I am experiencing a fatal error while using artisan on the (fantastic) Laravel PHP framework.
I recently downloaded v3.2.1 of Laravel, and I tried running the following command line from within the directory that artisan resides:
php artisan key:generate
This should create a random key for me in my applications/application.php file. (Please see http://laravel.com/docs/artisan/commands for a specific reference to this command.)
However, when I run this command from the shell I receive the following error:
Warning: chdir(): No such file or directory (errno 2) in /home/[USERNAME REMOVED]/websites/[DIRECTORY REMOVED]/htdocs/dev/sb4/paths.php on line 62
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING in /home/[USERNAME REMOVED]/websites/[DIRECTORY REMOVED]/htdocs/dev/sb4/laravel/core.php on line 1
This is what's on line 62 of paths.php:
chdir(__DIR__);
This is what's on line 1 of core.php:
<?php namespace Laravel;
My question is this: Are there any specific environment, directory, or other permissions that I should modify to get artisan up and running.
A little background:
I installed Laravel 3.2.1 yesterday for the first time
I can run a simple web application successfully on my system (i.e. I can route a request to a controller and load up the associated blade properly)
I simply downloaded the Laravel 3.2.1 (laravel-laravel-v3.2.1-8-gaae8b62.zip) from GitHub and extracted it on my server
My environment:
PHP 5.3.13 on a shared host at Dreamhost
FireSSH to run the commands
My root directory: (permissions in parenthesis)
/application (775)
/bundles (775)
/laravel (775)
/public (775)
/storage (775)
/artisan (664)
/paths.php (777)
Please let me know if there are any other details about my setup that relevant. I'm really not sure what will help in troubleshooting this issue.

UPDATE: I also posted this issue to Laravel's GitHub issue tracker. (https://github.com/laravel/laravel/issues/820)
First off, thanks #KingCrunch, your first response led me down the correct path toward resolving this issue. Additionally, I received an excellent response from Dreamhost technical support (specifically Gary S), who gave me the concise answer I was looking for.
The issue was: I was running PHP 5.2.17 at the CLI, whereas my web server was running PHP 5.3.13.
The resolution is: Use
/usr/local/php53/bin/php artisan <command>
when running artisan commands at the CLI. This will ensure that all of my artisan commands are run using PHP 5.3 and above, which satisfies Laravel's PHP 5.3+ requirements.
Namespaces and the __DIR__-pseud-constant were introduced in PHP 5.3. It seems you are running an old version. You should update to at least 5.3.
php -v

I have a Laravel/Homestead project that is finally working locally. Now I'm trying to port it over to HostGator and can't get it running due to titled error. I've tried all the suggested solutions to no avail. Including:
composer require laravel/laravel
composer dump-autoload
composer install --no-scripts
composer update
composer update --no-scripts
Nothing works. Same error. If this is a clue, I also tried
php artisan clear-compiled
and get response of
Could not open input file: artisan
I'm about ready to give up on Laravel/Homestead. I've spent countless hours on this framework with nothing but problems to show for it. Would not recommend it to anybody.
You can see the error yourself here:
http://www.tekknow.net/MedAverter/medaverter/
Any suggestions before I throw in the towel?
For the artisan file, the artisan file is not required through includes, you have it in your root project, which is created when you create your Laravel project. Here is the file.
So you need to have that file in your project.
For the missing class, you try to require laravel/laravel but that is not the correct dependency. Again that github repo is a shell for a project, to have Laravel features you need to base of laravel/laravel and include laravel/framework.
Hope this clears up some confusing and can get you on the right track. Secondly you shouldn't port it over, but simply cloning your project and running composer install should be sufficient.
The problem turned out to be two issues.
1. The wrong version of PHP was running. If I ssh'ed into the hostgator server and did
php -v
It showed PHP 5.6.30 even though I had selected Php 7.1 in the cPanel PHP Selector. If I did
tekknow.net/phpinfo.php
it would say I was using 7.1. Called up HostGator tech support and they were able to change it to PHP 7.3.13.
Now if I do:
php artisan clear cache
I no longer get the error about
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '?' in
/home1/sl1k7f3j/public_html/medaverter/bootstrap/app.php on line 15
which was an error caused by a version of php that doesn't support the ?? operator.
The second problem was a lack of memory issue. If I did
composer update
It would start to work but would fail in about 30 seconds with
Fatal error: Out of memory (allocated 709623808) (tried to allocate
34187559 bytes) in
phar:///opt/cpanel/composer/bin/composer/src/Composer/Json/JsonFile.php
on line 270
The HostGator tech rep could not figure out why that was happening but I got around that issue by manually uploading my local vendor folder to the host server.
Now when I go to http://tekknow.net/medaverter/ it works!
Heey!
So I've recently been given the task to take a Laravel 5.2 up to 5.6. It seemed to be fine...until I tried to do a \Log::info(). Every time I run that, I get a big error, but at the end, it still prints to the log. I saw the 5.6 documentation on creating the config/logger.php. I took a fresh copy of it from github. The only thing I did after that was set an env variable for the LOG_CHANNEL to be single. Here's the error I get:
[2018-03-02 08:28:59] laravel.EMERGENCY: Unable to create configured logger. Using emergency logger. {"exception":"[object] (InvalidArgumentException(code: 0): Log [] is not defined. at I:\xampp\htdocs\mtm\vendor\laravel\framework\src\Illuminate\Log\LogManager.php:181)
[ ....
I did a file comparison between Laravel 5.2 and 5.6. I'm not seeing anything that jumps out that would break the Logging functionality.
Has anyone run into this with a Laravel upgrade?
Add this file to your config folder
https://github.com/laravel/laravel/blob/5.6/config/logging.php
and add this to your .env file LOG_CHANNEL=stack
Don't forget to run php artisan config:clear command afterwards.
I was facing the same issue due to upgrade of my laravel version from 5.3 to 5.7. But after search of few mints i found the solution.
You just need to follow the following steps.
create logging.php file inside the config folder.
Copy code from this Official Link of Laravel.
Past this code into your logging.php file.
run this command -- php artisan config:clear
All done. Happy Coding :)
I got the same problem and tried to do everything as you did but not work.
Finally, I've found that it was because of cached config, just clear it and everything will be fine:
php artisan config:clear
I recently had the same error in my development machine (and not in the production one, oddly). In my development machine I have both php 7.1 and php 7.2 installed. Checking with phpinfo(), I discovered that 7.1 was the default version, so I decided to switch to 7.2.
sudo a2dismod php7.1
sudo a2enmod php7.2
sudo systemctl restart apache2
That didn't solve the problem (but maybe was part of it).
After several hours spent on trying everything suggested around the web, I found my solution by:
Checking all the permissions in the storage folder.
In my project folder, clearing all the cache(s) and config(s).
Dumping all composer autoload files.
In detail:
cd your_project_full_path
sudo chmod -R 0775 storage
sudo chown -R www-data:www-data storage
php artisan config:clear
php artisan view:clear
php artisan route:clear
composer dump-autoload
After this, I had no problem any more. Maybe try 0755 as permission for the storage folder. Hope this helps!
use upgrade guide , and add logging.php to your config files.
After two days of some research, I found a solution on Github.
If you are using Laravel 5.5.4 to Laravel 5.6.*, then you can just install and configure the exceptions package by Graham Campbell.
Link: https://github.com/GrahamCampbell/Laravel-Exceptions
This worked perfectly for me on Mac OSX (PHP 7.1.7), Laravel 5.6.22
My initial error:
2018-05-25 14:35:07] laravel.EMERGENCY: Unable to create configured logger.
Using emergency logger. {"exception":"[object] (InvalidArgumentException(code: 0): Log [] is not defined. at /Users/pro/Sites/metiwave/vendor/laravel/framework/src/Illuminate/Log/LogManager.php:181)
In my case, APP_LOG= was blank in .env file so I saved it as APP_LOG=single and it worked.
I had the same issue, turns out I had accidentally moved the config folder. If you find yourself in the same situation, (probably as embarrassed as I am) move it back to the root folder of your project.
Regards
all right, i got it
take a look at the official library, copy log config configuration code ：
link ：https://github.com/laravel/laravel/blob/5.6/config/logging.php
create in your project's config directory logging.php file
copy the code in
clear the cache ：php artisan config:clear
that's it. keep stomping ...
I actually wanted to follow up on this question, but I guess It's better to start a new question.
I installed a fresh copy of my own laravel(5.0), and I tried running php artisan route:list, which works.
Now I have downloaded the compressed repository of a project I want to deploy on a shared hosting enviorment, but when I run php artisan route:list nothing happens.(No error message, nothing). Using this method for hosting the application
The actual problem is php artisan migrate, which also outputs nothing!
Is there a good method for troubleshooting this ?
Could you provide me we some points of failure that I can check ?
Worth mentioning:
I'm no Laravel developer and I have limited time reading up on it.
As LittleFinger suggested, it's possible that artisan is not actually yet installed. When deploying from a repo, Laravel's packages of which the entire framework core is composed, are not included. You should run composer install to install the packages. If you don't have composer installed that can be difficult on shared hosting, but it's usually possible to install it.
You will need to run composer install before you run composer update. Running composer update is not required, unless you want to update to the newest versions of your packages which are allowed by the rules in your composer.json file. This should be done with care in a production environment as new versions of packages could break your app.
Once you've installed the packages, you'll need to set your environment variables (database credentials etc.) by copying the .env.example file to .env and editing it. Once you've done this you'll be able to run php artisan key:generate to generate an encryption key.
After this, your app should work (assuming you've pointed a domain to the /public directory).
I am facing the same issue when I try to run
php artisan migrate or php artisan cache:clear
nothing happen just a blank screen no success no error see the screenshot
after debugging I found a message in error_log in root directory which says.
Fatal Error: Allowed Memory Size
after increasing the memory php artisan commands works fine
I am trying to install Yii2 on WAMP using composer.
c:\Users\username>php composer.phar create-project yiisoft/yii2-app-basic basic 2.0.0
I am getting the following error when I run the command which is given above.
[ErrorException]
Argument 1 passed to Fxp\Composer\AssetPlugin\Repository\BowerRepository::createVcsRepositoryConfig() must be of the type array, null given, called in C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Composer\vendor\fxp\composer-asset-plugin\Repository\AbstractAssetsRepository.php on line 136 and defined
Can someone help solving this error? But, it is created a folder named "basic".
I have copied this folder to D:\wamp\www and when I access localhost/basic/web/ from browser, I am getting the following error.
ReflectionException
Class yii\debug\Module does not exist
I am following the instructions to install yii2 from http://www.yiiframework.com/download/
Please assist me to resolve these issues.
Thanks
First windows does not have a curl processor like unix so you need to use the other option for installing Composer
php -r "eval('?>'.file_get_contents('https://getcomposer.org/installer'));"
For this to work you need the php.exe processor to be on your path, so you have 2 options here. Either add the c:\wamp\bin\php\phpx.y.z folder to your PATH or my prefered option write yourself a little .cmd file which will do it for you like this
addphp.cmd
PATH=%PATH%;c:\wamp\bin\php\phpx.y.z
Put this file in a folder already registered on your path so you can run it from anywhere in a command window.
Now you will have to edit the \wamp\bin\php\phpx.y.z\php.ini file. This is similiar to the one used by php code run through the Apache web server but is only used by the PHP CLI (Command Line Interpreter)
Make sure the extension php_curl is uncommented or the above line wont work i.e. remove the ; comment symbol
extension=php_curl.dll
So now run a command window, cd into the folder that you want composer installed into and run the command above, then follow the rest of the install instructions on Install instructions
EDIT: Thank you for reminding me.
This error happens because of invalid json on plugin you or application requested (npm or bower).
The link here suggests you to run:
composer global update.
This will update composer cache. Hope it helps.
I have searched all over the Internet (including Stack Overflow) for an answer regarding this recent problem I've encountered.
I'm trying to install and run the latest version of the Laravel PHP Framework and am currently going through the QuickStart steps. When I get to the Migration steps after creating the view files and a 'user' table, I keep getting thrown with the 'PDOEXCEPTION' error -> 'could not find driver'.
Here are the steps I have taken so far in attempting to install Laravel.
System Specs -> Windows 7 PC with WAMP server installed and PHP5 installed as a separate folder.
Steps:
Installed 'Composer' Tool for PHP. After downloading the install file and running setup, it found the 'PHP' directory on my hard drive located on (C:\PHP) and continued to install via that PATH.
Installed 'Laravel' by using 'Composer' by typing in the following command into my command terminal via the 'PHP' directory (C:\PHP) -> 'composer create-project laravel/laravel blog --prefer-dist'
Went into my new 'blog' project (C:\php\blog) and modified the files 'C:\php\blog\app\routes.php', 'C:\php\blog\app\views\users.blade.php', 'C:\php\blog\app\views\layout.blade.php'.
Used the following command to create a migration within the 'blog' project (C:\php\blog) 'php artisan migrate:make create_users_table'. After creating this file, I modified it according to the Laravel online Quickstart Guide.
After I modified this program, I then typed in 'php artisan migrate' and that's when I keep getting the PDOEXCEPTION: 'could not find driver' problem.
I have checked my php.ini file and the extension for the php_pdo_mysql.dll is set and I still keep getting this error.
After spending a lot of time researching this error, I still cannot figure out what is causing this issue. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Please help me guys!
I took The Shift Exchange's advice and downloaded Laravel Homestead and I now have my system up and running.
Use the following link for steps in installing Laravel Homestead properly: http://laravel.com/docs/4.2/homestead
Note that if you are using Windows, you'll probably have to use Putty to connect to your VirtualBox machine properly.
