Composer issue

adriculous

Hello, hope you don't mind me joining in.

I tried installing the signature extension to my forum, but I'm getting an "installation failed" error. This is what I'm getting:

Problem 1
- Installation request for xengine/flarum-ext-signature ^0.1.2 -> satisfiable by xengine/flarum-ext-signature[0.1.2].
- xengine/flarum-ext-signature 0.1.2 requires flarum/core ^0.1.0-beta.6 -> satisfiable by flarum/core[0.1.x-dev, v0.1.0-beta.6] but these conflict with your requirements or minimum-stability.

I'm using PuTTY to access my web server. Any idea why?

Thank you for this extension. ?

clarkwinkelmann

adriculous can you copy-paste the content of your composer.json ?

You probably have the minimum-stability setting misconfigured.

I haven't touched my composer.json other than installing extensions.

adriculous you should put the content of composer.json between three backticks (```) so it stays formatted as code ?

Do you have ^ symbols before 0.1.0 versions for flarum packages ? Maybe they disappeared with your copy-paste ? Because if you don't have them in your source file, this means you are using Flarum beta v1, which is a log way back ! You need to make sure you run beta v6.

You can run php flarum info in your forum folder to know which version is currently running.

adriculous

clarkwinkelmann 0.1.0 beta v6

I downloaded the composer.json file from the server then copied/pasted all of that on my previous post. I didn't see any backticks or ^ in there.

clarkwinkelmann

adriculous This must be your problem. You need to add ^ in front of every dependency (except zend because that's the only one that has to stay at a precise version).

I managed to run composer install with the following: (updated from your copy-paste above)

clarkwinkelmann Hello again, so I just copy/paste this on my composer.json? Or do I install the signature extension first and then update this? I'm a bit of a noob with PHP/JSON altogether, so you would have to guide me step by step. Thank you for your help!

EDIT: I checked my file and it does have ^ on all my dependencies. For some reason, they disappeared when I copied/pasted. It looks like this: http://i.imgur.com/nTCYm6N.png

adriculous good news... And bad news because now I've no idea what's the problem ?

Given the configuration runs when I try it, it must be a problem with something else than composer.json.

You could try to delete the vendor folder and composer.lock, and run composer install to download all dependencies again. Maybe something old is logged in composer.lock and the composer.json is not read again. Ask if you need more precise instructions.

I'm pretty sure all this has nothing to do with the signature extension in particular. Maybe a mod could split the discussion to a new thread ?

PS: wanted to flag my own message for off-topic, found about I can't ?

Are you certain you're running beta 6? How long ago was it you installed the forum, and did you update it to the latest beta since then?

adriculous

clarkwinkelmann I do need more precise instructions. ?

I'm using PuTTY as I've installed this on a live server (it's for a personal project, so a few friends and myself were exploring around and checking things for bugs, etc). I had to have my host upgrade the cPanel to the latest version so Composer can be automatically installed.

EDIT: I tried installing the extension again and now it works. Rather strange. ?

luceos

Moving this to a separate issue, so the original is not cluttered with just one question.

adriculous

webeindustry I downloaded the script last week and installed it last week. I'm stuck right now, don't know what to do from this point. I would really love that signature extension on the forum.

luceos

adriculous can you trace the steps you made, because Flarum should not be installed by using a "download".

adriculous

luceos Sorry, I used the wrong wording. I installed the script (via PuTTY/Composer) per installation instructions on the live server. But before I did that, I had to have my host upgrade the cPanel to the latest version so that Composer can be automatically installed.

But, as I made an edit on my previous post, I tried installing the signature extension again earlier today and, strangely, the installation went through.
