I am attempting to create a cake PHP application on OSX 10.10 using the following command:

php /usr/local/bin/composer.phar create-project --prefer-dist cakephp/app testapp

When I do I am getting the following error:

Your requirements could not be resolved to an installable set of packages.

Problem 1

I have installed the intl extension via pear/pecl but still continue to get this error.

Please someone restore my faith in PHP.

You might have to run php5enmod intl to activate the PHP5 module. Otherwise, check if you have installed intl to the right PHP installation on OS X: there is a standard OS X one, but if you have installed a PHP version beside the OS X version, check if you have the right PHP in your $PATH variable.

  • How do I find out where pear is installing extensions and where composer is looking for them? – user1901469 Apr 18 '15 at 15:25
  • The extensions should be in `/usr/share/php/{extension}`. To my knowledge, Composer uses your global `php` and `php.ini` to check for extensions, which I why you need to check if your `$PATH` is running the right PHP executable. – jbehrens94 Apr 18 '15 at 15:33
  • So when I look at the /usr/share/php dir the only folder is called 'fpm' and contains a file called status.html... How do I change the default to use this one – user1901469 Apr 18 '15 at 15:46
