I've been following this tutorial to try to install the PHP MongoDB extension but unfortunately haven't been able to get it working.
http://www.marcwitteveen.com/tech/mac/installing-mongodb-on-a-mac-so-you-can-access-it-with-php/
I can access the collections in the terminal, the database is properly installed but I didn't manage to get the extension working.
I have the following problem:
Sinan-MBP:mongo-php-driver-master Sinan$ cd
Sinan-MBP:~ Sinan$ sudo pecl install mongo
pecl/mongo is already installed and is the same as the released version 1.4.1
install failed
I've been trying several times so that's probably why I get this message. However, even after adding "extension=mongo.so" to the php.ini, I can't use MongoDB in my PHP code.
Thank you for your help.
This is likely a case of modifying the wrong php.ini for the environment, or PHP not being able to find the mongo.so in its directory. If you have separate php.ini files for CLI and web environments, PECL might have installed the compiled extension to a different directory.
If you run through the installation docs, there are instructions for grepping extension_dir from php -i and ensuring that mongo.so is present in that directory. If your web environment has a separate php.ini file, then grepping output from php -i likely won't help. You may need to view phpinfo(); output through your web server and check for the extension directory there.
One additional test that PECL installation succeeded would be attempting to view reflection information for one of the driver classes from the CLI environment. You can do so with php --rc MongoClient, which should print info on the methods of the MongoClient class.
I don't know why it was not working but I found a workaround late last night.
I uninstalled the php extension and then installed it again and made sure the extension was loaded in the php.ini
sudo pecl uninstall mongo
sudo pecl install mongo

Short version
I'm getting this error, when I run php artisan serve and visit my home page:
ReflectionException (-1)
Class setEventDispatcher does not exist
Details
Laravel version: 5.6.39
Environment: local
OS: macOS Mojave 10.14.2
It started, when I got an error using npm (in another project), so I reinstalled Node (this way).
After doing that, then this project (in question) couldn't be started. I was getting this error, when running php artisan serve:
dyld: Library not loaded: /usr/local/lib/libpng16.16.dylib with anything php related
Referenced from: /usr/local/bin/php
Reason: image not found
That error was resolved by updating and upgrading brew.
Then I was capable of starting the project (php artisan serve). But when I visit the home page, this error was shown:
ReflectionException (-1)
Class setEventDispatcher does not exist
If I follow the stack trace, then I can see that it was this line (from my homeController) that triggered the error:
if( ! Auth::check() ){
return view( 'pages.home' );
}
If I commented that out, then the same error occured from another place, where the Auth-module was being used.
Here's the stack trace:
Does anyone know how to resolve this? I can't find any promising results on Google, - and I have no idea why this happens... :-/
Addition1
I tried composer clear-cache and deleting the vendor-folder, and then doing a composer install and the problem still occured.
I also checked my Service Providers, as Marcus suggested, - but I don't really know what to look for in there. It all looks pretty regular (no fancy if-statements or anything).
Addition2
I realized, that I couldn't connect to my database using Sequel Pro. And it was because Brew had updated my MySQL-version from 5.5 to 8.0.
That was resolved by doing something along these lines (I did a bunch of stuff, so I might be missing a coulple of steps):
brew unlink mysql
brew install mysql#5.7
brew switch mysql 5.7.21
brew link mysql
and I could then verify the version with mysql --version. I also had some permission issues with that MySQL-version-change, but I'm emitting that, so this doesn't get too long.
Addition3
I tried disabling the Laravel Debugbar (by deleting it from composer.json, deleting composer.lock and vendor and then running composer install). And that fixed it!! ... But!
When I later tried to install Barryvdh's IDE Helper, then the exact same error came back!?
I performed these three steps, to install the IDE Helper (and re-introduce the error):
Run this command from the root of my directory: curl https://gist.githubusercontent.com/barryvdh/5227822/raw/4be028a27c4ec782965bb8f2fdcb4c08c71a441d/_ide_helper.php -o _ide_helper.php
Add these lines to app/Provider/AppServiceProvider.php:
...
if ($this->app->environment() !== 'production') {
$this->app->register(\Barryvdh\LaravelIdeHelper\IdeHelperServiceProvider::class);
}
Run this command: composer require --dev barryvdh/laravel-ide-helper
So I'm back at this error:
ReflectionException (-1)
Class setEventDispatcher does not exist
... The stack trace is identical to the one shown previously (sprung from Container.php).
Tried every solution, none of them worked.
Finally, i realised that when trying to upgrade php to 7.3.3 it was infact a network error that caused the fail. Read the logs, tried again, restarted valet and tried again.
It works now.
Upgrading to 7.3.3 was the solution indeed.
Thank you!
So this is what usually fixes it for me
Reinstall composer dependencies by removing vendor folder and composer.lock. Then run composer clear-cache and then composer install (this is usually the problem)
Check that all service providers are imported correctly in app.php under directory config
Make sure that your service providers are not importing something that does not exist, for example if you register a service provider in production but is only installed as dev:
if (env('APP_DEBUG')) {
$app->register(Barryvdh\Debugbar\LumenServiceProvider::class);
}
If you use valet, I solved it running
valet restart and all works fine.
cheers!
The fix for me was to update PHP to 7.3.3 and then restart valet. Apparently this was a bug with php 7.3

Hope this helps
I got some idea... I've just run into this problem after reconfiguring my apache virtual host ports, so I restarted apache/httpd again, and the problem went away. Might it be related with the server environment?
I am facing the same issue in mac book pro. My system configuration is PHP 7.3, MySQl and I use SQL Pro. I have implemented all the above methods but nothing gets worked.
The issue is still a mystery for me but for temporary I have solved this issue using
artisan command as bellow.
php artisan serve
Its Allow me to run the project on http://localhost:8000
Hope this can help to solve this issue.
Try to restart PHP. When I reboot my Mac, then this happens. After restarting PHP everything starts to work.
sudo brew services restart nginx
I have read How to enable PHP's openssl extension to install Composer? and You must enable the openssl extension to download files via https
They both state that the php file needs to uncomment extension=php_openssl.dll from the php.ini files which live in both these folders:
C:\wamp64\bin\apache\apache2.4.17
C:\wamp64\bin\php\php7.0.0
C:\wamp64\bin\php\php5.6.16 ' I don't think I need to, but did it any way
I've done that, and then restarted the PC.
WAMP is running on my Windows 10 machine
The same error always shows when trying to install Composer
Some settings on your machine make Composer unable to work properly.
Make sure that you fix the issues listed below and run this script again:
The openssl extension is missing, which means that secure HTTPS transfers are impossible.
If possible you should enable it or recompile php with --with-openssl
What do I need to do to install Composer?
Edit
From C:\PHP (the PHP folder) I started a command prompt and ran php -r "phpinfo();"
In the results, there is the following:
OpenSSL support => disabled (install ext/openssl)
I have followed http://php.net/manual/en/faq.installation.php#faq.installation.addtopath
You have multiple version of PHP installed:
C:\wamp64\bin\php\php7.0.0
C:\wamp64\bin\php\php5.6.16
C:\PHP
The PHP version, which you run on the CLI is based on your environment PATH variable. The first PHP path wins.
run php --ini on the CLI. It will show you which php.ini is included and also the path of PHP
edit this php.ini file and activate the extension=php_openssl.dll
then run php -m to check, if the extension is loaded
then run composer
I loaded up Laravel/Lumen on the new Homestead php7 box and encountered this error:
FatalThrowableError in MemcachedConnector.php line 51:
Fatal error: Class 'Memcached' not found
Doing a phpinfo(); shows there is no memcached extension, but sudo service memcached status says memcached is running. It seems there is a php7 branch for memcached here: https://github.com/php-memcached-dev/php-memcached/tree/php7
Can anyone guide me on how to get it working in the new php7 Homestead VM?
EDIT: I just saw on the homestead install documentation that it says "Memcached (PHP 5.x Only)". Question still remains on how to get it working.
The work on php-memcached for PHP7 is not yet complete, not all tests pass; You can use everything but JSON serialization, I think.
There is no pecl support for PHP7, so right now you need to install extensions manually, like this:
git clone https://github.com/php-memcached-dev/php-memcached
cd php-memcached
git checkout php7
phpize
./configure
make
sudo make install
You must make sure that phpize is the PHP7 version. Additionally, if the php in your PATH is not PHP7, then the php-config in your PATH is not either, in this case you must pass --with-php-config=/absolute/path/to/php7-config to ./configure.
I have the same problem, but on Windows when using XAMPP. It seems memcached works for now with PHP 5+ only.
The problem for Windows users is to find the right .dll file named
php_memcache.dll (x86/x64 platforms).
I've spent hours looking for a solution, but nothing found. The very fresh description how to use memcached is here:
HOW TO: Install Memcache on XAMPP (Windows 7/8/10)
We still have to wait for PHP7+ implementation.
I've got a client on a shared hosting environment (which I can't change) and I'm needing to install the Parse PHP SDK, but the host won't allow me to install the Composer package manager. Does anyone else know of a manual install method?
If you have wget/unzip available, just download latest release zip (bellow the release, this file).
Use unzip to unpack package and load it with PSR-4 autoloading (the composer's approach).
Composer isn't meant to be an installer, so you are not expected to run Composer on the production machine. What would happen if during your update process Github would be down? No new website version! And maybe also no old version.
Run Composer somewhere else, and then upload the result to the server, after you verified that everything went well.
I searched the net, I followed the instructions to solve this problem but I could not solve it,
when I want to use Laravel php artisian it gives errors like this:
Laravel requires php Mcrypt extenstion.
Note: I am using MAMP in Mac
please give example and solution for mac with MAMP.
I had a similar issue on Ubuntu 12.04. What version of PHP are you running and does Mcrypt show up as active when you run:
<?php
phpinfo()?
?>
It's quite possible that your command-line PHP isn't the same that MAMP is using, but rather the one that came with OSX. To find out, you can open your terminal and type php -i | grep php.ini, which will show you what ini file you're using.
If this is the case, which seems likely, you can follow the steps of older SO posts such as this one to create a symlink or overwrite the default PHP.
Alternatively, you can upgrade your system's PHP using Homebrew, for instance. I'm running 5.5.8 on my Macs, and it's working great. Do note that I do not necessarily recommend this, though, as configuring MAMP to use the new version isn't a fun experience. Also note that if you do this, you'll have to install both PHP and Mcrypt through Homebrew.
