composer: Composer 2.0.3 can not connect to packagist

I have no problematic DNS entry in my network settings.

However, when I turn IPV6 off (like described here https://www.maximumbuilders.my/news/trouble-shooting-on-composer-timeout) Composer works again. I wonder why it does not work with IPV6.

I do not want to turn IPV6 fully off. I found this solution: https://github.com/composer/packagist/issues/950

So I entered the following line to my /etc/hosts file.

142.44.164.255 repo.packagist.org

Composer now works but when installing Symfony I get the following error.

Resolving timed out after 10003 milliseconds
https://flex.symfony.com/versions.json could not be fully loaded, package information was loaded from the local cache and may be out of date
Failed to download recipe: Resolving timed out after 10011 milliseconds
Failed to download recipe: Resolving timed out after 10010 milliseconds

Can anybody tell me how I can enable IPV4 for the recipes server like I did for repo.packagist.org?

I found the problem, there was indeed a DNS issue that composer 1.x.x apparently didn’t have an issue with. I had these DNS servers in my network settings:

192.168.1.1
8.8.8.8
1.1.1.1

The first entry was a pihole rpi, that I haven’t used for some time now. After I deleted it everything works fine. Seems like it wouldn’t skip to the next two entries because I was able to ping github.com and repo.packagist.org without problems.

The problem seems to be connected to my system. In my Docker containers Composer works just fine. On my system the problem still persists. Yesterday when I had Composer 1 everything worked fine.

syr for the harsh language before, i was very frustrated after a while. had that and can’t understand it, my network and everything else are totally fine.

curl error 6 while downloading https://repo.packagist.org/packages.json: getaddrinfo() thread failed to start

reinstalled it via scoop, via choco, manually,my network is totally fine!! and i want that to work no matter if I have special configs. And if every other app can reach the destination, so should curl. i added the certificate file, checked my dns (nothing in there), tested with different dns ips, removed IPv6 networking, disabled my firewall, disabled vmware network adapters, hardcoded the ip and domain into my hosts file, reinstalled everything but my operating system, i tried literally everything. That problem is everywhere as google also says. isn’t there anything else than curl that could be used???

I’m having the same issue when trying to install Laravel 9, PHP 8.1 getting the error message

[Composer\Downloader\TransportException] curl error 35 while downloading https://repo.packagist.org/packages.json: OpenSSL SSL_connect: Connection was reset in connection to repo.packagist.org:443

I’ve reached out to our cloud engineer regarding this issue and both ports 80 and 443 is enabled Tried disabling the ipv6 but GCP instance is not using it.

Hope someone can help on this.

maybe curl resolves DNS different that when using PHP streams. Composer 2 now uses curl by default.

yes, I’m sorry for my harsh language. corrected it a little, but after a week of software problems only, it’s getting frustrating. and no i’m certainly not writing a package manager 😂 I rather download zip files and distribute them to where I need them. it’s fasterfor me and my few use cases, but i have to use composer, they don’t offer it any other way, but I asked for a zip file now…

@oliiix bye bye Composer? Are you writing your own package manager for PHP?

Also weird that curl would fail over ipv6 but that Composer 1 using php streams was doing fine… networks are hell 😕

Resolving timed out sounds like DNS issue. I don’t know if you can try another DNS resolver perhaps?

The problem in my case was caused by a running proxy app - Progress Telerik Fiddler Classic.

Switched it off and the “composer update” worked.

I am facing the same issue now in Ubuntu 20.04 and using php 7.4.

composer diagnose

Traceroute result:

1. sudo apt remove -y libcurl4-nss-dev
2. sudo apt install -y libcurl4-openssl-dev
3. recompile install php

That solved my problem

What is the problem ?

Creating a “laravel/laravel” project at “./example-app” (Windows, Command Prompt, Terminal)

In CurlDownloader.php line 375:

curl error 28 while downloading https://repo.packagist.org/packages.json: Timeout was reached

Any help why its Timeout.

• This mostly comes from your firewalls or ipv6.

• You can disable the firewalls or disable ipv6 in youur machine for it to work.

• Also you can use the following code to create your project. I hope this will assist…

composer create-project --prefer-dist laravel/laravel <app-name> --ignore-platform-req=ext-fileinfo
