Resolved php composer add dependencies not working

brownbag · Aug 25, 2020

I'm trying to add dependencies via php composer but it is not allowing me.
The php composer extension is installed (via plesk)

The instructions to manage php project dependencies with composer say to go to Websites & Domains -> Applications -> Manage my Applications, then click the application in the list and select 'Install Dependencies'. But instead of showing me applications that I can add as dependencies in composer, all I see is WordPress, Drupal and Joomla

This page tellls me to "Go to Websites & Domains > the domain that has the Composer application in its document root folder > PHP Composer, and then click Scan". So I do this, and I get this page, with no option to scan:

This page shows me this message: "The lock file is not up to date with the latest changes in composer.json. To get the latest dependencies, click 'Update'". But when I click update, nothing changes, and I still see the message telling me to update.

So it doesn’t seem to be working correctly. What is wrong?

Have you tried to install composer via CLI?

Have a look here

I have tried that, but had some issues with the dependent components and just in case it was composer causing the problem, I thought I'd take a different tack and install it again via the extension. There are some benefits to this, if it works. I always have the 'manual' option to go back to, but I'd like to see first if I can get it working via plesk.

I've done some more research and it seems that the composer extension doesn't install composer but just picks up each instance of composer and enables you to manage the dependencies a bit easier.
The scan process enables plesk to identify each composer.json located within httpdocs folder of current domain as a separate application. Then you manage each composer application separately by adding dependencies.
You need to install it first, which is OK as I've done that before.

I just want to install it in the best possible way.
The command to install it is :
curl -sS https://getcomposer.org/installer | /opt/plesk/php/7.3/bin/php
When I did this last time (before uninstalling and trying plesk

), it installed folder on the home directory of the account I was logged into (compleitweb), which presumably is because that is where I was when I ran the installation. Where should I run it from?

Hello,
thanks for the detailed feedback.
While using plesk the path to composer is at an 64-BIt architecture:

Code:

/usr/lib64/plesk-9.0/composer.phar

From this you can run composer to different php-versions. For example:
Composer install with php7.3:

Code:

/opt/plesk/php/7.3/bin/php /usr/lib/plesk-9.0/composer.phar install

More additional information about composer with plesk have a look here and here. At the last link have a look at the comment section, it's very revealing.

regards

Yes, that's what I read that the path would be in /usr/lib64/plesk. And I couldn't find the lib64 folder, but I just found the file /usr/lib/plesk-9.0/composer.phar.
Before I realised that it was different in plesk, I had earlier installed composer via the command line - with the following command:

Code:

.curl -sS https://getcomposer.org/installer | /opt/plesk/php/7.3/bin/php

It works but it just installs a different version of composer. So when started down the plesk route, I uninstalled it first.

I've just attempted to install composer using your instructions and I get a message,
"Composer could not find a composer.json file in /usr/lib/plesk-9.0".

Fair enough - I need a composer.json file first, and I can just create that using vi. But where do I put this file? The composer.phar has to find it, so this is obviously important.

Hello,
i searched for a solution in my test-environment.. i was able to install composer fot different php-versions but this would not help you out.
To your error-message. Looks like the libary-file of composer is missing. In the documentory of composer is discryped how you can setup one:

Basic usage - Composer

A Dependency Manager for PHP

getcomposer.org

The json file must be located in the path where you run the composer phar. For example:

Code:

server:/opt/plesk/php/7.1/bin$ php composer-setup.php
All settings correct for using Composer
Downloading...

Composer (version 1.10.10) successfully installed to: /opt/plesk/php/7.1/bin/composer.phar
Use it: php composer.phar

server:/opt/plesk/php/7.1/bin$ php composer.phar install
Composer could not find a composer.json file in /opt/plesk/php/7.1/bin

We can mark this as closed, yesterday night we fixed this issue.

The Problem was, that there were a wrongsymlink at

Code:

/usr/bin/

The link was directing to the wring php version so we've got the error

Code:

env: php: No such file or directory

However, sometimes occurs an unexpected error with some PHP modules such as composer.

We removed the smylink and replaced it with the right path from plesk

Code:

ln -s /opt/plesk/php/7.3/bin /usr/bin/php

After this we were ableto instal/run/update composer. I hopethis will help some one out who seached for an solution.

Link the php command:

Code:

sudo ln -s /usr/bin/php73 /usr/bin/php

or

Code:

ln -s /opt/plesk/php/7.3/bin /usr/bin/php

Depends on your system.

Looks like you have no php-version which shipped with the OS. Install PHP 7.3 on your system:

Code:

yum install yum-utils –y
yum install epel-release –y
yum install http://rpms.remirepo.net/enterprise/remi-release-7.rpm
yum-config-manager ––enable remi–php73
yum install php php-common php-opcache php-mcrypt php-cli php-gd php-curl php-mysql –y
php –v
