PHP error on installation

Phil Steels   ( User )

I have installed the latest 2.1.19-Stable on a windows server with PHP 7.4.20 with no problems.

However, I have another server which we want to install it on, and this has PHP 7.3.10. This meets the minimum of 7.3.0 however, I get an error message when trying to install it saying:

"Ask your hosting provider to use PHP 7.3.0 or higher for HTTP, CLI, and php command. Current PHP version: 7.3.10"

I did some searching of the PHP code and found this file:-

bootstrap\autoload.php

If I change line 4 to the version I have installed then it gets passed the first screen:-

4: define('AKAUNTING_PHP', '7.3.10');

However, I then get a graphical page with the Akaunting logo and then the same error message. Again doing some searching I have found:-

app\utilities\installer.php

If I comment out line 120 then the installer runs without issue.

120: # $requirements[] = trans('install.error.php_version', ['php_version' => AKAUNTING_PHP]);


My question is, by commenting out line 120, will this cause any other knock-on effects within the code?

Thanks,
Phil.

Hi Phil,

You can check out the following link for more information.

If the doc is not helpful you can contact to your hosting provider.

Thank you for your suggestion Melda.

We host on our own windows server, using standard Apache, PHP and MySQL - we don't have cpanel or multiple versions of PHP available.

I setup a fresh install on our VMServer, and installed fresh copies of Apache 2.4.48 with PHP 7.3.10 and got exactly the same error message with the graphic screen. I then removed 7.3.10 and replaced it with 7.3.11 and I was able to get to the select language for the install.

So it would appear that your code doesn't work properly with PHP 7.3.10 - the exact version I used is: php-7.3.10-Win32-VC15-x64.zip
