How to update from laravel4 beta to laravel4 stable release - laravel

I'm a laravel newb, so this might be a question most of you find stupid, but I haven't found a straight answer to this one even after several hours search. I do know how to use GIT, but I thought there might be a Laravel way to do it like many things seems to be done with artisan commands. If the update is only possible through GIT commands so have you found that you can do it without messing up the app folder where you have made your changes?
I have a quit new version of beta, only about one month old, but have worked on it already quit much.
Thanks for helping out one Laravel newb.

If you have composer install globally run:
composer update
Otherwise (locally), run:
php composer.phar update

Class 'Illuminate\Routing\ControllerServiceProvider' not found While Upgrading from Laravel 5.1 to 5.2

I have a Laravel 5.1 install that I am upgrading. I meticulously followed the instructions available at https://laravel.com/docs/5.3/upgrade#upgrade-5.2.0 for the upgrade, including removing Illuminate\Foundation\Providers\ArtisanServiceProvider and Illuminate\Routing\ControllerServiceProvider from the config/app.php file (I am stressing this point, as googling for this issue has suggested this in every response).
Despite this, I am still getting this error when I run composer cache:clear
[Symfony\Component\Debug\Exception\FatalThrowableError]
Class 'Illuminate\Routing\ControllerServiceProvider' not found error
and see this error in my browser:
FatalThrowableError in ProviderRepository.php line 146:
Class 'Illuminate\Routing\ControllerServiceProvider' not found
Thinking that perhaps references to these classes were being cached, I checked bootstrap/cache/services.json and removed the references from there as well and then ran composer dump-autoload but I am still getting this error.
I also made sure to copy over example config/app.php from Laravel 5.2 clean install example here: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ziyed/Laravel-5.2/master/vendor/laravel/framework/src/Illuminate/Foundation/ProviderRepository.php
I have read through the similar threads on StackOverflow and Laracast and tried tried to use the advice contained inside, but nothing seems to work.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. For reference, my dev setup is running on a local XAMPP stack under a Windows 10 OS. The other environments are remote, using a traditional LAMP stack with Amazon Linux 2. I was trying to do the upgrade locally.
Illuminate\Routing\ControllerServiceProvider is not present anymore.
When I recently had to upgrade the same versions as you, I had to run composer update before and after removing Illuminate\Routing\ControllerServiceProvider::class and Illuminate\Foundation\Providers\ArtisanServiceProvider::class to make it work. Also worth to mention you need to clear bootstrap/cache. It worked for me.
Edit: i noticed now you tried the last step partially as well. You can remove all php files from cache.
I am closing this question, not because I found an answer, but because continuing down this path just didn't pass a cost/benefit analysis. After upgrading to 5.2, the next upgrade would be 5.3, and the breaking changes between 5.2 to 5.3 is a lot higher than between 5.1 to 5.2. After some thought, it was obvious that the better approach would be a fresh install on my target version, and then start porting over each module in my project by copying over the views, updating the routing, and making changes to the controllers and middleware as needed.
Or just using Laravel Shift.
Thank you to everyone who chimed in with suggestions!

ConfirmPasswordController doesn't exist after upgrade from Laravel 5.8 to 6.2

I am working on a project which is in Laravel 5.8, and recently, I upgraded it to Laravel 6.0 with its packages dependencies versions too. The project was running fine. But, today, I update the composer via composer update, and it upgraded to Laravel 6.2. After that, I faced an error:
App\Http\Controllers\Auth\ConfirmPasswordController does not exist
Then I installed a fresh Laravel-6.2 and generated basic scaffolding via php artisan ui vue, then, generated login/registration scaffolding via php artisan ui vue --auth. After that, I found ConfirmPasswordController.Then, I manually created ConfirmPasswordController in my running project and copied all of the codes from ConfirmPasswordController to my manually created ConfirmPasswordController. Then, the error has gone. Although I did not face any error related to this. But, I am confused about my approach. Is it right way what I did? Or it has a better way to solve this problem. I am confused about, If I face many issues for php artisan ui vue --auth in the next time. Would someone suggest me the right process, what should I do?
Laravel made the following additions and modifications from versions v6.0.0 to v6.2.0.
A app/Http/Controllers/Auth/ConfirmPasswordController.php
M app/Http/Controllers/Auth/ForgotPasswordController.php
M app/Http/Controllers/Auth/ResetPasswordController.php
M app/Http/Kernel.php
M config/auth.php
M resources/lang/en/validation.php
Please make sure these changes are in your Laravel instance though it sounds like they now are. You can see the diff of v6.0.0 to v6.2.0 here. If you need to see v5.8.0 changes through 6.2.0, please go here.
When upgrading, you will need to copy it from https://github.com/laravel/laravel/blob/master/app/Http/Controllers/Auth/ConfirmPasswordController.php
This is known, reference https://github.com/laravel/ui/pull/36#issuecomment-539921924.

How to update CodeIgniter with Composer?

I switched from Symfony to CodeIgniter and I would like it to stay up-to-date with the framework.
I understand that you can easely install and update all kind of packages, I know how to do it as I did it over and over again with Symfony.
I already set $config['composer_autoload'] = TRUE; in application/config/config.php. (Thanks to a lot of other SO questions)
My problem: Composer seems to update all the packages fine, but not the framework itself. Is it possible or am I doomed to do it manually?
EDIT
Please consider using CodeIgniter 4, which is made to be used with Composer from the start. CodeIgniter 3 is old and should only be used on legacy projects.
You can update your codeigniter using composer by below method:
$ cd /path/to/codeigniter
$ composer update
Here you can get more info about this
CodeIgniter hasn't been made as a composer packageā€¦ except that someone eventually did it anyway!
It is possible to keep CodeIgniter up-to-date by installing it throught composer in the first place. The project is hosted on GitHub.
In order to use it, it's quite easy: composer create-project kenjis/codeigniter-composer-installer codeigniter should do the trick!

How can I download and install Laravel Framework 5

I am new in php programming and I like to install the latest version of Laravel framework on my windows os. When I trying to download Laravel through composer, I receive error like this:
Picture of error in downloading and installing Laravel 5
Where is problem? Why I can't download Laravel?
I'm so appreciate if anyone help me
And sorry for my English
Thanks guys
The error states that it can't find git. Simply installing it isn't enough. Make sure it's in your PATH variable.
Here is an answered question on how to add directories to your windows PATH:
OK guys, I downloaded git-hub and install it. I set PATH variable successfully. Now I recieved new error from composer installer:
New screenshot from new error!
What is this? :-(
It solved. My problem was network connection
Thanks to all.
Your screenshot already has the answer for you.
It says git is missing or not installed.
Make sure that git is installed properly, and try it again.
Try checking out the date and time of your computer,
make sure it is updated to your current local time and date.

How to install laravel on online website

I am new to laravel and i tryed installing it but i didn't managed to do it.I ran command prompt exactly in the folder with the files of my website and i introduced this command :
composer create-project laravel/laravel --prefer-dist
Laravel appears to be installed as every file is there so i managed to put it on my FTP(FileZila)
After that i tryed to go on mywebsite.com/laravel/ but this is what i get:
And this is what it shows me when i click on public:
Can someone please tell how to to correct this mistake ? or how to properly install laravel for my online website?
Your laravel site is in http://yourdomain.com/laravel/public/
Maybe you should install MAMP or WAMP on your own computer and try Laravel there before actually deploying it to a life server.
You're going to meet lots of issues that you might want to solve on a faster connection to your code.
I hope that you are aware that Laravel is a framework, not a CMS.
