Override PHP Path

[zeroedin]

I am trying to run the composer:install_executable task, however the path to php is incorrect as it is in a custom on my server and does not respond to just php for multiple version installs. is there a way to override :php in deploy.rb or deploy/environment.rb?

I've tried neither work:

SSHKit.config.command_map[:php] = '/path/to/php/bin/php'
set :php, '/path/to/php/bin/php'

Line 17 composer.rake

execute :curl, "-s", fetch(:composer_download_url), "|", :php, composer_version_option

Should :php possibly be fetch(:php) much like the :composer_download_url?

Or am I just doing it wrong?

fetch is only for variables set with set.

Overriding it in the command map should be what you want. However I'm wondering if since :php isn't the first argument under execute that it isn't retrieved from the command map.

In which case I'm not exactly sure what the solution without searching yet.

SSHKit/Capistrano only looks up the first argument to execute in the command map which explains this behaviour. What you can do update your PATH env variable in the stage config. Something like this:

fetch(:default_env).merge!(PATH: '$PATH:/path/to/php5')

I'm attempting this now, hoping to get capistrano working on my shared hosting environment.

The last line of my deploy/staging.rb looks like:

fetch(:default_env).merge!(PATH: '$PATH:/usr/bin/php5.5-cli')

Even though it registers (at least it displays in the output of cap staging deploy ) it's still trying to run composer.phar install with an outdated version of php. I've already tried aliasing php in _bashprofile and bashrc, which is what brought me here. Am I missing something?

Ah, didn't realize I could include the version of php in the composer variable. These settings (from here) fixed it...

SSHKit.config.command_map[:bash] = "/bin/bash"
SSHKit.config.command_map[:composer] = "/usr/bin/php5.5-cli /home2/path/to/composer.phar"

@rob-gordon That's work! Thank you!
