I've been trying to install Composer for about a month now on a Windows 10 computer. Every time I run the Windows OS installer, it gives me this error:
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 openssl extension is missing, which means that secure HTTPS transfers are impossible.
If possible you should enable it or recompile php with --with-openssl
I've checked in my php.ini file (C:\Bitnami\wampstack-5.4.39-0\php\php.ini) and it is not commented out. I've checked for the DLL itself in the ETC folder, it's there. I've restarted my Apache Web Server several times. Heck, I've reinstalled PHP and my WAMP Servers. Nothing is working. I've tried downloading a fresh Composer installer thinking maybe my original one got corrupted some how. Still doesn't work. Am I missing something here?
After about another week of research and talking with a University professor about it, I ultimately found that the issue stemmed from my Bitnami installation path. Installing the wampstack as it defaulted by the installer (wampstack-version#) seems to cause problems in composers ability to install. Make sure to install it without the version on the end of the wampstack path.

I'm at a loss.
I tried every single instruction on the internet, I can't seem to install and run memcached on my xampp server.
I'm using a mac. I installed memcached via brew and updated the php.ini file with extension=memcached.so
When I check with phpinfo(); I see that there is no memcached installed.
Could someone please instruct me from the very beginning the steps I needed to take in order to run this on my local with xampp? Or hint me what I'm missing?
Many thanks!
today i decided to start working with larvel so i started installing composer
and when i tried to composer it gave me a error of
php.exe-System Error
the program can't start because php5.dll is missing from your
computer.Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem
So i looked up in some sites and blogs and some pointed out that by renaming or removing php.ini will solve the problem .so i gave that a try (Renamed it php_old.ini) and the error was cleared...but during installation there was a new error that appeared called
Composer Download Error
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 openssl extension is missing, which means that secure HTTPS transfers are impossible.
If possible you should enable it or recompile php with --with-openssl
So seeing it i changed back my php.ini file to its original filename and dont know what to do next
im currently using Xampp and there was alot of posts regarding wamp composer installation which didn't help
So Could someone give me instruction in installing the composer tool ..
it would be a great help
thanks in advance
I'm beginer with Symfony2 Framework and php. I have started doing a SF2 tutorial and i stopped on setting up the project. I can't install Composer from SF official page on Windows 8, when i choose a php.exe from my php file and click install, then i see following error:

I'm working with WebServ 2.1. I have added to php.ini DEVELOPMENT following code
extension_dir = C:\WebServ\php\ext
extension=php_openssl.dll
C:\WebServ\php\ext is a path to folder with extension files and it contain php_openssl.dll.
It still doesn't work. Do anybody knows how to fix it?
Print phpinfo() and make sure SSL is present there.
Don't forget to restart the webserver after editing php.ini
I'm trying to find the path of the uninstall file for apache 2.2. I can see it in add/remove programs, and tried to find the uninstall path in the registry under HKLM\software\microsoft\windows\currentversion\uninstall but there is no folder for apache...
I'm trying to find the path because I'm making an install file which installs apache/php/mysql and want to uninstall any existing installations of those 3 beforehand.
I know that running the apache installer gives you the option of repair/remove if its already installed but I want the uninstall to be silent/automated, so that the end user doesnt have to manually select remove to actually uninstall the existing apache.
I hope this makes sense, thanks in advance.
On my WinXP x32 laptop there is a key for Apache (2.2.13), installed with the MSI, under
HKLM\software\microsoft\windows\currentversion\uninstall
...and the uninstall string is
MsiExec.exe /I{UUID of key}
Just checked a Win2003 machine (Apache 2.2.19) at work and it is the same.
This probably doesn't help you very much, because you need to find the key before you know which UUID to pass to msiexec.
Looking through the other keys, this seems to be similar for all packages that were installed with MSIs.
Which version of Apache are you looking at? Because some older releases in the 2.2 branch didn't use MSI (if I remember rightly), I think they may have used InstallShield?
How did you originally install apache? Most of the time on Windows it is installed with XAMPP, WAMP, or some other similar bundled package. Try a search for php.ini or apache.conf, then look at the directory structure. That should point you in the right direction, you could also try
apache -k uninstall
Also take a look here http://support.esri.com/en/knowledgebase/techarticles/detail/23569
Here are the instructions I followed when I uninstalled my Apache server on Windows 7: http://www.ehow.com/how_7361546_uninstall-apache-windows.html
And one more thing, when doing the command prompt instruction, be sure to run it as Administrator or it will tell you that access is denied.
All the guides for installing PEAR on wampserver, such as the Symfony guide, say I am to run a go-pear.bat script within some PEAR directory.
I am on wampserver 2.1 and there is no PEAR directory and no go-pear batch script to be found.
Is this just different because I have a newer version? Is there somewhere I can download these missing installation scripts?
It's not installed per default on all setups.
But you can download the plain go-pear script for that: http://pear.php.net/go-pear
Either invoke it with php.exe go-pear or run it through your webserver as regular .php script. (It has a nice installation GUI!)
Rather new to pear myself, but my answer to a similar question:
Running Wampserver 2.2 on Win7 Professional 64bit working with PHP 5.3.8 I have found a few issues with standard way of installing with go-pear. I downloaded the go-pear.phar and ran that via cmd with no deprecated errors etc.
you could also just go to the pear site, download the zips and unzip them in the correct local folders (wamp/bin/php)
we've just solved a similar problem like this, where a copy of a live site set up on a local machine was hitting errors because PEAR was not installed. The installation process was hitting errors so we just downloaded and unzipped PEAR and the required modules directly into the correct directory.
problem solved.
Firts export in the PATH system, add you folder with php, p.e. if you have php 5.4.x in your wamp system:
PATH=...;C:\wamp\bin\php\php5.4.x;
Create a new folder p.e.:
C:\wamp\bin\php\pear\
If your php version is 5.3 or or newer you can use pyrus.phar.
Using pyrus.phar to install pear
php pyrus.phar install pear/PEAR-1.9.4
Export you PATH again:
PATH=....;C:\wamp\bin\php\pear;
you can use pear.bat, or pear.
pear.bat <arguments>

This worked for me on windows 7:
http://www.steptoinstall.com/install-pear-wamp-server-windows-7-8.html
NOTE: Make sure you open command prompt window in administration mode.
I downloaded the 32bit wamp and this includes the pear files. However it is best to install 1.9.2 by downloading go-pear.phar manually, as the default one didn't seem to work.
How it worked for me is,
I went to the PEAR official site and clicked on this link which brings you to go-pear.phar source. Then I saved the file by right clicking on the web page, under my php7.4 ( this is the PHP version I have set on my ENV variables ) folder.
Next opened up the command line as admin and did CD to that folder and ran the following command php go-pear.phar.
This started the PEAR installation process and asked few questions. At the end I was asked to double click on "PEAR_ENV" reg file which was inside the php folder and done.
Hope this will helpful for someone.
