PHP Fatal Error / Syntax Error

si_edgey

Thank you so much for your help, I currently have a broken Flarum site.

I'm on shared hosting and was running beta 12 on PHP 7.1. I have updated my site to PHP 7.4 and then updated Flarum to 1.2, which appears successful according to php flarum info.

However, my site was showing a 500 error, with the error logs of my site showing:

forum.subsineacademy.com [Sat Jan 29 21:35:06 2022] [error] [client 127.0.0.1:38892] PHP Fatal error: Declaration of Illuminate\Container\Container::get($id) must be compatible with Psr\Container\ContainerInterface::get(string $id) in /home/sites/4b/9/9d43d8391c/public_html/forum/public/vendor/illuminate/container/Container.php on line 17

I did a bit of reading and found this advice about adding "psr/container": "1.0.0" in the require section of composer.json.

I did this, reinstalled Flarum, and now get the message "Flarum encountered a boot error. Details have been logged to the Flarum log file."

The flarum log reads like this:

flarum.ERROR: ParseError: syntax error, unexpected ')' in /home/sites/4b/9/9d43d8391c/public_html/forum/public/vendor/flarum/core/src/Frontend/FrontendServiceProvider.php:87

#8 /home/sites/4b/9/9d43d8391c/public_html/forum/public/public/index.php(26): Flarum\Http\Server->listen()

Any help is deeply appreciated at this stage. As you can tell I'm way out my depth.

Thanks a lot.

si_edgey Are you sure that the web server (not just the CLI) is actually running PHP 7.4? This feels like an issue due to new syntax.

Thanks for the response. I have added this code to a document on the main domain:

<?php
echo 'PHP version: ' . phpversion();

And it returns PHP 7.4.27.

Flarum is running on a subdomain but I'm assuming it will be using the same php version?

Hm, not necessarily. I just checked the headers returned by your server and see the following:

subsineacademy.com
X-Powered-By: PHP/7.4.27

forum.subsineacademy.com
X-Powered-By: PHP/7.1.33

It might be that you have them indeed running under different versions of PHP.

Thank you so much!

Just updated the htaccess in the subdomain public folder to:

#+PHPVersion
#="php74"
AddHandler x-httpd-php74 .php
#-PHPVersion

And the forum loads perfectly. Solved!
