Problems and more problems.

It is impossible to install any extension on the server. Some error always appears and in the end, the consequence is that I will probably leave Flarum.

The support in English is non-existent, they don't answer in the forums... and then there is no documentation that is clear for a person without so much knowledge.

If I want to install the Spanish translation extension I get this error:

Problem 1 - Root composer.json requires flarum-lang/spanish ^1.3 -> satisfiable by flarum-lang/spanish[1.3.0, 1.3.1, 1.3.2]. - Root composer.json requires hwi/oauth-bundle ^0.6.3 -> satisfiable by hwi/oauth-bundle[0.6.3]. - hwi/oauth-bundle 0.6.3 requires symfony/form ^2.8|^3.0|^4.0 -> satisfiable by symfony/form[v2.8.0, ..., v2.8.52, v3.0.0, ..., v3.4.47, v4.0.0, ..., v4.4.46]. - symfony/form[v4.3.0, ..., v4.4.46] require symfony/event-dispatcher ^4.3 -> satisfiable by symfony/event-dispatcher[v4.3.0, ..., v4.4.44]. - symfony/form[v4.0.0, ..., v4.2.12] require symfony/event-dispatcher ~3.4|~4.0 -> satisfiable by symfony/event-dispatcher[v3.4.0, ..., v3.4.47, v4.0.0, ..., v4.4.44]. - symfony/form[v3.4.0, ..., v3.4.47] require symfony/event-dispatcher ~2.8|~3.0|~4.0 -> satisfiable by symfony/event-dispatcher[v2.8.0, ..., v2.8.52, v3.0.0, ..., v3.4.47, v4.0.0, ..., v4.4.44]. - symfony/form[v3.0.0, ..., v3.3.18] require symfony/event-dispatcher ~2.8|~3.0 -> satisfiable by symfony/event-dispatcher[v2.8.0, ..., v2.8.52, v3.0.0, ..., v3.4.47]. - symfony/form[v2.8.0, ..., v2.8.52] require symfony/event-dispatcher ~2.1|~3.0.0 -> satisfiable by symfony/event-dispatcher[v2.1.0, ..., v2.8.52, v3.0.0, ..., v3.0.9]. - You can only install one version of a package, so only one of these can be installed: symfony/event-dispatcher[v2.1.0, ..., v2.8.52, v3.0.0, ..., v3.4.47, v4.0.0, ..., v4.4.44, v5.0.0, ..., v5.4.9, v6.0.0, ..., v6.1.0]. - Conclusion: install symfony/event-dispatcher v5.3.0 (conflict analysis result)

**If I want to install any other extension, I get more errors. I have the forum installed on a fairly powerful server and with all the stays updated. But if I finally can't install or modify anything, Flarum really doesn't seem very profitable to create a forum.

The idea is wonderful, but honestly the documentation is very little or nonexistent.**

Yeah, composer is a bit of a tough nut if you're not used to reading its errors. In the end it protects your forum from being bricked entirely and having zero way to restore it. So instead, it prevents you to install any packages/dependencies that are conflicting.

Now to getting you up and running.

Did you try running composer require flarum-lang/spanish:"*"? That's what has been mentioned in the other discussion (I'll lock that one to prevent any confusion).
Can you provide the output of php flarum info or if that doesn't work php -V?
Can you provide the contents of composer.json?

With these we should be able to trace the issue fairly easily.

PS I don't get why English support is non-existent? You posted two discussions in the last two hours, a lot of the people that do support are in CEST and just woke up, just like me... And we all have other obligations as well (like making breakfast for kids), feel free to complain if your question hasn't been answered after 48 hours, but 2 is really not setting a good expectation on your end.

iamjoselorenzo

You are right and for that reason, I apologize. I am not referring to this forum, I am referring to the Spanish forum. It has hardly any activity... but I apologize again.

iamjoselorenzo

I will now answer each question, thank you for your patience.

Installation failed, reverting ./composer.json to its original content.

In other words, I get several different errors...

Can you provide the output of php flarum info or if that doesn't work php -V?
Where can I find it?

Can you provide the contents of composer.json?

It seems you used a different php version before. Try running composer update first and then, if that succeeds, the composer installation command for the Spanish language.

iamjoselorenzo

Wow, Luceo thanks for your quick response. I have run the composer update command and I get this series of errors in the Terminal of my server.

I can't do the second step, because I am failing most of the commands.

Root composer.json requires hwi/oauth-bundle ^0.6.3

This part is confusing. It looks like you manually installed hwi/oauth-bundle at a specific (outdated) version, but we don't see it in your copy of composer.json.

Are you running the composer command in the correct directory? You need to cd into the Flarum directory (where composer.json and config.php exist) before running the command. Your prompt in the last command shows location ~ which is probably not the right place.

If you are certain you are in the correct directory and it still doesn't work, you could try running composer remove hwi/oauth-bundle to remove the manual lock on that dependency. After that you can run composer update again to attempt to update your dependencies for PHP 8.0+.

Until that manual lock is removed somehow, Composer will refuse to install anything while running PHP 8.1.

I don't know why you would have installed that specific dependency with Composer in the server root folder outside of Flarum, but unless you're certain it was the result of a previous mistake, I'd just leave it like that and not try to remove it. Just check for any remaining errors while running Composer inside of the Flarum folder.

iamjoselorenzo

Thank you both very much. To Luceos for his patience and kindness, even though I was quite rude. And to you, Clarkwin.

As Clarkwin told me, I was running the commands outside the folder where I have the forum installed. That is, the solution was easy and a rookie mistake hehehe.

I accessed through the terminal to the specific folder where my Flarum forum is located and when I executed the indicated commands. Woala! Solved and I already have the language in Spanish. They are great. Some years ago I loved this forum and its simplicity and now I can enjoy it, thanks to you. :
