I am receiving this error whenever I try to install Laravel Artisan Migrations. I'll tell you what I have done...
I have gone into my .bash_profile:
export PATH=/opt/local/bin:/opt/local/sbin:/Applications/MAMP/Library/bin/:/Applications/MAMP/bin/php/php5.5.3/bin:$PATH
and when I check to see which version of PHP I am using, it's the one in my MAMP folder. And it is certainly enabled! But when I type Laravel Artisan: Migrate: Install it prompts me back with MCrypt PHP extension required. Composer is functioning properly. So is Laravel 4. It's this Migrations that is giving me trouble.
Not sure that a user name like LaravelSucks is going to make it easy for you to get help from the Laravel community, but since we're generally bigger than that ... I think you'll find your answer here.
If that doesn't work for you, you may need to set it up manually, e.g.
sudo apt-get install php5-mcrypt

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
I tried to work with yii basic migrations. yii migrate/create is working, yii migrate - not.
I use command php yii migrate. I get the following message:
Exception 'yii\db\Exception' with message 'could not find driver'
in ../basic/vendor/yiisoft/yii2/db/Connection.php:547
I have found advice that I need to add some files from advanced yii to my basic. I do not know what should be done exactly.
You should install extension to your php of DB, which you are using. In case it is already installed, make sure that it is properly turned on in your php-cli settings.
For example, in case you are using Ubuntu and php5-fpm you can run
sudo apt-get install php5-mysql
Homestead randomly stopped working for me, so I tried to remove the whole thing and reinstall, but it's not gone well.
I have it "running" after a day and a half of muddling my way through various issues. However, for reasons that I cannot understand, my Homestead box is now running PHP 7.
The instructions I was following had optional options for installing PHP 7, but I intentionally skipped that because we are on PHP 5.
For the life of me, I can't figure out how to fix this. Things I have tried:
I have destroyed and reinstalled the box multiple times.
I have deleted the VirtualBox box multiple times and redownloaded it.
I tried installing v0.3.3 of the box based on one suggestion. (I also updated the homestead.rb script accordingly.) At one point, something failed during the install process with php7.0-fpm: unrecognized service and the configured sites were returning 502 Bad Gateway errors.
After reinstalling with v.0.4.0, it has started "running" as I described (serves the sites as expected, etc.), but with PHP 7.
Searching for solutions has persistently led to a dead-end.
I'm just a dummy front-end developer. :) Laravel, Vagrant, Homestead, all this stuff makes my head hurt. I just want this to work again so I can go back to my actual work. Any advice or alternate avenues of pursuit for researching this problem would be appreciated.
I've been through this issue too and I solved it by installing an old homestead box v0.3.3 and I've used an old release of homestead installer, so I suggest that you remove your current box v0.4.0 and delete your homestead folder then do this:
$vagrant box add laravel/homestead --box-version 0.3.3
and then download an older version of Homestead installer from git, I'm using v2.1.8 it works fine.
Enjoy php 5.6 :)
I had a similar problem where I tried to upgrade Homestead to the most recent Homestead 7.0 box and configure it to run PHP 5.6 instead of PH7, which various sources said was possible via adding a line to the .yaml file specifying the PHP version.
sites:
- map: myproject.local
to: /home/vagrant/Code/craven/public_html
php: "5.6"
What actually happened when I tried that was that I got a 502 CGI gateway error. Here is a summary of the steps I had to take to fix it:
1) SSH into the Homestead virtual machine.
ssh vagrant#127.0.0.1 -p 2222
Taking a look at the nginx error log in /var/log/nginx/ reveals that the PHP 5.6 files the server is looking for don't exist.
You can get confirmation of this by having a look at the executables.
ls -la /usr/bin/php*
2) To install PHP 5.6, run
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install php5.6-fpm
You can confirm that the php 5.6 service is running via the command
service --status-all
3) Once all this is working, refresh the web page for your site and it should now work. In my case, because I was running a Laravel 4.2 site, I then to install Mcrypt:
sudo apt-get install php5.6-mcrypt
4) In order to get my mysql database up and running, I also had to install mysql.
sudo apt-get install php5.6-mysql
And of course after all that, I had to re-import the database contents from the file I'd exported before upgrading the Homestead box.
Note that if you ever destroy and recreate the Homestead box, you will need to repeat all these steps again.
Let me start off by saying I'm completely new to Laravel and I would say I'm a beginner at PHP given how long it's been since I last did any PHP development. I'm running Mac OS X Yosemite (10.10.2) and I've installed AMPPS 3.0. I have installed composer and Laravel (as per instructions found here) as well. Now when I try to install Laravel on AMPPS (via http://localhost/ampps) I get the following messages:
The following errors were found :
Could not download composer.phar
Could not install composer
Could someone please enlighten me as to why this is happening? Also is this step necessary since I already have Laravel installed on my mac?
Short answer: I have no idea.
Long answer: I found this link when i was having some trouble with this myself.
Basically what's missing was adding the ampps php path in the bash file.
export AMPPS_PHP=/Applications/AMPPS/php/bin
export PATH="$AMPPS_PHP:$PATH"
Then, moving composer to user/bin directory with
sudo mv composer.phar /usr/local/bin/composer
I just included the big parts of what was missing in my case. Then install laravel as normal.
There are many documentation about how to install Zend Framework 2. But they are hard to understand. I've tried lot of guidance in the web. But still I couldn't install ZF2.
This might be a duplicate question. But I went through most of them and ended up with no success.
Can any one please give me the simple step by step installation guidance?
I'm using XAMPP on windows 7
Thanks a lot
EDIT: I'm getting this error
once you download skeleton application from Github you have run following command from command prompt
