Documentation for 2.1.X and up is incorrect (Composer)

[tcreek]

This deals with Composer

1.3 PHP Composer

A PHP dependency manager called Composer (https://getcomposer.org/) is used to
install PHP packages needed for A2Billing.


You can follow those steps to install PHP composer::

    cd /usr/local/a2billing
    curl -sS https://getcomposer.org/installer | php
    php composer.phar update
    php composer.phar install

This is not only incorrect, but in the wrong section.

There is no folder /usr/local/a2billing unless you create one. If you do create it then follow the rest of ,you will get the following error:

Composer could not find a composer.json file in /usr/local/a2billing
To initialize a project, please create a composer.json file as described in the https://getcomposer.org/ "Getting Started" section

This has to be done after the package has been unpacked, and you cd into that directory. which is in section 2.1

Another problem:

2.5. Step 6: Install The AGI components

Copy or create a symbolic link of the entire content of the AGI directory into asterisk agi-bin directory::

    mkdir /usr/share/asterisk/agi-bin

The mkdir /usr/share/asterisk/ folder does not exist, thus is going to generate an error when trying to execute the command mkdir /usr/share/asterisk/agi-bin

So after doing the rest of the install, then go to the /admin portal, we now get the following error:

PHP Fatal error: require_once(): Failed opening required '/var/www/html/billing/common/lib/../../vendor/autoload.php' (include_path='.:/usr/share/pear:/usr/share/php') in /var/www/html/billing/common/lib/admin.defines.php on line 33

I have not been able to figure out what the problem is on this error. I figure something else in the documentation is incorrect.

Update: Found the issue.

The documentation does not even mention the "vendor" folder.

It need to be added: cp -rf /usr/src/a2billing/vendor /var/www/html/a2billing
