Question

How to install laravel php framework on hostgator shared hosting? - PHP Version 5.2 - AddType application/x-httpd-php53 .php in .htaccess file

My Problem: Cannot install composer using SSH : $ curl -sS https://getcomposer.org/installer | php Getting error : The phar extension is missing Install it or recompile php without --disable-phar

Your Php(5.2.17) is too old, you must upgrade to PHP 5.3.2 or higher.

1. Install The phar extension. 2. upgrade to PHP 5.3.2 or higher — user894932

Hostgator supports PHP 5.4+. Try using that.

See: http://support.hostgator.com/articles/hosting-guide/hardware-software/php-5-4

PHP 5.4 is available on shared hosting accounts provisioned after May 1, 2013 using by adding the following code to your .htaccess file.

AddType application/x-httpd-php54 .php

Laravel 4 has server requirements here:

PHP >= 5.3.7
MCrypt PHP Extension

Since your host has PHP 5.2 - you cannot use Laravel 4. Consider changing hosts, or using Laravel 3.
