Difficulty installing Laravel 4 and phpmyadmin on an amazon EC2 instance - amazon-ec2

So, I installed Laravel 4 on an amazon EC2 instance by following this tutorial:
Basically, my steps included:
———- Installing Apache ———-
$ sudo apt-get install apache2
———- Installing PHP ———-
$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ondrej/php5
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install php5 libapache2-mod-php5
———- Installing PHP Mcrypt ext. ———-
$ sudo apt-get install php5-mcrypt
———- Installing MYSQL ———-
$sudo apt-get install mysql-server
———- Installing GIT ———-
$ sudo apt-get install git-core
———- Laravel GIT Repo ———-
sudo su
mkdir laravel
cd laravel/
git clone https://github.com/laravel/laravel.git
———- Installing Composer ———-
curl -sS https://getcomposer.org/installer | php
php composer.phar install
Now, I am trying to install phpmyadmin on the EC2 instance, and I am at a loss on how to go about doing it. I am a newbie
So should I install it in the laravel folder?
I have tried this:
downloading the phpmyadmin file
sudo wget http://sourceforge.net/projects/phpmyadmin/files/phpMyAdmin/3.3.9.1/phpMyAdmin-3.3.9.1-all-languages.tar.gz
unzipping
tar -jxf phpMyAdmin-3.4.1-all-languages.tar.bz2
renaming
mv phpMyAdmin-3.4.1-all-languages phpmyadmin
Obviously it is not done, and I dont think I am doing this at the right folder. Please help anyone?

PhpMyAdmin has nothing to do with Laravel and isn't required at all; you can manage your MySQL database using the command line client, the MySQL workbench or PHPMyAdmin running on a remote computer (assuming it can connect to your DB running on your EC2 instance).
I would recommend not installing PHPMyAdmin as it's always a target for vulnerability scanners and can be vulnerable (plus it's one more thing to keep up to date).
If you still want to use it then extract its tar file somewhere else (not in Laravel's directory), and then change your Apache configuration to redirect something like "/pma" or "/phpmyadmin" to that directory.
If you're using Ubuntu, then you can just install PhpMyAdmin with the package manager, with this command :
sudo apt-get install phpmyadmin
Just follow the instructions, enter your MySQL root password when asked and that's it, your Apache configuration will be updated automatically, and then you can access it on http://server/phpmyadmin.
See the PhpMyAdmin article in the Ubuntu documentation.

Question about laravel installation to laravel team members [duplicate]

When I run a composer update I get this error message:
Loading composer repositories with package information
Updating dependencies (including require-dev)
Failed to download psr/log from dist: The zip extension and unzip command are both missing, skipping.
The php.ini used by your command-line PHP is: /etc/php/7.0/cli/php.ini
Now trying to download from source
What do I need to do to enable the zip and unzip commands so that composer can download dependencies?
Depending on your flavour of Linux and PHP version these may vary.
(sudo) yum install zip unzip php-zip
(sudo) apt install zip unzip php-zip
This is a very commonly asked question, you'll be able to find more useful info in the aether by searching <distro> php <version> zip extension.
For servers with PHP 5.6
sudo apt-get install zip unzip php5.6-zip
Not to belabor the point, but if you are working in a Dockerfile, you would solve this particular issue with Composer by installing the unzip utility. Below is an example using the official PHP image to install unzip and the zip PHP extension for good measure.
FROM php:7.4-apache
# Install Composer
COPY --from=composer /usr/bin/composer /usr/bin/composer
# Install unzip utility and libs needed by zip PHP extension
RUN apt-get update && apt-get install -y \
zlib1g-dev \
libzip-dev \
unzip
RUN docker-php-ext-install zip
This is a helpful GitHub issue where the above is lovingly lifted from.
For Debian Jessie (which is the current default for the PHP image on Docker Hub):
apt-get install --yes zip unzip php-pclzip
You can omit the --yes, but it's useful when you're RUN-ing it in a Dockerfile.
For older Ubuntu distros i.e 16.04, 14.04, 12.04 etc
sudo apt-get install zip unzip php7.0-zip
I had PHP7.2 on a Ubuntu 16.04 server and it solved my problem:
sudo apt-get install zip unzip php-zip
Update
Tried this for Ubuntu 18.04 and worked as well.
I'm Using Ubuntu and with the following command worked
apt-get install --yes zip unzip
In case you're using a locale development environment like XAMPP, just locate the php.ini file (C:\xampp\php in my case), open it and remove the semicolon from the following line.
;extension=zip
Restart your Apache webserver and it will work fine.
On docker with image php:7.2-apache I just needed zip and unzip. No need for php-zip :
apt-get install zip unzip
or Dockerfile
RUN ["apt-get", "update"]
RUN ["apt-get", "install", "-y", "zip"]
RUN ["apt-get", "install", "-y", "unzip"]
If you are using Ubuntu and PHP 7.2, use this...
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install zip unzip php7.2-zip
I got this error when I installed Laravel 5.5 on my digitalocean cloud server (Ubuntu 18.04 and PHP 7.2) and the following command fixed it.
sudo apt install zip unzip php7.2-zip
For PHP8.2 (Windows)
As stated here: https://www.php.net/manual/en/zip.installation.php#zip.installation.new.windows
As of PHP 8.2.0, php_zip.dll DLL must be enabled in php.ini. Previously, this extension was built-in.
You will need to manually enable this extension within your php.ini by adding extension=php_zip.dll
For a list of installed extensions you can run:
php -m
or if you have grep installed even easier would be:
php -m | grep "zip"
Actually composer nowadays seems to work without the zip command line command, so installing php-zip should be enough --- BUT it would display a warning:
As there is no 'unzip' command installed zip files are being unpacked using the
PHP zip extension.
This may cause invalid reports of corrupted archives. Installing 'unzip' may
remediate them.
See also Is there a problem with using php-zip (composer warns about it)
PHP-ZIP needs some dependancies or library missing, depends on the image from Dockerfile you need to install them first
RUN set -eux \
&& apt-get update \
&& apt-get install -y libzip-dev zlib1g-dev \
&& docker-php-ext-install zip
PHP 8.1
apt-get install --yes zip
The shortest command to fix it on Debian and Ubuntu (dependencies will be installed automatically):
sudo apt install php-zip
Try this for PHP 7.4:
sudo apt-get install zip unzip php7.4-zip
And for PHP 8.0:
sudo apt-get install zip unzip php8.0-zip
After run
apt install php-zip
and run again
composer require ...
I get the next warning and suggestion
As there is no 'unzip' nor '7z' command installed zip files are being unpacked using the PHP zip extension.
This may cause invalid reports of corrupted archives. Besides, any UNIX permissions (e.g. executable) defined in the archives will be lost.
Installing 'unzip' or '7z' (21.01+) may remediate them.
As there is no 'unzip' nor '7z' command installed zip files are being unpacked using the PHP zip extension.
This may cause invalid reports of corrupted archives. Besides, any UNIX permissions (e.g. executable) defined in the archives will be lost.
Installing 'unzip' or '7z' (21.01+) may remediate them.
So I suggest install unzip first.
apt install unzip
Please check your composer status first
composer diagnose
If the status showing
zip: extension not found, unzip not available, 7-Zip not available
then
Open your XAMPP Server
Apache -> config button ->Click "PHP(php.ini)"
Find "zip"
";extension = zip will shown
Remove the semicolon and save the file
Restart your XAMPP Apache
Now
composer create-project laravel/laravel <<project_name>>
or
laravel new <<project_name>>
apt-get install zip
I'm running a docker container and this helped me
docker-compose exec app apt-get install zip
install 7 zip from this site https://www.7-zip.org/download.html this software unzips the files for you and solvesd the errors

Mariadb installation on Amazon linux 2

Can someone provide steps to install mariadb on amazon linux 2?
I am pretty new in linux, so a little detail will be greatly appreciated. I have seen few links to install maria db on centOs but not sure if the same works for Amazon linux 2
If you use sudo yum install mariadb You'll get MariaDB version 5.5 which is an older version of MariaDB to get the latest version you will need to do the following.
sudo amazon-linux-extras enable lamp-mariadb10.2-php7.2=latest
sudo yum install mariadb mariadb-server
Note This will not work if you have php >= 7.3. If this is the case you must uninstall php before doing the steps above, using sudo yum erase php-common
sudo amazon-linux-extras disable lamp-mariadb10.2-php7.2=latest
Now mariadb is installed. I first tried to add centos 7 repo, but wasn't successful in getting it to install correctly.
Here you go:
Install and Start MariaDB
sudo yum update -y
sudo yum install -y mariadb-server
sudo systemctl start mariadb
sudo systemctl enable mariadb
Secure DB server. Select the relevant option's during command run.
sudo mysql_secure_installation
But I recommend you to install MariaDB from official repo for latest version by following instructions in this link.

How to Install / Uninstall Laravel Supervisor (supervisorctl)?

I'm using Laravel homestead for dev, but my QA server is on Amazon Linux. Which is CentOS-7 based.
I have installed Supervisor on my Dev the way it is said on Laravel docs
sudo apt-get install supervisor
And now I'm stack.
It does not say how to uninstall it, and it does not say how to install it on Amazon Linux.
How to Uninstall Laravel Supervisor from Homestead?
And how to install/uninstall it on Amazon Linux?
If you installed it with apt-get then you should be able to remove it with the same package manager.
https://askubuntu.com/a/1144
E.g. with one of the following commands:
sudo apt-get remove supervisor # remove the package
sudo apt-get purge supervisor # remove the package and all configs
As for CentOS, try it with yum
yum install supervisor
yum remove supervisor

Remove composer

I installed composer while trying to install cakePhp, but the installation was not successful and I want to uninstall composer.
I am not finding any way to do this.
For the installation I used the command curl -s https://getcomposer.org/installer | php
I am working in linux
During the installation you got a message
Composer successfully installed to: ... this indicates where Composer was installed. But you might also search for the file composer.phar on your system.
Then simply:
Delete the file composer.phar.
Delete the Cache Folder:
Linux: /home/<user>/.composer
Windows: C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Composer
That's it.
Uninstall composer
To remove just composer package itself from Ubuntu 16.04 (Xenial Xerus) execute on terminal:
sudo apt-get remove composer
Uninstall composer and it's dependent packages
To remove the composer package and any other dependant package which are no longer needed from Ubuntu Xenial.
sudo apt-get remove --auto-remove composer
Purging composer
If you also want to delete configuration and/or data files of composer from Ubuntu Xenial then this will work:
sudo apt-get purge composer
To delete configuration and/or data files of composer and it's dependencies from Ubuntu Xenial then execute:
sudo apt-get purge --auto-remove composer
https://www.howtoinstall.co/en/ubuntu/xenial/composer?action=remove
Additional information about removing/uninstalling composer
Answers above did not help me, but what did help me is removing:
~/.cache/composer
~/.local/share/composer
~/.config/composer
Hope this helps.
If you install the composer as global on Ubuntu, you just need to find the composer location.
Use command
type composer
or
where composer
For Mac users, use command:
which composer
and then just remove the folder using rm command.
curl -sS https://getcomposer.org/installer | sudo php
sudo mv composer.phar /usr/local/bin/composer
export PATH="$HOME/.composer/vendor/bin:$PATH"
If you have installed by this way simply
Delete composer.phar from where you've putted it.
In this case path will be /usr/local/bin/composer
Run this command
sudo rm /usr/local/bin/composer/composer.phar
Note: There is no need to delete the exported path.
Find the Location of the Composer by typing this command
whereis composer
Then You will get the output like this
composer: /usr/local/bin/composer
then cd /usr/local/bin/
then remove composer by this command
sudo rm -r composer
