Description 2:

Command of "artisan octane:start" also not working with this error messages:

E:\WebOnline\Apps\NSA\api\testoct>php artisan octane:start

  Unable to subscribe to signal events. Make sure that the `pcntl` extension is installed and that "pcntl_*" function
  s are not disabled by your php.ini's "disable_functions" directive.

Comparing to other package:

Since laravel/octane does not working on my laptop, I've tried other package, https://github.com/spiral/roadrunner-laravel with brand new installation of Laravel 8 and it is working, and also working on my existing Laravel 8 project without major problem.

Please help, how do I fix this problem?

Thank you.

Laravel Octane will not work on Windows.

The pcntl extension is required and it is not available on windows.

Use Sail https://github.com/laravel/sail

Thank you for this info, it would be way better if documentation in https://laravel.com/docs/8.x/octane mention about this fact.

I found a magic way to run roadrunner on windows.

before do this, download roadrunner manually

php artisan make:command StartOctane

<?php

namespace App\Console\Commands;

use Illuminate\Console\Command;

class StartOctane extends Command
{
    /**
     * The name and signature of the console command.
     *
     * @var string
     */
    protected $signature = 'app:start-octane {--host=127.0.0.1} {--port=8000} {--workers=1}';

    /**
     * The console command description.
     *
     * @var string
     */
    protected $description = 'Command description';

    /**
     * Execute the console command.
     */
    public function handle()
    {
        $path = storage_path('logs/octane-server-state.json');
        if (file_exists($path)) {
            unlink($path);
        }

        $this->call('octane:start', [
            '--host' => $this->option('host'),
            '--port' => $this->option('port'),
            '--workers' => $this->option('workers'),
        ]);
    }
}

then run

php .\artisan app:start-octane

You will see it works!!!

direct run octane:start on windows

use command

@iVampireSP
I tried your code, I downloaded road-runner as stated here:
https://roadrunner.dev/docs/intro-config/current/en
by using the following commands:

composer require spiral/roadrunner-cli
./vendor/bin/rr get-binary

and I got the file rr.exe in the root of my project.

then copied your command, but got the following error:

Although when I run the regular octane:start I get the usual error:

Any ideas ?

I encountered the same issue after runing the custom command suggested by @iVampireSP . The solution was to install spiral/roadrunner-http:^3.3.0, after that, the command suggested by @iVampireSP works.

Explanation:

Octane checks for Roadrunner installation using the isRoadRunnerInstalled() function, which verifies the existence of the PSR7Worker::class. This class is part of the roadrunner-http package.

If you want to know where i got the roadrunner-http, you can check the function ensureRoadRunnerPackageIsInstalled() function inside Laravel\Octane\Commands\Concerns\InstallsRoadRunnerDependencies, in there you have this:

Oh and sorry for commenting on a closed issue. Cheers!
