- Hi, I’ve run into a problem while setting up NativePHP on Windows.
When I run:
php artisan native:serve -v
NativePHP tries to unzip php-8.3.zip from
vendor/nativephp/php-bin/bin/win/x64/php-8.3.zip
but the file is missing. The process then fails with:
ENOENT: no such file or directory, open ...\php-8.3.zip
On older projects, the installation seems to bring down a different PHP binary, but not 8.3.
How I solved it :
- I manually downloaded the correct PHP 8.3 Windows x64 zip from GitHub, and placed it in the expected folder:
vendor/nativephp/php-bin/bin/win/x64/php-8.3.zip
After that, NativePHP successfully unzipped and started.
Question :
- Why doesn’t composer install / composer update automatically fetch the correct PHP 8.3 zip on Windows for existing projects?
- Is this an issue with the nativephp/php-bin package not resolving to the latest version?
- Should we force an update or is there a configuration step I’m missing?
