I have made sure that composer.lock is in .gitignore, however, when using ( git push heroku master ), i get an error saying the following:

remote: -----> PHP app detected remote: remote: ! ERROR: No 'composer.lock' found! remote: ! remote: !

I've tried for a long time to figure out what I am doing wrong, can anyone please help me? I've made sure to do all steps up to this one (except step 11 and 12 as my site is not https, i use godaddy). Additionally, the only file I have named composer is composer.json, but no composer.lock. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

same problem here :(

I'm kind of upset because it seems like a lot of extensions have trouble on a shared host, with this one it looked like I was actually getting somewhere but i feel the tutorial is outdated

I generated that file (composer.lock) using composer. Everything was successful but inAPPNAME.herokuapp.com I have error "Forbidden You don't have permission to access / on this server.".

What i changed in original instruction? I removed composer.lock line in config.yaml

My log file https://justpaste(dot)it/63ogi

I have the exact same problem. I managed to resolve the issue with "composer.lock", but unfortunately when I load the site, I receive the "Forbidden" error. Any idea?

For the composer, this may help https://webmasters.stackexchange.com/questions/115869/mediawiki-1-31-and-error-your-composer-lock-file-is-not-up-to-date

Make sure you remove composer.lock from .gitignore !

Still getting Forbidden errors :(
