Extension broke flarum NO shell access!

The issue

hi Folk
I used softalicious in cPanel to install flarum in stroke.logicalmodel.net/flarum a few days ago
all good!
I used flarum’ extension manager to install Progressive Wed App and it (seems) to have broken the app looking at the log at logicalmodel.net/stroke/flarum/storage/logs/flarum-2024-11-19.log
flarum now says "Flarum encountered a boot error. Details have been logged to the Flarum log file."

I THINK the fix is “composer remove askvortsov/flarum-pwa”
But I cant see any way to run it short of putting a entry into crontab with cPanel (or o/write with ftp!!!

Flarum information

there are several separate error instances
1 runs to70 lines here are #3 but seems irrelevant to me...

simoninedinburgh this seems to be an error with fof/byobu. If I'm not mistaken you should be able to access your admin, and disable or uninstall the extension.

simoninedinburgh ps why does subscriptions say none when ive signed up (albeit only a 5$/mth)

Which subscription would this be, good sir?

there's DEFFO a problem with byou BUT that wasn't stopping the whole forum from loading & the pwa IS so I can't get to admin to disable anything 🙁

Unless you know & can explain how 🙂

simoninedinburgh

luceos
not sure!
I found a "subscriptions" Pages and it had no entries on it. I sign-up for a subscription somewhere - haven't worked out how to navigate smoothly enough yet to rember how to get too & from pages

🙁

You can edit the enabled_extensions value in the settings table of the database (with a tool like phpMyAdmin for example) and remove an extension name from the JSON array if you cannot access the admin label to do it from the UI.

A PHP "syntax" error could be related to an extension requiring a specific version of PHP that your hosting doesn't meet.

My cPanel allows me to set which PHP version I'm using from about 0 to infinity so if I know what to set I can try that. I think the troubleshooting guides first step is to set out the required technical context?

WordPress is in another subdomain and is the thing that has dictated PHP version up till now

Sounds like you're saying check the PHP version and then try booting flareum and if that doesn't work use my PHP admin to edit the database directly and remove an array element triggering the load and that us should be no other consequential changes required?

I'm not familiar with PHP or JSON - My coding exploits stopped with K&R C! but i'm up for hacking with PHP admin thanks for the pointer.
Assume this is interpreted at runtime so I can edit the code and there is no compilation step required?

My ISP says they will only give me shell access via a static IP - I'll have to have that discussion with them but given that turmx & Cpanel both allow configuring of public key encryption I can't see a security risk 🙁

Thanks for the outreach I don't think it's the last time I'll need it 🙂
