Laravel installing dependencies

Laravel

For a fresh laravel app and deployment I keep getting stuck at installing dependencies which have worked just fine yesterday.

It shouldnt be on my side since I have no changes within laravel app. Just a fresh app. But I may be wrong? :smiley:

#2

Iā€™m not too familiar with this error but will look into it. Is a compatible version of PHP being used for the app?

#3

There are some similar errors here around php 8.0 - php 8.1 - PHP is not working after updating to PHP 8.1 RC5 - Stack Overflow

#4

apt upgrade and service php8ā€¦ restart did it as you said on phpmyadmin post

btw - looks like the apt php maintainers fixed the PHP package so the above fix should no longer be necessary
