PHP Composer doesnt work on ec2 linux instance after stp transfer

I have a php project that was running on xampp but i created an ec2 instance with linux and i access it with his private ip on putty because the web app is supposed to be accessible just via intranet. i used stp to move the whole project, everything works the same but the composer on some php files give me that error( i got it from apache log)

PHP Fatal error:  Uncaught Error: Failed opening required '/var/www/html/host/public_html/vendor/composer/../ezyang/htmlpurifier/library/HTMLPurifier.composer.php' (include_path='.:/usr/share/php') in /var/www/html/host/public_html/vendor/composer/autoload_real.php:41\nStack trace:\n#0 /var/www/html/host/public_html/vendor/composer/autoload_real.php(45): {closure}()\n#1 /var/www/html/host/public_html/vendor/autoload.php(25): ComposerAutoloaderInitc3b80a39a0d2307602d3e5706c8f19a8::getLoader()\n#2 /var/www/html/host/public_html/accessdata.php(18): require('...')\n#3 {main}\n  thrown in /var/www/html/host/public_html/vendor/composer/autoload_real.php on line 41, referer: http://host/page1.php

i use composer to use the phpoffice, the user should be able to upload some excel files then using php i upload them on a database

EDIT: when running composer install i get this error Failed to download myclabs/php-enum from dist: curl error 28 while downloading https://api.github.com/repos/myclabs/php-enum/zipball/a867478eae49c9f59ece437ae7f9506bfaa27483: Connection timeout after 10001 ms

Solution

  • You have a serious misunderstanding that should be put out of the way right from the beginning:

    • If your box has no internet access, you will have little joy with running Composer commands that actually need the internet to fulfill the task you are calling them for.
      • For example the "composer update" command you want to run without internet access.
    • Composer does no wonders and creates internet access out of no internet access.
    • If you not yet see, why this is actually of little surprise, then it must be the serious misunderstanding you have both on Composer and the fundamental difference between Wide Area Network (WAN) and Local Area Network (LAN).
    • The best place is localhost btw. Your home is your castle.

    So you have certainly a relationship problem in your Composer marriage.

    Composer therapist Nico Haase already commented, "You don't need to install Composer on any production system" and if you're looking for a second opinion, I second that. I actually would say, if you're installing Composer on a production system you're asking for trouble, problems, broken hearts (and dependencies).

    You write it your own:

    i [sic!] uploaded from local copy, i dont [sic!] have internet access on the server

    So, build the vendor folder locally with Composer, then upload the whole application code (including the vendor directory). Done.

    Yes, done.

    Machine working again.

    And they lived long and happily.
