PHP Error | Godaddy Shared Hosting | Php 5.5 Not Recognized

i3itCoin

I was installing flarum on cPanel following these directions: https://discuss.flarum.org/d/1342-cpanel-flarum-ssh-install-steps/2 and I forgot to set PHP version to 5.5 so It gave me this error:

Your requirements could not be resolved to an installable set of packages.

I set the PHP version to 5.5 now and am wondering what to enter to continue with the instillation.

jordanjay29

Remove the flarum folder and run the installation command again would be the easiest way.

Installing flarum/flarum (v0.1.0-beta.5)


  [InvalidArgumentException]
  Project directory ./ is not empty.


create-project [-s|--stability STABILITY] [--prefer-source] [--prefer-dist] [--repository REPOSITORY] [--repository-url REPOSITORY-URL] [--dev] [--no-dev] [--no-plugins] [--no-custom-installers] [--no-scripts] [--no-progress] [--keep-vcs] [--no-install] [--ignore-platform-reqs] [--] [<package>] [<directory>] [<version>]

Spits this out then.

And I moved all the files out of the public_html/forums so it was just an empty folder, then cd'ed into that folder and reran the command

i3itCoin

Never mind. There were hidden files still in there. Now it will not show that I changed my PHP version.

I am though: http://northwesthuntingparty.org/version.php

Is there, by chance, a different php executable you need to use for php 5.5?

i3itCoin

jordanjay29 I was looking in to it and I may just reinstall composer because I think since I installed composer with the older PHP version it may have screwed it up.

jordanjay29

jordanjay29 Is there, by chance, a different php executable you need to use for php 5.5?

This is likely the case. Check with your host to see if there are additional php executables (sometimes these are named like php5 or php5-5 etc, that you must use instead of php in your command string).

jordanjay29

i3itCoin Sounds good. If you still have problems after that, let us know.

luceos

i3itCoin try:

php -v

to see what php version is used in terminal. Understand this can be completely different from the one used by the webserver.

I reset cPanel and re-upgraded PHP so http://northwesthuntingparty.org/version.php shows Current PHP version: 5.5.31 but php -v shows 5.4.45... Not sure how to update

i3itCoin

jordanjay29 I am on the line now with Godaddy so we will see what they say. I did not know that there were 2 different PHP sections. Good to know!

jordanjay29

i3itCoin Oh, we should have asked you about your host earlier. We have a guide for this already.

i3itCoin

jordanjay29
TY! You guys rock with your support!

jordanjay29

i3itCoin Beautiful! Be sure to post back when you have a working Flarum install. ?

i3itCoin

jordanjay29

So.... php -v shows it is 5.5.31 but composer dosent agree ?

luceos

i3itCoin composer might be identifying the wrong php version as the one in use, simply do the following (at your own risk):

composer install flarum/flarum --prefer-dist --no-dev --ignore-platform-reqs --stability=beta <directory>

The --ignore-platform-reqs will ignore whatever php (module) is required. Just be sure you check all of the requirements manually by looking at the installation guide and php -i output.

Edit: noticed only now it was solved already. Never mind then, move along! ?

jordanjay29

How are you calling composer without php? The command is generally php composer and the rest.

You could try reinstalling composer, or just using the composer.phar in the local folder (and not moving it to the usr/local/bin folder).

i3itCoin

jordanjay29 I am just doing what this says...
https://discuss.flarum.org/d/1342-cpanel-flarum-ssh-install-steps

so it says use
composer create-project flarum/flarum . --stability=beta

to install

Composer is fine:

slattery@a2plcpnl0636 [~/public_html/forums]$ composer --version
Composer version 1.0.2 2016-04-21 12:30:18

jordanjay29

Ahh, gotcha, they made an alias. That's the problem.

alias composer="/usr/bin/php-cli ~/bin/composer/composer.phar"

This is their alias. But your php executable is at

/opt/alt/php55/usr/bin/php

You see the problem?

Can you paste here the output of the following?

which php

i3itCoin

jordanjay29
/home/slattery/bin/php

My .bashrc right now...

# .bashrc
[ -z "$PS1" ] && return

# Source global definitions
if [ -f /etc/bashrc ]; then
	. /etc/bashrc
fi

# User specific aliases and functions
alias composer="/usr/bin/php-cli ~/bin/composer/composer.phar"

jordanjay29

Oh, I misread. Try

which php-cli

(it's probably in the same place, but we're just trying to be safe)
