Laravel 4 Artisan not working at all
composer-php, laravel, laravel-4, php
Solution
To summarise the discussion in the comments, we discovered that adding logging at the `php.ini` level revealed a PHP error that was not reported by the Composer console interface. I wonder whether you had installed Composer as root, and so some critical files required by Laravel were effectively invisible for a non-privileged user.
Problem
Just playing with Laravel 4 for the first time after using version 3 for a few projects but can't seem to get Artisan to work at all. I've done a bunch of searching and followed the troubleshooting steps I could find but no luck. - I've got Mcrypt installed - I had no bootstrap/compiled.php file to delete - I have the latest version of the framework from Github - I am on the latest version of Composer When I try "composer update" I get this error: ``` Script php artisan optimize handling the post-update-cmd event returned with an error: ``` ...with no extra information. Trying to run "php artisan list" or any other artisan command just gives me no output at all. Any ideas?
