Php versions – Installation problem on Laravel – cURL error 52: Empty reply from server

TLTR:

In CurlFactory.php line 200:

  cURL error 52: Empty reply from server (see https://curl.haxx.se/libcurl/c/
  libcurl-errors.html)

I’m new in using Laravel and I’m trying different approaches.

One of the is to following the Laracast lessons on https://laracasts.com/series/laravel-6-from-scratch .

There’s a problem though. My wish is to install Laravel globally and I’m doing through Composer.

My php version is 7.3.11, mysql 8.0.18, I installed them through homebrew (last version) and only then I tried to install laravel through composer.

I downloaded composer:

php -r "copy('https://getcomposer.org/installer', 'composer-setup.php');"
php -r "if (hash_file('sha384', 'composer-setup.php') === 'a5c698ffe4b8e849a443b120cd5ba38043260d5c4023dbf93e1558871f1f07f58274fc6f4c93bcfd858c6bd0775cd8d1') { echo 'Installer verified'; } else { echo 'Installer corrupt'; unlink('composer-setup.php'); } echo PHP_EOL;"
php composer-setup.php
php -r "unlink('composer-setup.php');"

And then I installed it globally because I moved the composer.phar file

mv composer.phar /usr/local/bin/composer

Last thing, I installed laravel globally

composer global require laravel/installer

and then I added a path to the /etc/paths files through vim

/Users/myselfuser/.composer/vendor/bin

sudo vim /etc/paths

and I did everything through my terminal.

Everything seems to work but the problem is that, if I tried to create a new project, I receive the error at the very beginning (cURL error 52), but I tried to find something regarding the problem and I didn’t find anything about this error.

To summirize, I’m able to create a project with:

composer create-project --prefer-dist laravel/laravel my-laravel-project

but not with:

laravel new my-laravel-project

Does anyone have the same problem?
