Issues with Composer on Centos

peopleinside

On my centos i am unable to see Composer working.
Why? If I follow what is indicated here: https://getcomposer.org/download/ the command php -r "copy('https://getcomposer.org/installer', 'composer-setup.php');" does not do anything. No file are generated and on next step setup will be corrupted.

In a internet website i read to do the following command sudo yum install php-cli php-zip wget unzip I done this and start to having issue with PHP. The support of the control panel has helped me to reverse back anyway with that command the previous error was resolved but start to have issue with PHP.

So on Centos seems i am unable to install and use composer at the moment. Seems not easy.

So seems at the moment the only way is transfer from a local Windows PC to the server... this will be problematic also for update flarum.

I tried to compile in Windows but if i replace all files except config file is showed a blank page.

Composer takes care of your dependencies, so when you try install something it will throw an error when your server or your php is missing a component, like the mysql module for php.
Having said that copying files from one server to another circumvents those checks. Thus whenever you hit a 500 internal server error (white page) when accessing the site is most likely caused by one or more missing components.
You said that the composer-setup.php file threw errors, but you never pasted the error. The worst thing to do is just give up and work around it, because perhaps a solution to this problem might have been easy and maintaining the workaround will be a permanent burden.
Installing any php-* packages blindly is very unwise. For instance, if you have php 7.1 installed, some operating systems will have its modules under php71-*. Installing php-* packages meant for another php version will cause that php version to be installed in addition, which can break your webhosting control panel.

luceos Thank you for the reply.
Need to install composer for manage well Flarum so when i visit the guide on how install on Centos i found the guide are not helping me. PHP is not missing anything from what i know, all extensions are active.

When i start with the fist command on SSH php -r "copy('https://getcomposer.org/installer', 'composer-setup.php');" nothing happen and on the second command I get error

php -r "if (hash_file('sha384', 'composer-setup.php') === '93b54496[ ...] 8a8') { echo 'Installer verified'; } else { echo 'Installer corrupt'; unlink('composer-setup.php'); } echo PHP_EOL;"
Installer corrupt

so finally i uploaded the file composer.phar downloaded by following manual download 1.7.3

When i try to install the Italian extension I get errors https://github.com/composer/packagist/issues/973

Seems very hard ...

This is my configuration and server issue.
I included the description of the issue on the GitHub topic.

I will look for help on understand how i can fix this issue on my side 🙂 So this is not a composer issue, seems to be not.
Topic can be considered resolved from this community.

If you have suggestions i ma opened.

Issue was caused by this line on my php.ini

[openssl]
openssl.cafile= /etc/ssl/cert/mydomaincabundle.crt

I need this line because without my email sent from PHP by SSL are not working. If this line is present composer doesn't work. If i remove it works but my emails stop to work.

Maybe i need fix this certificate issue but is on my side. Never idea on how to do but i will see, thank you!

peopleinside give these command a try:

wget https://getcomposer.org/composer.phar
chmod +x composer.phar
mv composer.phar /usr/local/bin/composer

peopleinside

Kyrne Thank you. I done this now so maybe i will use command composer instead php /user/bin/composer.phar

Still have an issue on my side that i will need investigate and maybe find some help on the web.
Issue is caused from a php.ini line that i have:

[openssl]
openssl.cafile= /etc/ssl/cert/mydomaincabundle.crt

This made also now have the error with composer:

[Composer\Downloader\TransportException] The "https://api.github.com/rate_limit" file could not be downloaded: SSL operation failed with code 1. OpenSSL Error messages:
error:14090086:SSL routines:ssl3_get_server_certificate:certificate verify failed
Failed to enable crypto
failed to open stream: operation failed

So maybe when i added the open SSL line i solved issue with email sent by php that was having the same error above but this line create composer to have SSL error. Seems is not an issue from composer but from my configuration side. At the moment i never have idea on how to solve. If i remove the openssl line on php.ini composer work fine and mail stop to work.

I have opened a topic on stack overflow , i will also try to ask help to the support of my control panel. I hope to be able to solve this issue in future ... pretty sure is an issue on my server configuration side. I am not into business , i am a small passionate and i do not know very deep SSL and VPS also if i have some knowledge maybe sufficient for manage a VPS.

This issue still be here and i need solve sure with the help of someone 😃

Keep in mind that the general expertise here is not server configuration, networking or Composer troubleshooting. You might indeed find better support at stack overflow, and I hope you do. I'm moving this to off-topic, though, because it's not Flarum related (yet).

jordanjay29 is normal that your message has not been notified to me by email?
Also seems i have no notification of your post.

I loosed also some messages in other topics where i was participating, topics opened by me. Maybe i receive notification only if a user reply directly to me? In the right side I see: following, be notified of all replies.

I checked also my email, no spam no email about your message.

Unless you are following this discussion it's normal not to be notified as @jordanjay29 didn't mention you in his last reply, neither by quoting you nor by hitting Reply under your post or adressing you via @peopleinside.

One of these four conditions needs to be given for any notification.
