Cannot install valet plus 2.x-dev version: "Could not find installation path for: apcu_bc"

[frimipiso]

Hi,

I cannot install the valet plus 2.x-dev version on my mid 2010 mac mini with High Sierra.

I followed the original installation instructions except that I required the 2.x-dev version:

brew update
brew tap henkrehorst/php
brew install [email protected]
brew install composer
composer require weprovide/valet-plus:2.x-dev
I added the composer path
valet fix
valet install

After entering the valet install command I get the following error message:

[PECL] Updating PECL channel: pecl.php.net
[PECL] Installing extensions

In Pecl.php line 148:
                                                            
  Could not find installation path for: apcu_bc             
                                                            
  No releases available for package "pecl.php.net/apcu_bc"  
  install failed                                            
                        

I have no idea what I can do. I never had a working valet+ installation so I am not upgrading.

When I try to apply the upgrade instructions I just get the message that apcu is not installed: https://github.com/weprovide/valet-plus/blob/2.x/UPGRADE-2.0.md

So what can I do? Am I the only one having these problems?
Has anyone actually installed valet+ in the last year?
It seems to be impossible to bypass the apcu problems no matter whether I install version 1 or version 2 of valet+.

Thanks

Jens

Hi Jens,
this is a problem with the ssl-cert of the pecl.php.net site.
I fixed this with the following steps:

1. Reinstall openssl
   brew reinstall openssl

2. Link the cert.pem to the place where pecl looks for it
   ln -s /usr/local/etc/[email protected]/cert.pem /usr/local/etc/openssl/cert.pem

3. Download the missing cert for the page from https://curl.haxx.se/ca/cacert.pem and copy it into the folder
   /usr/local/etc/[email protected]/certs

4. Rehash the certs
   /usr/local/opt/[email protected]/bin/c_rehash

5. Check if it works by running the pecl update channel command

6. Move forward to install valet
   valet install

I just had this error myself and fixed it with those steps... hopefully I left nothing out. Good look!

Unfortunatly this didn't work for me..
Still getting the same error.

Thanks muckz for the hint!

But it did not work for me. I was told in another thread that Valet+ 2.x solves the apcu_bc problem,
but apparently it is still there.

After spending an enormous amount of time trying to install Valet+, I am finally giving up.
It sounded like a great idea, but apparently it is impossible for mortals like myself to install
Valet+.

Too bad, but it is time to move on ...

I will now use Mamp Pro on the Mac and Vagrant on my PC for website prototyping and debugging.

I will watch this thread but invest no more time into Valet+ until a proper up-to-date manual for
installation is available.

Thanks

Jens

I found a couple of issues I was able to work around:

Download the missing cert for the page from https://curl.haxx.se/ca/cacert.pem and copy it into the folder /usr/local/etc/[email protected]/certs

You'll need to rename cacert.pem to cert.pem

Check if it works by running the pecl update channel command

pecl channel-update pecl.php.net ` worked for me

By doing those two things I was able to get past:

Could not find installation path for: apcu_bc

No releases available for package "pecl.php.net/apcu_bc"
install failed

Now I'm stuck here :

Could not find ini definition for: apcu_bc in PHP Warning: Module 'apcu' already loaded in Unknown on line 0Warning: Module 'apcu' already loaded in Unknown on line 0/usr/local/etc/valet-php/7.2/php.ini

So with no intention of hijacking this thread I will briefly mention that I've tried with valet+ 2 and have gotten this far with barely a hiccup

Hi!

We've fixed the dependency on the deprecated APCU_BC PECL extension.

This has been merged in 2.x and will be released in version 2.0.0.

See #401 for more information.

Note: If you have an 1.0.x installation and you're moving to 2.x to fix the APCU_BC issues. Please follow the upgrade path https://github.com/weprovide/valet-plus/blob/2.x/UPGRADE-2.0.md.
