Failed to download symfony/skeleton from dist: /opt/lampp/htdocs/vendor/composer does not exist and could not be created

Question

Problem with Composer. I can not find solution on the Stack.

Im new with Symfony, so i have tried to make a new project with this command:composer create-project symfony/skeleton my_project_directory.

I get this result: Failed to download symfony/skeleton from dist: /opt/lampp/htdocs/vendor/composer does not exist and could not be created. Now trying to download from source

• Syncing symfony/skeleton (v6.2.99) into cache
• Installing symfony/skeleton (v6.2.99): Cloning 3f1275f599 from cache Install of symfony/skeleton failed

In Filesystem.php line 314:

Could not delete /opt/lampp/htdocs/my_project_directory. Can anyone help?

Answer 1

If "/opt/lampp/htdocs/" is general folder of your projects, u need to set access rights to:

chmod g+s /opt/lampp/htdocs/

Now, u need to delete already created "my_project_directory" folder:

sudo rm -rf /opt/lampp/htdocs/my_project_directory

Then create new one with composer command:

composer create-project symfony/skeleton:"6.2.*" my_project_directory
