5.5.1 Upgrade failure

CTG · July 26, 2022, 7:35pm

Hello,

Having issues with the following. I upgraded to 5.5.1 from 5.4.x (latest) and am having this issue with this error message: Composer detected issues in your platform: Your Composer dependencies require a PHP version “>= 8.1.0”.

I have installed PHP 8.1 with no issues running against apache on Ubuntu. I am looking for some assistance, please.

Thanks
Jose

Hi,

What do you see if you run php -v from the command line?

CTG · July 26, 2022, 7:49pm

/var/www/html$ php -v

@david do you have any suggestions?

Stevan · July 26, 2022, 8:59pm

Does composer update fail too?

CTG · July 26, 2022, 9:03pm

Actually, I didn’t try that. Just ran it now and it does seem to fail??

Hm, I’m not sure. It does seem like it’s not using the php 8.1. I was also having problems but after upgrading to 8.1 it worked. However, my webserver has some automated stuff, so if you’re doing all manually maybe it’s that nginx still not using the updated php? Here’s a little bit more info for the manual installation: Release Annoucements - #37 by david?

CTG · July 26, 2022, 9:13pm

Thanks for the reply @Stevan. I’ve gone through that link and have validated PHP and its modules. The difference in my case is that I’m using Apache and not Nginx.

Stevan · July 26, 2022, 9:19pm

does composer -vvv about says it’s running on php 8.1 and with composer version 2?

CTG · July 26, 2022, 9:32pm

Here’s the output of “composer -vvv” Not sure what you mean about version 2?

What about composer selfupdate

Edit: If that doesn’t work, then manually replace the composer.phar with the latest version.

No luck with that. I ended up running just “composer” and it exposed the following. Judging by what’s listed, I assume the command is: “composer update”

Was composer installed with a package manager? Maybe using apt?

CTG · July 26, 2022, 11:09pm

Not sure to be honest. I ended up running composer update and it’s ran but never stopped/broke out of the upgrade.

Regarding your earlier question about getting installed by apt, do you happen to know how to validate if it was or not?

Stevan · July 26, 2022, 11:12pm

You could try apt list composer, and see if what returns ends with a “[installed]”

Stevan · July 26, 2022, 11:14pm

The update takes a while… but try first to bring the composer up-to-date.

Edit: update is not the same as self-update Docs
