OS: a dockerized Ubuntu 14.04.2 Trusty

It looks (but could be deceiving) like it's freezing in the unzip, but that zip file is tiny - 256kb. I'm also able to download it locally and unzip no problem. If you stop at this point, and manually use unzip on this file, does it work?

I admit, I've never seen anything like this :). It's also possible it's freezing on the next step, but it hasn't printed anything from that step yet.

I might also try to isolate by only updating one thing at a time - e.g. composer update symfony/http-kernel. Also, remove the -o, just in case that's causing some issue.

Wish I could be more help - but this is indeed odd!

Hi Ryan,
thanks alot for the reply.

I have been able to observe something:

• I use docker on my mac, so that on my docker (lamp) box, I share my mac's www folder with my docker box(es)
• On the docker box, if I go to /tmp/ and from there I do the composer update, everything works fine.
• But if I do on the shared folder and do a composer update on ANY folder, I get the composer hanging.
  I suspect permission issue, but on my mac, I tried to do permission 777, but still in vain.

So right now, what I'm doing is just going to my tmp folder, do composer and mv back to /var/www

I don't understand why this is happening though as I was not having that issue previously

Docker on Mac - permission issues:

• http://stage1.io/blog/managing-permissions-in-your-docker-volumes/
• https://github.com/coreos/coreos-vagrant/issues/139

UPDATED:
I have been able to solve this issue by adding the spefic UID and GID of my host to my Docker box
REF: this answer here: http://stackoverflow.com/a/24986166

The composer now works!
