Compatibility with PHP 8.4, Apache (DirectAdmin) and MariaDB 11.8

CanDirgen

Hello,

I’m planning to install the latest version of Flarum and I have a few compatibility questions:

Is Flarum fully compatible with PHP 8.4?

I’m using DirectAdmin with Apache (no LiteSpeed). Will Flarum run efficiently without LiteSpeed?

My database server is MariaDB 11.8. Could there be any compatibility issues?

Thank you in advance.

CanDirgen I think PHP 8.2 works better with version 1.x. Version 8.4 causes issues with most extensions.

CanDirgen for Flarum 1.x I recommend PHP 8.3, when Flarum 2.x releases in the coming months, then PHP 8.5.

It should be noted that PHP 8.3 and later on Flarum 1.x do require PHP Warnings disabled in your php.ini, due to some older upstream deps, but the code does run just fine.

Apache without LiteSpeed is absolutely fine, I run many Flarum based communities like this.

MariaDB 11.8 I have not used personally yet, I don't think there's any issue. I can tell you that Marida DB 10.11 works just fine.
