php version error on schedule run

The issue

hi im trying to run the scheduler on flarum but it fails with a php error

PHP Fatal error: Uncaught RuntimeException: Composer detected issues in your platform: Your Composer dependencies require a PHP version ">= 8.4.0". You are running 8.3.6. in /var/www/vhosts/mastersandslaves.net/httpdocs/flarum/vendor/composer/platform_check.php:22

but this is what flarum displays:

this also matches system php version

MissGamerz have you changed PHP versions on your system recently? Suspect a downgrade in PHP versions was conducted prior to this?

MissGamerz

KBExit i upgraded it

KBExit

MissGamerz gotcha, when you upgraded, did you run composer upgrade or composer install ?

MissGamerz

KBExit ive run a install since several actually

MissGamerz

this is the result after running composer upgrade

btw flarum seems to work other than the scheduler

KBExit

Is there particularly a reason to why you've upgraded to PHP 8.4?
I ask this because a lower version is primarily recommended for 1.8.x.

Edit, can you also share the cron command you're using so we can cover all bases as we continue?

MissGamerz

KBExit okay lowering to 8.3.30 seems to have got it working somehow

KBExit

MissGamerz you wouldn't be the first one having issues with 8.4+ on 1.8.x 😅

KBExit well thanks for the help you wonderful legend 😀 i was panicing a little
