PHP error

@Sinnbeck

Nope. I am using a dedicated server with apache-web-server.

@deicool and if you run php -v you get?

@Sinnbeck

ubuntu@ip-172-31-45-253:/var/www/html/example-app$ php -v

@deicool what about which composer

@Sinnbeck

/usr/local/bin/composer

(Composer version 2.5.1 2022-12-22 15:33:54)

@deicool now try

php /usr/local/bin/composer install

@deicool yay it worked. Not sure why composer isn't picking it up automatically though

@Sinnbeck

But I am getting the same error in browser:

Composer detected issues in your platform: Your Composer dependencies require a PHP version ">= 8.1.0".

@deicool that means that you set your webserver to use the wrong php version. Which webserver is it?

@Sinnbeck what version requires 8.2.0? Latest is 8.0.2 requirement, or what am I missing.

@jlrdw my guess is that @deicool either changes composer.json to require it, or installed a package that did

@Sinnbeck

Its apache2

Server version: Apache/2.4.41 (Ubuntu)
Server built:   2021-07-05T07:16:56

If I type the ipaddress in the browser now, I am getting:

@Sinnbeck

I haven't changed composer.json

@jlrdw

Should I change my php version to 8.0.2?

@deicool no, I was just curious about the requirement.

@deicool There are different php.ini files for cli and webserver, so my guess is that apache uses the wrong path to php and thus the php.ini.

Just create a index.php file in your document root with the following.

<?php
  phpinfo();

And then open it in your browser. It will tell you what version of php Apache is using.

@Tray2

PHP Version 8.0.26

@deicool And the dependency requires

Composer detected issues in your platform: Your Composer dependencies require a PHP version ">= 8.2.0".

So that is the problem, make sure you have the correct path in your httpd.conf file.

@Tray2

There is no httpd.conf in my apache installation. It is apache.2conf. And there is php8.2.conf, php8.2.load in mods-enabled directory.

@deicool Well check this guide anyways

https://www.howtoforge.com/tutorial/install-laravel-on-ubuntu-for-apache/

@Tray2

works. thank you.

One more question:

How do I now create a simple Controller and integrate with Laravel?

@deicool Maybe try installing it again, to see if you can get apache2 to pick it up.

sudo apt install php8.2-common

There might also be some way in apache to set which php version to use for a specific site, but I dont use apache2 myself, to I dont know how.

@Sinnbeck

I can see the following files in apache mods-enabled directory:

access_compat.load  authn_core.load  authz_user.load  deflate.load  fcgid.conf   mime.load         negotiation.load  proxy.load       rewrite.load        ssl.conf
alias.conf          authn_file.load  autoindex.conf   dir.conf      fcgid.load   mpm_prefork.conf  php8.2.conf       proxy_fcgi.load  setenvif.conf       ssl.load
alias.load          authz_core.load  autoindex.load   dir.load      filter.load  mpm_prefork.load  php8.2.load       reqtimeout.conf  setenvif.load       status.conf
auth_basic.load     authz_host.load  deflate.conf     env.load      mime.conf    negotiation.conf  proxy.conf        reqtimeout.load  socache_shmcb.load  status.load

@Sinnbeck

Nope. I have to have the webserver on my dedicated aws server. And I am not new to apache.

@deicool Ok cool. Then get apache to use the correct php version :) Maybe try google. I havent used apache2 for 4-5 years, so I cant remember much. I use nginx only now :)
