Unable to Install as per Documentation

[andrewvillano]

Followed documentation here: https://blog.rabin.io/sysadmin/laravel-lumen-informix

Still getting error message as follows:

$ composer require isoc-il/laravel-ifx:dev-master
./composer.json has been updated
Running composer update isoc-il/laravel-ifx
Loading composer repositories with package information
Updating dependencies
Your requirements could not be resolved to an installable set of packages.

Problem 1
- Root composer.json requires isoc-il/laravel-ifx dev-master -> satisfiable by isoc-il/laravel-ifx[dev-master].
- isoc-il/laravel-ifx dev-master requires illuminate/support 5.|6.|7.|8.|9.x -> found illuminate/support[v5.0.0, ..., v5.8.36, v6.0.0, ..., v6.20.44, v7.0.0, ..., v7.30.6, v8.0.0, ..., v8.83.27, v9.0.0, ..., v9.52.7] but these were not loaded, likely because it conflicts with another require.

Installation failed, reverting ./composer.json and ./composer.lock to their original content.

[rabin-io]

Probably become you are trying it with Laravel 10,
I pushed an update to master branch, give it another try.

🚨🚨🚨
Please note, that we have not tested it with Laravel 10, do I don't know if it works, I just allowed composer to be able to resolve the dependency.

I was able to get past that, however I ran into a different issue:

[andrew@villano-vm chirper]$ php artisan migrate

Just to clarify, I have PDO_INFORMIX installed.

[root@villano-vm chirper]# php -m | grep -i pdo
PDO
pdo_informix
PDO_ODBC
pdo_sqlite
[root@villano-vm chirper]#

[rabin-io]

Not sure, but you might be missing the db config file, copy the file manually to the right place, and see if it helps.

https://github.com/isoc-il/laravel-ifx/blob/master/src/config/informix.php

[andrewvillano]

vendor:publish resulted in informix.php sitting under config/. I also copied the informix [connection] to database.php.

Here is the stacktrace if it helps from logs:

I'm sorry, I don't have access to any setup which I can test this, so unless you can provide me with one, I don't have any other way to help you.

[andrewvillano]

I believe IBM has a docker container for informix. Would this help? https://hub.docker.com/r/ibmcom/informix-developer-database/

[rabin-io]

Yes, but I still will be missing other requirements, like the informix PDO which need to be compiled against the right PHP version.

[andrewvillano]

I'm using Php 8.2.6
[andrew@villano-vm ~]$ php -v
PHP 8.2.6 (cli) (built: May 9 2023 06:25:31) (NTS gcc x86_64)
Copyright (c) The PHP Group
Zend Engine v4.2.6, Copyright (c) Zend Technologies

As far as PDO_Informix:

PDO

PDO support => enabled
PDO drivers => informix, odbc, sqlite

pdo_informix

pdo_informix support => enabled
Module release => 1.3.6

PDO_ODBC

PDO Driver for ODBC (unixODBC) => enabled
ODBC Connection Pooling => Enabled, strict matching

[rabin-io]

And what do you have in your .env file?

[andrewvillano]

DB_CONNECTION=informix
DB_HOST=<hostname>
DB_SERVICE=9001
DB_DATABASE=reports_db
DB_USERNAME=db_user
DB_PASSWORD=<redacted>
DB_SERVER=ifx_instance_name

[rabin-io]

I was able to replicate your issue, but I still not sure how to solve it.
Sorry, this can take some time, as I don't have much time to invest into it.

[vlcya]

hi,

any luck figuring out the problem?

thank you!

[rabin-io]

Unfortunately no, I don't have time to debug this problem right now.

You are welcome to try, try with version 6/7 which I know for sure it worked.
once you have a working setup, try to replicate it with 8+

[wmfairuz]

Hi,

How do I get pdo_informix installed? Trying to download the Client SDK but run into some errors.

[rabin-io]

We used to compile it from source, and later on to package it as RPM
