Error: Too many arguments, expected arguments command

[martin_kaltenböck]

Hello,

I'm new to Magento and this is the first time trying to setup a test shop.

For this purpose I use a Ubunto 16.04 Image (Apache 2.4, PHP 7.0.25, MySQL 5.7.21) running on AWS.

I think, I did everything about prerequisites and pre-Installation Tasks very carefully.

Now I am at the Point of installing Magento 2.2.2.

I want to do this with the command line.

This is the command I use:

php magento setup:install --base-url="http://127.0.0.1/magento2/" --db-host="localhost" --db-name="magento" --db-user="magento" --db-password="magento" --admin-firstname="martin" –-admin-lastname="kaltenboeck" –-admin-user="admin" --admin-password="martin99" --admin-email="office@km-tools.at" -–language="de_AT" --currency="EUR" --timezone="Europe/Vienna" --cleanup-database --session-save="db" --use-rewrites="1"

 I get the following error message:

[Symfony\Component\Console\Exception\RuntimeException]
  Too many arguments, expected arguments "command".

I tried to enter the command as one line in the bash Shell.

I tried to put the command into a .sh-file and execute it with sh commandfile.sh

I tried to insert line breaks (backslash) to put every Argument in one line

I tried to use single, double and not quotes.

None of that works.

I found only a few Posts on the net dealing with that Problem, but could not find a solution over days.

Any help is appreciated! - Thanks in advance.

Regards,

Martin

Hi @martin_kaltenböck,

Can you see somehitng if you run this command?

php bin/magento --version

(You must be at the root directory of your store)

[martin_kaltenböck]

Thank your for the answer.

Yes, that works!

Tried some easy commands like

php magento --version

php magento list

php magento info:language:list

They all work!

I used to start the commands directly from the <installdir>/bin directory.

I now also tried to start it from <installdir> with php bin/magento <command> as you posted, but it makes no difference.

So what else could I try?

[Arjen Miedema]

Have you tried running it from your browser? And does that result with the same error?

[martin_kaltenböck]

Sorry, I'm not sure how to enter magento commands in a browser.

Do you mean something like this:

http://<myserver>/magento2/bin/magento?list

In this case the browser Shows:

#!/usr/bin/env php getMessage(); exit(1); } try { $handler = new \Magento\Framework\App\ErrorHandler(); set_error_handler([$handler, 'handler']); $application = new Magento\Framework\Console\Cli('Magento CLI'); $application->run(); } catch (\Exception $e) { while ($e) { echo $e->getMessage(); echo $e->getTraceAsString(); echo "\n\n"; $e = $e->getPrevious(); } exit(Magento\Framework\Console\Cli::RETURN_FAILURE); }

BR, Martin

I have the totally same problem

anything update?

Got many errors with magento 2 installation then just run out of space on server disk.

One more think is I have to use full path to magento 2 bin folder (magento 2.2),

that means for example something like

php /home/storename/storename.domain/html/bin/magento setup:di:compile 

instead being in folder and calling

php bin/magento setup:di:compile

[reggie_rodrigues]

I am experiencing the same problem. I can run basic commands without problem. When I try a browser installation all my file permission checks fail even though I have granted full rwx access to all of the relevant folders. So I am trying the command line install for Magento2.2.5.

How did you overcome the error???

[Symfony\Component\Console\Exception\RuntimeException] 

  Too many arguments, expected arguments "command".

Thanks.

–-admin-lastname is --admin-lastname, also -–language.

you should check others , i had this error in chinese char yestoday .

I found that running the command to set up cron produced this error.  I ran the command from the /bin/ directory where the magento file is, and I removed the [--force] parameter, as I was setting up the initial cron file.  This succeeded.
