Framework: Laravel 6 proc_open

[tomswinkels]

• Laravel Version: 6
• PHP Version: 7.3

Description:

After installing Laravel 6, i get the following error message:

The Process class relies on proc_open, which is not available on your PHP installation.

I don't have find anything in the docs about this?

I faced with the same issue when I wanted to put my Laravel 6 application on a shared host(PHP 7.2) and faced the error:

The Process class relies on proc_open, which is not available on your PHP installation.

Problem happens on /vendor/facade/ingnition/src/Middleware/AddGitInformation.php
file and when $this->command("git log --pretty=format:'%H' -n 1"); is called. I solved my problem by editing AddGitInformation.php but I guess it would be better if Laravel6 not to depend on proc_open if possible.

I think this issue related to Symfony Process package.
https://github.com/symfony/process/blob/master/CHANGELOG.md#400

For solving this issue you have to enable proc_open and proc_get_status functions in your php.
For doing so you've to edit your php.ini file, search for "disable_functions" and remove from that list proc_open and proc_get_status.

Mine actually looks like this:

disable_functions = passthru,exec,system,chroot,chgrp,chown,shell_exec,ini_alter,ini_restore,dl,readlink,symlink,popepassthru,stream_socket_server,fsocket,popen

After this edit you've to restart your php. If you aren't sure where is located your php.ini you can call php --ini and you'll see the loaded php.ini or the additional ini files loaded.

Heya, this seems to be related to Symfony and not Laravel.

It is because of Flare error reporting service enabled in debug mode
There is a workaround for this.

Publish flare config file
php artisan vendor:publish --tag=flare-config

and in config/flare.php

Set

'collect_git_information' => false 

'reporting' => [
        'anonymize_ips' => true,
        'collect_git_information' => false,
        'report_queries' => true,
        'maximum_number_of_collected_queries' => 200,
        'report_query_bindings' => true,
        'report_view_data' => true,
    ],

This is working for Php 7.2, shared hosting. thanks

Thanks a lot from Amsterdam!

[nguyenbinh23]

i did all, but my shared host still not working

[ishendyweb]

@nguyenbinh23 What is the problem now? Is it still the same exception? can you share your ./config/flare.php file?

[nguyenbinh23]

i added ./config/flare.php in my cpanel shared host, and changed it like u but still not working

[ishendyweb]

Yes. Just share more information. Like what is the current exception? and what is the code inside your flare.php ?

[nguyenbinh23]

thanks sir, i waited 30min and my website worked @@

Work for me on shared hosting and PHP 7.3

[martenkoetsier]

The solution by manukn works, but keep in mind that the configuration might be cached in /bootstrap/cache/config.php. If that file still contains a true value for flare.reporting.collect_git_information, the error remains.
Delete this cache file to remove the cache.

[estern67]

I solved this issue by deleting everything inside /bootstrap/cache

collect_git_information

doesn't work for me:

    'reporting' => [

    ],

and my bootstrap/cache is empty (I empty this after every try)

What i did is just install the laravel boilerplate
then composer update.
Then I and wanted to add this laravel-workflow
and that is the moment i get this error.

running within WSL by the way.
Any suggestions?

*** UPDATE ***
I solved it with memory clearance. closed some files etc etc
In other cases the Procopen is caused by memory flawness
works now!

Why? What have you tried so far? Can you share your flare config file?
