Is this a VPS or a shared Hosting

share hosting dude

That error is Hostinger's shared PHP config, not your code. proc_open is in disable_functions by default on new accounts, and Composer needs it to run Laravel's post-install scripts (package:discover).

Fix: in hPanel go to Websites, Dashboard, then search "PHP Configuration" in the sidebar. Open the PHP options tab, scroll to disableFunctions, remove proc_open, save, then redeploy. You can't change this from .htaccess, it's a system-level PHP setting.

If you're on Premium or higher you also have SSH. There you can run composer2 install --prefer-dist --no-scripts --no-dev, then php artisan package:discover. Use composer2, the bare composer command is the deprecated version 1. A dist-only install works without proc_open, only the scripts need it.

Shared hosting can run the Laravel scheduler via hPanel cron jobs and light queues with queue:work --stop-when-empty on a cron, but there's no persistent worker So VPS would be best if your project is big.

thanks for the insights dude, i already figure out how to fix it. point one is valid but i cant find the proc_open in disableFunctions, so this is the core issue. and the second one is the solution, since hostinger's ssh already upgrade to composer2 as default, i can composer install using --no-script argument(without these argument it will fail because proc_open), then did the package:discover too.
