Lavavel & PHP versions:
Laravel: 7
PHP: 7.4.30
I am trying to install pbmedia/laravel-ffmpeg package using composer like so:
composer require pbmedia/laravel-ffmpeg
On the first try the error message was this:
Problem 1
- pbmedia/laravel-ffmpeg[7.8.0, ..., 7.x-dev] require league/flysystem ^1.1.4 -> found league/flysystem[1.1.4, ..., 1.x-dev] but the package is fixed to 1.0.69 (lock file version) by a partial update and that version does not match. Make sure you list it as an argument for the update command.
So I tried upgrading league/flysystem:
composer update league/flysystem
But after trying to install pbmedia/laravel-ffmpeg the error message changed to this:
Problem 1
- pbmedia/laravel-ffmpeg[7.8.0, ..., 7.x-dev] require illuminate/bus ^8.67 -> found illuminate/bus[v8.67.0, ..., 8.x-dev] but these were not loaded, likely because it conflicts with another require.
How do I fix this error? I tried installing illuminate/bus:
composer require illuminate/bus ^8.67
But it gave:
Root composer.json requires illuminate/bus ^8.67, found illuminate/bus[v8.67.0, ..., 8.x-dev] but these were not loaded, likely because it conflicts with another require.
After running why-not:
% composer why-not illuminate/bus ^8.67
andrey-helldar/laravel-app v1.0.1 requires illuminate/console (^6.0|^7.0)
andrey-helldar/laravel-app v1.0.1 requires illuminate/filesystem (^6.0|^7.0)
andrey-helldar/laravel-app v1.0.1 requires illuminate/support (^6.0|^7.0)
kreait/laravel-firebase 2.2.0 requires illuminate/contracts (^5.8|^6.0|^7.0)
kreait/laravel-firebase 2.2.0 requires illuminate/support (^5.8|^6.0|^7.0)
laravel/socialite v4.4.1 requires illuminate/http (~5.7.0|~5.8.0|^6.0|^7.0)
laravel/socialite v4.4.1 requires illuminate/support (~5.7.0|~5.8.0|^6.0|^7.0)
illuminate/bus v8.83.24 requires illuminate/contracts (^8.0)
herazika/server dev-master requires laravel/framework (^7.0)
illuminate/bus v8.83.24 requires illuminate/pipeline (^8.0)
illuminate/bus v8.83.24 requires illuminate/support (^8.0)
As you can see from the why-not result output, many of the packages you currently use are not ready for Laravel v8, like andrey-helldar/laravel-app (which, in the currently used version v1.0.1, is three years old!) or herazika/server (which isn't even avaliable on Packagist). On the other hand, illuminate/bus ^8.67 explicitly requires Laravel v8
Installing the package using composer require pbmedia/laravel-ffmpeg "7.5.*" could help. That's one of the versions that is still compatible with Laravel v7. Otherwise, try to update your packages first - some of them are way too old to be compatible with any new package you want to use
