Installing Seat on Debian / composer error about seat

[warlof]

Looks a network issue.
What about your firewall ?

I've just flushed iptables but I still have the same issue

[warlof]

what are your network architecture ? something like a proxy or another firewall ?
Is iptable got a default flag equal to ACCEPT on all kind of route ?

All trafic seems allowed after flushing rules :

Chain INPUT (policy ACCEPT)
target prot opt source destination
Chain FORWARD (policy ACCEPT)
target prot opt source destination
Chain OUTPUT (policy ACCEPT)
target prot opt source destination

No further rules after those

Could you give some more details about your environment? Is this a fresh debian install? What versions etc. At best id like to try and replicate this.

In the mean time, try the following. If you cant get composer create-project to work. Run the following:

• git clone https://github.com/eveseat/seat.git
• cd seat
• composer install
• Continue with the rest of the install guide.

Thanks for your quick replies.

OS is Debian 7 x64.
As it was not a fresh install, I've created a new fresh one in VirtualBox (Debian 7.9 iso minimal with latest package)., I get the exact same issue : "Could not find package eveseat/seat with stability stable.".

Cloning the repository and running manually composer as you wrote seems to work but I'm in front of a new problem, my Php version is too old, I got 5.4.45, and > 5.5.9 is asked.

I think my OS is too old for the requirements of the latest Seat version, so I wil try another fresh Debian install in VirtualBox, but with version 8.2 this time.

Can you post the output of composer create-package eveseat/seat -vvv ?

@debian7:/var/www# composer create-package eveseat/seat -vvv

The command "composer create-project eveseat/seat seat --keep-vcs --prefer-source --no-dev" works like a charm on Debian 8.2.
I've been able to do all the installation tutorial, I'm at the seat login page, I guess all will be fine now.

So, I think updating my server OS is my solution to avoid the composer problem and to have an up to date Php version (5.6.14).

Is it possible to keep my old Seat MySql database and use it with the new version or do I need to restart from scratch ?

[leonjza]

Will investigate the Debian 7 issue.
For now, its a start from scratch, although there is a todo to create some scripts that will migrate data from SeAT 0x to 1x.

Thanks for your support, I will check the todo.

As the Php version of this OS is obsolete you should forget the Debian 7 issue and mention that Debian 8 OS is required.
It would be easier to dist-upgrade to Debian 8 instead of manually compiling an up to date Php version..
