composer update authentication on packagist

Question

I have a problem with the composer update for my project made in laravel 5. Everytime I want to update the composer with other packages (from Packagist) I get an authentication box (not suposed to be one) and then even if I input my github/packagist account or not I end like this:

Loading composer repositories with package information
Updating dependencies (including require-dev)
    Authentication required (packagist.org):
      Username:
      Password:



  [Composer\Downloader\TransportException]
  Invalid credentials for 'http://packagist.org/p/doctrine/inflector$caf0d38e
  3001eb2cbabe4192f701affcc10254307a3c01fa6b41a5579b2b648e.json', aborting.

I tried until now, to install composer after deleting vendor's folder and composer lock, but again the auth is appearing. I made another laravel project but I start with lot's of vendor folder (like doctrine inflector), and they need auth. I also tried a github token, on composer json.

Anyone knows what is the problem? Thank you in advance.

D:\Code\pricer>composer diagnose
Checking composer.json: OK
Checking platform settings: FAIL
The xdebug extension is loaded, this can slow down Composer a little.
 Disabling it when using Composer is recommended.
Checking git settings: OK
Checking http connectivity: OK
Checking github.com rate limit: OK
Checking disk free space: OK
Checking composer version: OK

I don't have problems with the rate limit for an auth and platform settings fail because of xdebug.

And when I am deleting that package and installing composer again

  Problem 1
    - laravel/framework v5.0.14 requires doctrine/inflector ~1.0 -> no matching
package found.
    - laravel/framework v5.0.14 requires doctrine/inflector ~1.0 -> no matching
package found.

Composer.json:

{
    "name": "laravel/laravel",
    "description": "The Laravel Framework.",
    "keywords": ["framework", "laravel"],
    "license": "MIT",
    "type": "project",
    "require": {
        "laravel/framework": "5.0.*",
        "illuminate/html": "5.0.*@dev",
        "doctrine/dbal": "2.6.*@dev"
    },
    "require-dev": {
        "phpunit/phpunit": "~4.0",
        "phpspec/phpspec": "~2.1"
    },
    "autoload": {
        "classmap": [
            "database"
        ],
        "psr-4": {
            "App\\": "app/"
        }
    },
    "autoload-dev": {
        "classmap": [
            "tests/TestCase.php"
        ]
    },
    "scripts": {
        "post-install-cmd": [
            "php artisan clear-compiled",
            "php artisan optimize"
        ],
        "post-update-cmd": [
            "php artisan clear-compiled",
            "php artisan optimize"
        ],
        "post-create-project-cmd": [
            "php -r \"copy('.env.example', '.env');\"",
            "php artisan key:generate"
        ]
    },
    "config": {
        "preferred-install": "dist"
    }
}

Could you show us your `composer.json`? Have you tried without `doctrine/inflector` package? What's the output if so? — Tomas Votruba, Mar 10 '15 at 09:38
Thanks. I'd try installing packages step by step (to new directory) and observe what fail and when. Just tried myself and was successful. Via console: `composer require "laravel/framework:5.0.*"`, `composer require "illuminate/html:5.0.*@dev"`, `composer require "doctrine/dbal:2.6.*@dev"` — Tomas Votruba, Mar 11 '15 at 08:18
I've tried your way buy nothing good happened. Then I removed homestead/vagrant/composer/php 5.4(wamp) and reinstalled them all with a php version 5.5.12, and now I can't even to use the composer commands [ErrorException] fopen(): Filename cannot be empty — Alxp, Mar 11 '15 at 15:51
Thank you, I'll try myself the rest, I think my computer has a problem and if it's fixed then everything will gonna be alright:d — Alxp, Mar 11 '15 at 16:06
I solved the part with the fopen(), but now it prompts me again for auth. [link to error with composer -vvv](http://pastebin.com/z5V1df3X) — Alxp, Mar 13 '15 at 10:37

I had this problem with authentication, so I ran this code:

composer config --global repo.packagist composer https://packagist.org

Then I ran the update again and it worked!

Try it yourself.

It is actually a port problem. It is unable to connect to a specific port because of blocking of ports on your system by your admin. Which is the reason why it is asking for this authentication.

Try connecting to a home network or mobile network and do the composer update. It should go smooth without asking for credentials.

Do mark it as answer if this worked for you.
