How do I enable MongoDB for PHP on Heroku apps - php

I've looked quite a bit and have seen this post, and the corresponding notice that extension is now available. However with the ext, and dropping the ext I still get errors.
Also in their documentation updated 12/3/2014 the ext is in the example at heroku.
Your requirements could not be resolved to an installable set of packages.
Problem 1
- The requested package mongo could not be found in any version, there may be a typo in the package name.
When I try to run my application I see the error in the log that PHP Fatal error: Class 'MongoClient' not found
What am i doing incorrectly?

Not sure I understand your question. The error messages you provided give little information in the context.
You add
"ext-mongo": "*"
to the require { ... } section in your composer.json.
After that, run
$ composer update
to re-generate composer.lock, then
$ git add composer.json composer.lock
$ git commit -m "enable ext/mongo"
$ git push heroku master
That's all.

In case you're using PHP 7 you should ext-mongodb and not ext-mongo add to your composer.json
"ext-mongodb": "*"
After that make sure running
composer update
And committing your composer.lock since Heroku uses the composer.lock to enable the extensions.

Laravel composer error -> root composer.json requires adldap2/adldap2-laravel ^6.0 [duplicate]

I did a lot of research on the web, but did not find a documentation of the composer error log. In the discussions I found, nobody had an explanation that was consistent with the error log. For example:
[Support] Need explanation for "Conclusion: don't install ..."
Why composer says "Conclusion: don't install" when (seemingly) no obstacles are present?
I know, what composer does and can resolve issues on my own, but I often have to consult packagist.org for this. Despite being quite (and unnecessarily) verbose, the composer log only gives me some hints. It does not really point out the concrete problems.
Does anyone know of a complete documentation or how to explain the reasoning behind the logs, maybe taking the above ones as an example?
Documentation of Composer can be found at getcomposer.org/doc, especially Troubleshooting section. Usually the dependency problems comes from misconfiguration of your composer.json and understanding Composer logs comes with experience or learning on trial and error. Documenting every possible errors out of hundreds can become quickly outdated. If you believe some specific error isn't clear enough, you can always raise a new suggestion at the Composer's GitHub page.
As suggested in linked GitHub issue, "Conclusion: don't install" message it could be related to requirements defined in minimum-stability. Another linked question could be related to Composer's bug as reported at GH-7215.
Errors
Here is a small guide explaining the common Composer's errors:
Can only install one of: org/package[x.y.z, X.Y.Z].
If you see this messages, that could be the main cause of the dependency issue. It basically means that based on the Composer's dependency calculation both of these versions are required, but only one major version can be installed (you cannot have both x.y.z and X.Y.Z, unless you split your configuration for different folders). To see why these packages are required, use the composer why/depends command and adjust the dependencies accordingly.
See: How to resolve a "Can only install one of:" conflict? & How to solve two packages requirements conflicts when running composer install?
Installation request for org/package2 (locked at vX.Y.Z)
This message means that there was an installation request for org/package, however, it is locked at X.Y.Z. If the requested version is not compatible with the locked version (like a different major version), you cannot install both. This message often comes along with already mentioned "Can only install one" one. So, whenever you see "locked at", that means Composer reads your installed package version from the composer.lock file. To troubleshoot, you can use composer why/depends command to find why the package was requested and adjust the compatibility, otherwise, you may try to remove composer.lock file and start from scratch (ideally from the empty folder).
See: Installation failed for laravel/lumen-installer: guzzlehttp/guzzle locked at 6.3.0
org/package1 vx.y.z conflicts with org/package2[vX.Y.Z].
It is a similar issue as above where two packages are conflicting and you need to solve the dependency manually. Reading the whole context of the message may give you some more clues. Checking the dependency tree may also help (composer show -t).
conflict with your requirements or minimum-stability
This message means as it reads, so you should check the required version and/or your minimum-stability settings.
This can be caused by a package being marked as non-stable and your requirements being "stable only. See: But these conflict with your requirements or minimum-stability
Or because of conflicts with other installed packages. See: How to identify what is preventing Composer from installing latest version of a package?.
For any other errors, check out the official Composer's Troubleshooting page.
Troubleshooting
Here are more suggestions how to troubleshoot the Composer dependency issues in general:
Add -v/-vv/-vvv parameter to your command for more verbose output.
Run composer diagnose to check for common errors to help debugging problems.
If you seeing "locked at x.y.z" messages, it relates to packages locked in your composer.lock.
Test your composer.json on the empty folder.
Keep your composer.json to minimum.
Run composer show -t to see your current dependency tree.
Run composer show -a org/package x.y.z to check the details about the package.
Feel free to ask a new question at Stack Overflow.
To fully debug Composer's dependency problem, you can:
Analyse or modify the source code (e.g. DependencyResolver/Problem.php).
Run Composer under XDebug, either by the breakpoint or generating a full or partial trace file.

How to identify what is preventing Composer from installing latest version of a package?
Error:
somevendor/somepackage[v1.0.0, ..., v1.9.1] require composer-plugin-api ~[X.X]
This means that that somevendor/somepacakge requires that a specific version range of Composer to be installed.
Run composer -v and compare it to the version constraint in the error message (shown as ~X.X in the example above, but that could be something like ^1.0, or ^2.2, etc).
If your version does not match the constraint, see if you can either:
upgrade or downgrade your composer version to match the composer constraint in the error message
upgrade somevendor/somepackage so that it can work with your Composer version.

Laravel composer install giving error "Your lock file does not contain a compatible set of packages please run composer update"

I have been writing laravel code for quite sometime. Currently, I tried cloning a project from github and editing locally. I installed composer in my project directory but a vendor folder was not included, I tried to run composer install but I gives me this error
Your lock file does not contain a compatible set of packages. Please run composer update
How do I resolve this?
Note: I have tried running composer update on previous clones and that didn't work.
Run this command:
composer install --ignore-platform-reqs
or
composer update --ignore-platform-reqs
Disclaimer, this solution will not fix the issue for PHP 8 projects.
In most cases this happens because of PHP 8 (In my case it was GitHub CI actions automatically started using PHP 8 even though my project is php 7.4)
If you have multiple PHP installations (E.g. 7.4 and 8 on the same server), this is how you can fix it.
Specify your php version in your composer.json file
"config": {
"platform": {
"php": "7.3"
}
},
If you have the lock file already committed, run composer update after you adding above line in to the composer.json and then commit the new lock file. (Please be aware composer update will upgrade your packages to latest versions)
I solved this problem with this command:
composer self-update --1
It probably works because at time that the project was developed, composer was on another version and when change the Major version from 1 to 2 the compatibility was broke. With this command you downgrade composer and probably going to solve this
You should try running composer update --lock that will update all packages and recreate the compose.lock file.
Either you can delete the composer.lock file and run composer install that will also recreate the .lock file.
This resolved my issue.
I had this error with Github Actions trying to deploy a Laravel app, this is probably different than the OP's case but none of the suggestions worked for me. Adding my answer here just in case there is someone else out there with a similar problem to mine.
I had to disable -q in Github Actions and see that it was complaining about extensions not being installed.
Make sure your require section of composer's php extensions matches the extensions: in your github action file for shivammathur/setup-php#v2 and it will deploy again
Recently I've just come across of this error when I tried to run my Laravel 7 project which required php v7.* with php v8. As I forgot my php version I just tried bunch of composer command, but just got error after error.
Anyway, to solve this just downgrade/upgrade php version as required. Just search how to do that in youtube.
you can see your project required php version in composer.json file (just if you wonder)
Also you can try following way (But though it didn't worked for me, seems it helped quite some people)
-- Open composer.json file and change php version to something like this: "php": "^7.3|^8.1"
-- Then run composer update
I faced this problem with my cakephp project in garuda linux (arch based)
Fix :
Install php-intl using sudo pacman -S php-intl
Enable php intl by editing php config ( in my case /etc/php/php.ini ) .
add extension=intl or uncomment the existing one
restart apache or whatever you are using
I had the same error deploying another project with composer, but the problem was a missing php extension.
I understand you solve your problem but for anyone seeing the same error message, here is a general guidance :
The error message Your lock file does not contain a compatible set of packages. Please run composer update is shown each time there is a conflict during the dependency solving step of composer install. (see the relevant part in composer source code)
It doesn't inform on the real problem though, and it could be hard to guess.
To get the exact explanation you can add --verbose option to composer install command (the option is available to any composer command (see the doc)) : composer install --verbose
It will give you the full message explaining what exactly is preventing composer install from completing (package version conflict, missing php extension, etc.), then you'll be able to fix the problem.
Hope this could help.
In my case this problem is occuring in Ubuntu 20.04 Desktop. This is due to some missing packages.
I ran the following commands to install some packages then rerun Composer install and its working properly. The commands are:
sudo apt-get install php-mbstring
sudo apt-get install php-xml
Then rerun composer install

Composer require ext-zip fails

I am told by PHPStorm that I need to composer require ext-zip, however, that command is failing...
PHPStorm says
The command I am issuing is
composer require ext-zip
results in
Your requirements could not be resolved to an installable set of packages.
and
Installation failed, reverting ./composer.json to its original content.
Solution #1 - add ext-zip to your required section of composer.json:
{
"require" : {
"ext-zip": "*"
}
}
Solution #2 - install php-zip extension:
Windows:
Uncomment this line in your php.ini
;extension=php_zip.dll
Linux:
sudo apt-get install php-zip
or
sudo apt-get install php7.0-zip (make sure you typed YOUR php version, you can check your version by doing php -v command)
Then, you need to restart your web server.
sudo service apache2 restart
If your code runs OK - you've already got the zip extension installed on your machine. PHPStorm adds this suggestion to ensure that anywhere else that the project is deployed also has the right extensions too.
Manually adding the line in your composer.json file (require block) "ext-zip": "*", (and others that it can suggest, such as ext-apc, ext-redis and ext-json, as well as any others that you might be using) will make sure that when you deploy it composer can also check that the appropriate extra items are installed.
It's only a warning though, and you could ignore it - or you can allow composer to make sure that your servers are setup as they would be needed to run your code, and do things with zip-files. If your server doesn't have ext-zip installed, composer install would complain, and stop - saving issues later when you discover that code fails without the zip extension, et al.
The given hint comes from PhpStorm, not from composer itself: your IDE has detected that your code uses a method (or in this case: the ZipArchive class) that is only available when the ZIP extension is enabled. But your composer.json did not contain that requirement so far.
So, PhpStorm asks you to add this requirement to the JSON file to make the requirements to run your code more precise. How you solve that requirement is up to you: the best way would be to install that extension, but that is out of composer's scope

How to Install mbstring Extension on Heroku?

How do I install/enable PHP extension mbstring?
Heroku on its documentation says it's shared by default, and should be enabled once a Composer package require it. I tried adding it in composer.json file but nothing changed.
This is my project's composer.json:
{
"require": {
"fabpot/goutte": "^3.2",
"guzzlehttp/guzzle": "^6.2",
"paquettg/php-html-parser": "^1.7",
"ext-mbstring": "*"
}
}
After adding last dependency, I ran:
heroku run composer update
This is the error message I got:
The requested PHP extension ext-mbstring * is missing from your system. Install or enable PHP's mbstring extension.
Thank you
Heroku's filesystem is ephemeral. Any changes you make to it after your Dyno spins up can be lost at any time. This happens at least once per day, and possibly much more frequently.
Additionally, composer update is something that I would advise against running on a server. This command installs the newest available version of each library (or specific ones if you only update specific libraries) that fits what's in composer.json. If you ask for ~1.2 in composer.json you might get 1.2.1 on your development machine, but 1.2.9 in production. This can lead to some tricky bugs.
The composer install command installs the exact versions that are defined in your composer.lock file. It is much safer to run on a server, but it does mean that you've got to update your lock file locally and push it to your server.
For both of these reasons you should run composer update locally. This will update composer.lock, which should then be committed and pushed to Heroku. Heroku will run composer install, and you should be all set.
(Alternatively, you should also be able to run composer update 'ext-mbstring' to leave the rest of your dependencies alone. Be careful with composer update, and try to get in the habit of using composer install unless you know you need to update some of your dependencies.)

Cannot install phpmd through composer

I have this in my composer.json file:
"require": {
"phpmd/phpmd:": "1.4.0"
}
When I do:
php composer.phar update
I get:
Problem 1
- The requested package phpmd/phpmd: 1.4.0 could not be found.
In the documentation they say it can be isntalled through composer with the line I used - "phpmd/phpmd:": "1.4.0".
But it's not working.
http://phpmd.org/download/index.html
Why?
The phpmd/phpmd package is at packagist (https://packagist.org/packages/phpmd/phpmd), the default repository for composer to search for packages. Not being able to locate phpmd sounds like you either have an offline system, a problem with your network or packagist.org had a timeout.
/edit:
I see you have a typo. Don't write phpmd/phpmd: but phpmd/phpmd (without the trailing colon).
