Laravel 4 - Error while running `composer install`

Question

The problem:

I have installed Composer and followed the Quick start guide in the Laravel 4 documentation.

I get the following error when I run composer

Answer 1

Having the setting xdebug.scream = 1 in the configuration was the cause of the problem for me. I fixed it by doing the following:

1. Find XDebug configuration file.

   $ sudo find / -name xdebug.ini
   

2. Edit file using any text editor.

   $ sudo vi /your_path/xdebug.ini
   

3. Set xdebug.scream = 0

4. Reload the server (Apache/Nginx/whatever).

   $ sudo service nginx reload
