Unable to install log4php using composer

Question

I'm trying to deploy my PHP webapp on my ubuntu server. running composer install ends with the following exception:

  [RuntimeException]

  fatal: repository 'https://git-wip-us.apache.org/repos/asf/logging-log4php.git/' not found  

I've tried to add explicit repositories to the composer.json as below still with out any progress

"repositories": [
  {
    "type": "vcs",
    "url": "https://github.com/apache/logging-log4php"
  }
],
"require": {
  "apache/log4php": "2.3.0",
  "phpmailer/phpmailer": "~6.0"
}

What am I missing?

Answer 1

They've just migrated.

After you correct link to repository, do not forget to recreate your composer.lock file. Probably the simplest way is to delete it and run composer install

Answer 2

Create a composer.json file with the following content:

{
    "require": {
        "apache/log4php": "^2.3.0"
    }
}

Run the Composer install procedure:

php composer.phar install

This will install Apache log4php in vendor/apache/log4php.

To use log4php simply include vendor/autoload.php in your script.

require 'vendor/autoload.php';
$log = Logger::getLogger("default");
$log->info("Hello !!");
