CoreUpdater and PHP version

[312erik123]

Hello,

I get this message in "Advanced Parameters>Configuration Information": "Your server is running on PHP version 7.4.33. You should use core updater and fix your installation". My TB is built for 7.2.

I've tried to upgrade to bleeding edge - still the same message. Tried to set the option "Target PHP version" to 7.4 and update but still the same...

Am I missing something? Thanks in advance!

I'm not sure but how about updating to PHP 8.0?

[312erik123]

Afraid I can’t, running an older application on the same server so 7.4 is the highest I can go…

Do I have to do a complete new install?

I don't have an answer, just a related question over on

php version you can determine over folders so far I know.

I’m on a shared hosting so I am forced to choose one version…

change to vps, they are not that expensive.

Sure but still - backoffice says to use core updater to upgrade to version made for different php-version but does not work…

In settings part of the modules you can choose target php version.

 

Or leave it on "server version".

Yes, as I wrote I tried that to - but no effect…a bug maybe?

Maybe your config/settings.inc.php file is not writeable? This is where core updater saves information about revision and php build.

Changing the permission did make the updater change a lot of files, but settings.conf.php still says that tb is built for 7.2…anyway to check if the upgrade is made besides this file?

That's strange.

Try to manually edit settings.inc.php and change value of _TB_BUILD_PHP_ to 7.4

Then go to core updater and try update. It will probably display something funny (manual modifications warnings, etc), but you can ignore these and perform the update. 

[312erik123]

Done. But can I verify that I now have the 7.4 version?   "Advanced Parameters>Configuration Information" reads from settings.conf.php as I understand it?

Look to file /vendor/composer/platform_check.php

It should start with something like this:

<?php

// platform_check.php @generated by Composer

$issues = array();

if (!(PHP_VERSION_ID >= 70400)) {
    $issues[] = 'Your Composer dependencies require a PHP version ">= 7.4.0". You are running ' . PHP_VERSION . '.';
}

This is the stop-gag measure that prevents your store to run on older / non-supported versions of PHP. If it says 7.4, you are good

[312erik123]

Works! Perfect, many thanks!

checked my backup site, it also hade 7.4 in the platform_check file before any changes/updates. So I guess settings.conf.php wasnt being updated, but the rest of the system was
