Install Issue

[javatech]

so i tried the 2.0.13 and still the same issue. but the php version is different.

<?php

$phpVersion = phpversion();
if (version_compare($phpVersion, '5.4.0', '<'))
{
    die("PHP 5.4.0 or newer is required. $phpVersion does not meet this requirement. Please ask your host to upgrade PHP.");
}

$rootDir = realpath(__DIR__ . '/..');
chdir($rootDir);
require($rootDir . '/src/XF.php');

XF::start($rootDir);
XF::runApp('XF\Install\App');

javatechWhat happens when you remove

$phpVersion = phpversion();
if (version_compare($phpVersion, '5.4.0', '<'))
{
    die("PHP 5.4.0 or newer is required. $phpVersion does not meet this requirement. Please ask your host to upgrade PHP.");
}

from the file and run the install again?

javatechSo you get just the source code of that page if you visit it in a browser. Sounds like PHP is not active in that location, nor on the webserver.

Which hoster are you on, how does the configuration look like

BattleKingThat’s what I am saying the whole time….

He uses own home host with Linux on it

javatechBro. I suggest you just get Ubuntu or Debian and install apache + php and go the traditional way.

SplichoI had Ubuntu 22.04 the last time and it was doing the same thing. I will give it a try again later when i get home tonight. Ill let you all know the status.

javatechOr you install keyhelp, a good web control panel for Linux that I use too, and it’s for free.

MySQL, php, Apache etc comes with it.

javatechConsider using nginx in conjunction with php-fpm instead of apache. I've encountered a similar issue before, and it's possible that apache might not be handling PHP efficiently in your case

javatechKeyhelp is the best <3

 

[sucre13]

xenforo is not compatible with php 8.3 you will continue to receive errors, do not force things if it is not compatible

 

[sucre13]

download your version of php and wait for future updates

 

[sucre13]

xenforo is programmed for a stable version of php 8.2 and you want to use it in 8.3, it will continue to give you an error, but if you install a plugin that is not even prepared for php 8.3

 

[sucre13]

It can break your head and the error is yours, I will continue to tell you that xenforo does not support PHP 8.3.2, lower your PHP version to 8.2

 

[BattleKing]

But this has nothing to do with his problems, because currently no PHP will be executed!

It can break your head and the error is yours, I will continue to tell you that xenforo does not support PHP 8.3.2, lower your PHP version to 8.2

sucre13Also in the latest release they have solved some more issue with 8.2

Compatibility with PHP 8.1 and 8.2​

Most compatibility issues between PHP 8.1 and 8.2 have been addressed. Remaining issues might trigger E_DEPRECATED warnings in the xf_error_log during debug mode, but these are generally non-critical and can be disregarded.

Current requirements​

Please note that XenForo 2.2 has higher system requirements than earlier versions.

The following are minimum requirements:

• PHP 7.0 or newer (PHP 8.2 recommended)
