help - composer error?

[miconsult]

does any of this matter with the build? It's not working after following the documentation given for ubuntu trusty.

symfony/event-dispatcher suggests installing symfony/dependency-injection ()
symfony/event-dispatcher suggests installing symfony/http-kernel ()
guzzle/guzzle suggests installing guzzlehttp/guzzle (Guzzle 5 has moved to a new package name. The package you have installed, Guzzle 3, is deprecated.)
sebastian/global-state suggests installing ext-uopz (*)
phpdocumentor/reflection-docblock suggests installing dflydev/markdown (~1.0)
phpunit/phpunit suggests installing phpunit/php-invoker (~1.1)
ramsey/uuid suggests installing ext-uuid (Provides the PECL UUID extension for use with the PeclUuidTimeGenerator and PeclUuidRandomGenerator)
ramsey/uuid suggests installing ramsey/uuid-doctrine (Allows the use of Ramsey\Uuid\Uuid as Doctrine field type.)
intervention/image suggests installing ext-imagick (to use Imagick based image processing.)
intervention/image suggests installing intervention/imagecache (Caching extension for the Intervention Image library)

The web server comes up with this however the button doesn't work? Am I missing something?

web developer tools using firefox 38 gives the following errors:
The stylesheet http://midas/index.php/core/public/css/install/install.css was not loaded because its MIME type, "text/html", is not "text/css".
Use of getPreventDefault() is deprecated. Use defaultPrevented instead.

Using chrome as the debugger comes up with this error:

GET http://midas/user/login 404 (Not Found)send @ jquery.js:2v.extend.ajax @ jquery.js:2(anonymous function) @ midas.dialog.js:102r.complete @ jquery.js:2l @ jquery.js:2c.fireWith @ jquery.js:2Kn.a @ jquery.js:2v.fx.tick @ jquery.js:2

There is no composer error; those messages are normal.

[jamiesnape]

The stylesheet error looks like an error with your server configuration.

[jamiesnape]

Can you try installing using https?

[miconsult]

http.
where are the docs for https?
I have followed the instructions on readthedocs.org I can't reference to this.

with respect to the composer "suggestions" above in the original question, how would I go about resolving them? Is there other more in-depth documentation where I could trouble shoot the install?

[jamiesnape]

There is nothing to resolve regarding the composer suggestions. They are neither warnings nor errors.

[jamiesnape]

You would need to consult documentation for the server you are using. If it is not something with which you are familiar, stick with the HTTP and I will think of some other way to troubleshoot.

[miconsult]

should I have composed using the composer --no-dist option?

[jamiesnape]

No. Your composer install is fine as far as I can tell.

[miconsult]

when I hover over the core folder description in git, it referecences that it only supports the no-dist option

[jamiesnape]

--no-dev. No, that only applies to PHP 5.3. Assuming you are using CentOS, you would have PHP 5.4. In either case it would not cause an installation problem, though.

[miconsult]

Ok. I have taken to installing it onto a Linux mint 17.2 VM (Ubuntu instructions). Still no dice, php 5.5.9. It won't advance from the install page. Do I need to add a DB user?

The following Midas generated code is around the install input button. Should it have an action? What php page does it submit to?

<form method="post" action=""><input type="submit" name="submit" value="Go to next step"></form>

[miconsult]

Ok I have sorted this component of the install now. Turns out it was a permissions issue with core/config
