failed to change permissions for directory "/mnt/c/Users/andre/zype/staff-tools/web/assets/89851207": chmod(): Operation not permitted
If I then change permissions on the yii2 installation file structure with
sudo chown -R www-data:www-data .
the application loads but the web/assets folders are missing so my application has no styling. I am unsure if this is a composer issue or a yii2 issue but it looks like permissions to me.
Try changing the permission of 'assets' folder most likely to 777 (all users can access this file)
your-project/web/assets
Well this solution works for Linux users. Will require to check for windows
Follow Steps
Step 1- Install Composer (I installed it through bash)
Step 2- Now in cmd use following command
composer create-project --prefer-dist yiisoft/yii2-app-basic yii2-basic-check
Output (Last Lines)-
chmod('runtime', 0777)...done.
chmod('web/assets', 0777)...done.
chmod('yii', 0755)...done.
Step 3 - Open "http://localhost/yii2-basic-check/web/" URL in browser.
It worked fine for me
Important: Windows Subsystem for Linux has many serious problems with file permission. So, I advise not to install Linux programs and it's files in Windows drives i.e. DRVFS (/mnt/c). Also as PHP frameworks need many files, it will be better if you install distributions in another internal NTFS drives other that C:\ drive.
Steps: Place/clone the required project files/repositories in current user's home folder e.g. /root, /home, /home/user. Do not place the files in C:\ drive aka. /mnt/c otherwise WSL will not follow their permissions correctly. Here is an example of the installation procedure from YiiFramework: The Definitive Guide to Yii 2.0.
Install required packages: sudo apt-get install php php-cli php-common php-mbstring php-xml php-zip zip unzip
Go to user folder: cd ~
Download composer: curl -sS https://getcomposer.org/installer | php
Install yii2-basic: ~/composer.phar create-project --prefer-dist yiisoft/yii2-app-basic basic
Go to project folder: cd ~/basic
Run PHP server: php yii serve
Open server in browser at localhost:8080 (default port 8080).
I started looking into using composer for my php project. i have MAMP Pro and would like to continue to use that for my development hosting. The problem is that I can't get composer to run anywhere accept in my /Users/***/ folder (where it runs really well). How would I get it to run in the root of my MAMP Server? I have messed with the .bash_profile file adding the following lines:
alias composer='php composer.phar'
export PATH=/Applications/MAMP/bin/php/php7.0.10/bin:$PATH
That does not work (and neither does the alias). The vendor file still shows up in the /Users/***/ folder.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
You can do a global installation:
Since Composer works with the current working directory it is possible to install it in a system wide way.
1.Change into a directory in your path like cd /usr/local/bin
2.Get Composer curl -sS https://getcomposer.org/installer | php
3.Make the phar executable chmod a+x composer.phar
4.Change into a project directory cd /path/to/my/project
5.Use Composer as you normally would composer.phar install
Update: Sometimes you can't or don't want to download at /usr/local/bin (some have experienced user permissions issues or restricted access), in this case you can try this
Open terminal
curl -sS http://getcomposer.org/installer | php -- --filename=composer
chmod a+x composer
sudo mv composer /usr/local/bin/composer
Ok after looking at it a little bit more here's what I figured out using #Lokesh Gamot's answer and the composer site. Again, this is geared to use with MAMP.
Find the path of your development server. I would suggest putting var_dump(getcwd()); at the top of your index.php file to get the path to show up on your index page. For me, it was /Applications/MAMP/htdocs/.../web-root
Because I wanted composer in my server root, I inputted cd "/Applications/MAMP/htdocs/" into the terminal.
I then downloaded the file using curl -sS https://getcomposer.org/installer | php -- --filename=composer. This installs Composer into "/Applications/MAMP/htdocs/" as a file named composer.
When I begin a new project, I have to move the composer file into the project root using mv composer "/Applications/MAMP/htdocs/*Destination Root*" and then navigate the terminal to that same root by using: cd "/Applications/MAMP/htdocs/*Destination Root*". What I was missing was needing to move the composer file around to each root when I needed it.
After that, I can use composer using php composer. Again, thanks!
I have these things:
the file http://api.odtu.lu/composer.phar
http://api.odtu.lu/phpinfo.php
ftp access
cPanel
Cron jobs on FreeBSD
PHP, Perl, CGI-BIN, Python, Curl.
How can I install Composer? (My aim is to install Restler)
Edit: I do not have SSH access.
This tutorial worked for me, resolving my issues with /usr/local/bin permission issues and php-cli (which composer requires, and may aliased differently on shared hosting).
First run these commands to download and install composer:
cd ~
mkdir bin
mkdir bin/composer
curl -sS https://getcomposer.org/installer | php
mv composer.phar bin/composer
Determine the location of your php-cli (needed later on):
which php-cli
(If the above fails, use which php)
It should return the path, such as /usr/bin/php-cli, /usr/php/54/usr/bin/php-cli, etc.
edit ~/.bashrc and make sure this line is at the top, adding it if it is not:
[ -z "$PS1" ] && return
and then add this alias to the bottom (using the php-cli path that you determined earlier):
alias composer="/usr/bin/php-cli ~/bin/composer/composer.phar"
Finish with these commands:
source ~/.bashrc
composer --version
It depends on the host, but you probably simply can't (you can't on my shared host on Rackspace Cloud Sites - I asked them).
What you can do is set up an environment on your dev machine that roughly matches your shared host, and do all of your management through the command line locally. Then when everything is set (you've pulled in all the dependencies, updated, managed with git, etc.) you can "push" that to your shared host over (s)FTP.
I have successfully installed Composer (and Laravel) on my shared hosting with only FTP access:
Download and install PHPShell on a shared hosting
In PHPShell's config.php add a user and an alias:
php = "php -d suhosin.executor.include.whitelist=phar"
Log in to PHPShell and type: curl -sS https://getcomposer.org/installer | php
When successfully installed, run Composer: php composer.phar
You can do it that way:
Create a directory where you want to install composer (let's say /home/your_username/composer)
Go to this directory - cd /home/your_username/composer
Then run the following command:
php -r "readfile('https://getcomposer.org/installer');" | php
After that if you want to run composer, you can do it this way (in this caseyou must be in the composer's dir): php composer.phar
As a next step, you can do this:
alias composer="/home/your_username/composer/composer.phar".
And run commands like you do it normally: $ composer install
Hope that helps
I was able to install composer on HostGator's shared hosting. Logged in to SSH with Putty, right after login you should be in your home directory, which is usually /home/username, where username is your username obviously. Then ran the curl command posted by #niutech above. This downloaded the composer to my home directory and it's now accessible and working well.
SIMPLE SOLUTION (tested on Red Hat):
run command: curl -sS https://getcomposer.org/installer | php
to use it: php composer.phar
SYSTEM WIDE SOLLUTION (tested on Red Hat):
run command: mv composer.phar /usr/local/bin/composer
to use it: composer update
now you can call composer from any directory.
Source: http://www.agix.com.au/install-composer-on-centosredhat/
Most of the time you can't - depending on the host. You can contact the support team where your hosting is subscribed to, and if they confirmed that it is really not allowed, you can just set up the composer on your dev machine, and commit and push all dependencies to your live server using Git or whatever you prefer.
i have some problems installing Laravel 4.1 in Windows 7 via the first method explained in the Laravel documentation ( http://laravel.com/docs/installation#install-laravel ).
So I downloaded the laravel.phar file and put it in my path ( System32 ). Which would be the equivalent of /usr/bin in linux based systems?
( I also added .PHAR in the PATHEXT system variable ).
When i ran the laravel command from the command line it didn't know how to open it, so i chose to open it with php.exe. Now, when I run the composer command it says: "Could not open input file: C:\Windows\system32\laravel.phar".
I suppose it's less a problem with laravel itself but my limited knowledge of the Windows command line. The installation via composer works fine.
Any help is appreciated.
To rephrase and clarify this question: How do I make a .phar file globally available to the Windows command line?
Phar allows you to put an entire PHP application into a PHP Archive. It is not a direct executable as you may assume.
To install Laravel 4.1 successfully on Windows 7, you need Composer -a package manager.
First install Composer. This will install globally on your system. Composer can now be called through your command prompt via 'composer'.
Next, go to where your WAMP or XAMP project folder is -generally, this would be your www folder (i.e. C:\wamp\www).
Make a new project directory: www\new_project. Now go to your start menu and run cmd as admin. Next you need to change your directory to the C drive and then into your www\new_project folder:
C:\> cd wamp\www\new_project
Now you can take advantage of composer by calling:
composer create-project laravel/laravel --prefer-dist
Call the above statement in that new_project folder because that is where laravel will install. The above will make your directory path as:
C:\wamp\www\new_project\laravel\
Laravel is now available on your system. You can verify a successful install by going to:
http://localhost/new_project/laravel/public/
Based on the above question edit regarding making a .phar globally available for command:
The directory your looking for is
C:\bin --the equivalent folder to /usr/bin on Linux.
Copy the laravel.phar file in the C:\bin folder. Or , you can put it in a folder, such as, C:\php\laravel.phar. Then you need to make a batch file somewhere within the PATH called laravel.bat which will then do the following:
#ECHO OFF
php "%~dp0laravel.phar" %*
The "%*" repeats all of the arguments passed to the shell script.
Thus, you can run 'laravel new project'. Hope this points you in the right direction.
The documentation on the Laravel website is not a good way to install laravel on windows. You'll got problem with the routing later.
Accessing laravel URL like this is a no-no:
http://localhost/new_project/laravel/public/
to get a better URL you must setup Apache Virtual Host and edit hosts file.
The best way to install Laravel on windows is to use Git and Composer. if you already successfully install Git and Composer, open Git bash and using ls and cd terminal command go to c:\xampp\htdocs folder
and run this command (it will ask you for your Git passphrase, make sure you install your Git properly - tutorial here - http://www.thegeekstuff.com/2012/02/git-for-windows/):
git clone git#github.com:laravel/laravel.git laraveldev
It will download laravel into a folder name laraveldev in htdocs:
c:\xampp\htdocs\laraveldev
Use the Git bash terminal to install laravel into PHP using this command:
composer install
edit hosts file - located in c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc, add this:
127.0.0.1 www.laravel.dev
and put virtual hosts entry in c:\xampp\apache\conf\extra\httpd-vhosts.conf.
<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot "C:/xampp/htdocs/laraveldev/public"
ServerName www.laravel.dev
ServerAlias www.laravel.dev
ErrorLog "logs/laravel.log"
CustomLog "logs/custom.laravel.log" combined
<Directory "C:/xampp/htdocs/laraveldev/public">
AllowOverride All
Order Allow,Deny
Allow from all
Require all granted
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
Restart you xampp apache. Then you can access laravel app in your browser like this:
http://www.laravel.dev
I'm totally 100% sure you'll got those "You have arrived" text :D
installing laravel is easy way with composer, if you cant use composer, than you can go with laravel.phar file. This method is also easiest way to install laravel on your local machine.
I think it will be useful to install using laravel.phar file.

PHP API using: https://github.com/sandeepshetty/shopify_api
I have PHP 5.3.27 installed
I installed Composer (by going to
the website and using their install.exe)
It mentions that
"This will download shopify_api into the
vendor/sandeepshetty/shopify_api directory."
But I do not see the folders or files anywhere on the computer.
The plugin author is saying that if you download Composer with the instructions he provided (via Terminal), then Composer will autoload those files for you. Unfortunately, though easier, simply going to the source URL for the Composer tool won't do that for you.
First, make sure you have created the composer.json file and stored it in your project directory. Then, log into your server or system via the command line (Terminal for Mac OS, Putty for Windows). Cd into your project directory, and install by entering these commands:
$ curl -s http://getcomposer.org/installer | php
$ php composer.phar install
