I'm on the propel website now (http://www.propelorm.org/wiki/Documentation/1.5/Installation), and as I expected, there's a lot of command-line instructions for installing it, but how do I get it to work on my www.winhost.com server? Do I just upload the propel folder, and that's it?
Just download the tarball available at the download page (http://files.propelorm.org/propel-1.5.5.tar.gz) and extract it on your web space. More instructions can be found in the tarball in the INSTALL file :)
If you can't run a command line on your server, you can generate the model files on your local computer and upload them. You only need the runtime part of the Propel installation on your server, the generator part is only used for creating the files.

i have started making my own site where i want to use PHPMailer!.First of all i installed PHPMailer via Composer(cmd) on my desktop then used localhost to run my page where the PHPMailer was running just fine.I then tried to just transfer my page files and files that were generated in there from PHPMailer (those are:vendor directory ,composer.json,composer.lock) to FTP.When i tried running it on live page it didn't work and threw Error:
Fatal error: require(): Failed opening required '/www/sites/0/site25740/public_html/vendor/composer/ClassLoader.php'
(include_path='.:/usr/share/php:/usr/local/zend/share/ZendFramework/library') in
/www/sites/0/site25740/public_html/vendor/composer/autoload_real.php on line 12
I think that my problem is that i generated those files into my desktop directory and therefore they are not working on live page.
Is there any way to maybe generate those files on my FTP server or maybe changing the structure of those files to work on live page?
You need to use SSH not FTP.
Once you SSH into your server, you can run the composer install command to install dependencies the same as you have on your desktop.
[Edit] An FYI - Yes, we can upload the vendor folder. Composer is a deployment tool. Uploading a vendor folder is NOT using a deployment tool.
If I am deploying 100 applications - and uploading 50mb of dependencies 100 times from a branch office on a cable/dsl ... how fast & efficient is that? If we offload that 50mb download to the server, how fast is that?
We have an option to do deployments wrong, or to do deployments properly.
I do not condone doing it wrong. It's clearly an option, however it is wrong.
I have not every used, or even installed the Zend Framework.
I have inherited a website built in the ZF and only have FTP access to the deployed version that is live.
Is it possible to simply download the files that are live and run then locally within XAMPP, as i have tried this but ther server has lots of short cut director mappings and no ZEND?
I am assuming not, so can i install Zend and then download the site to my local machine for it then to work?
Any assistance on this would be helpful as have no idea about it, whether i need source files or not.
Thanks
Shaun
once you have the project downloaded in xampp. make sure you have composer installed and configured.
delete the vendor folder inside your project then run
composer install
under the root of your application.
I'm using the mPDF library for PHP, but the current release is not compatible with PHP 7. Various issue threads on Github suggest using the current Dev version; but it appears that simply downloading the Zip file excludes important files (including the /vendors/ directory and the autoload.php file.)
The developer seems impatient with people asking this question, and actually told somebody "go ask on StackExchange". So... here I am.
How the heck do I download the entire package from the development branch?
As stated in the comments, the package you are trying to use is being installed through Composer
Install Composer to your machine if you did not do it previously
Unzip file to directory of your choice
Navigate to such directory in command line / terminal
Run composer install
I want to install intervention/image package on my web server i had installed on my localhost , and i want to install it on my web server , Can I Install Laravel 4 package without using Composer? because i don't have acces to use command prompt on my web server.
How are you installing Laravel and the other dependencies already?
Just install it locally like normal then copy your vendor directory along with the rest of your project to your host.
it's possible for you to just upload your vendor directory with ftp, but I wouldn't advise it to you.
Couple of reasons:
You don't want to upload your dev-dependencies, so you would have to handpick which folder to upload - everytime you want to update your dependencies
Uploading over ftp is very slow, so that might take a long time
You don't get the latest versions of the dependencies (which could resolve some security issues)
You wouldn't get any warning if some package isn't compatible with your environment.
I suggest you to use a host that gives you CLI, or even better that can directly run composer when you push up your files, as hannesvdvreken said, fortrabbit (Disclosure: i work there).
If you are running PHP on a shared host without composer you still have some options left:
Install composer on the server in the same folder as your project,
Upload composer.phar to your server,
Change your hosting provider (try fortrabbit),
Upload your vendor folder from your local computer to your server. (Last resort)
Yes you can download it via LaraPack. It provide you ready-to-use Laravel instalation, so you don't have install it with Composer. It also gets weekly update.
I am currently trying to install Omnipay into my Codeigniter project. I am stuck on windows because I do not have ssh access to the box where this needs to run on. So far I have gotten a new directory in the project root that is named "vendor" and it contains a lot of empty directories referring to Symfony (for what reason is beyond me).
Then I get a runtime exception that I need to enable the openssl extension in my php to download the necessary files and this is where I am stuck at. I don't run WAMP on my computer and I just use the php.exe I downloaded to work with netbeans.
Isn't there an easier way to get omnipay to run? Like just download the files from somewhere and plug them into my project like normal? It seems to be an aweful lot of headache to get a simple library to run in my CI project.
Please forgive my ignorance towards composer but I currently see no benefit of using it for this particular project.
You can "just download" the files here: https://github.com/omnipay/common/archive/master.zip
The problem is, Omnipay depends on Guzzle (an HTTP library), and Guzzle depends on some Symfony components. So you will spend the rest of the day downloading dependencies and making sure you have all the necessary files. That is the problem Composer solves for you.
I don't have any experience running Composer on Windows, but I would start here:
http://getcomposer.org/doc/00-intro.md#installation-windows
Using the Installer
This is the easiest way to get Composer set up on your machine.
Download and run Composer-Setup.exe, it will install the latest
Composer version and set up your PATH so that you can just call
composer from any directory in your command line.
Once you have Composer installed, you should simply be able to make a file named composer.json in your project root, with the following contents:
{
"require": {
"omnipay/omnipay": "~2.0"
}
}
Then use the Command Prompt and cd to your project's directory, and run composer update to download the Omnipay files and all their dependencies.
