cgi:error when I switch from php56 to php70

[AndyB]

Currently in cPanel I have ea_php56 selected and my forum runs perfectly. But when I switch to ea_php70 attachments are broken. The error_log shows many of these cgi:error messages:

[Wed Jan 18 01:47:11.242038 2017] [cgi:error] [pid 6275] [client 50.156.102.222:50093] AH01215:   thrown in Unknown on line 0: /usr/local/cpanel/cgi-sys/ea-php70, referer: http://www.southbayriders.com/forums/threads/154530/

What should I check?

Thank you.

Also I got a bunch of Server Error Logs in the Admin Control Panel like this:

Sounds related to what happened when I upgraded to php 7.0. I had to reinstall ImageMagick PECL Extension again.. http://pecl.php.net/package/imagick
and it took some goofing around to finally click into place. I have no idea why it became an issue because it was installed, working fine in the past php version.

NOTE: php 7.0 works great but 7.1 is problematic. I wasted a whole night on it and finally shifted back to php 7.0.
Avoid php 7.1

Hope some of what I mentioned helps.

You need to make sure you have all the same PHP modules installed in PHP7 as are installed for PHP56

 

[AndyB]

Hi Matt,

Using EasyApache 4 I made sure that all the PHP Extension were the same between php56 and php70.

 

[MattW]

Have you installed iconv ?

If you google the specific error, it's related to iconv

https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=D....69i57j69i60.855j0j4&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8

 

[AndyB]

I just checked, iconv is installed on both php56 and php70 and just to be sure I checked with this PHP:

<?php

if (function_exists('iconv'))
{
	echo 'iconv exists';	
}

 

[MattW]

If it works OK with PHP5.6, and not 7, then it must be some code that isn't compatible with PHP7.

 

[AndyB]

then it must be some code that isn't compatible with PHP7

I assume you mean an add-on, I'll try disabling all add-ons and see if that works.

Yes, addon, as PHP7 works fine with the latest version of XenForo.

 

[AndyB]

PHP7 works fine with the latest version of XenForo

I'm still running XenForo 1.5.0.

Yes, addon

I disabled all add-ons, same issue with php70.

I just checked where iconv is used in XenForo and it's the same code between 1.5.0 and 1.5.11.

 

[AndyB]

Also I just checked on my test forum running XenForo 1.5.11 which is on the same dedicated server, when I switch to php70 the same exact problem, attached images will not display.

php 7.0 or php 7.1?

I cannot get 7.1 to work properly.

php 7.0 or php 7.1?

I cannot get 7.1 to work properly.

I'm working on @Anthony Parsons server at the minute, and he has PHP7.1 working fine with cPanel. I also run PHP7.1 on my own server.

Update, maybe this helps you too, Andy.
I finally have 7.1 running. I found a pile of 7.1 extensions in the customize provisions that weren't installed. I have no idea if I needed all the extension checked, but I did and it is running great now.
If someone could chime in and share what not to install.... please do
I'm hoping I didn't go overboard with all the extensions. PS, I used WHM (cpanel) and it looked for conflicts.

 

[audiokid]

Hi Matt, thanks for chiming in. I posted before I saw your reply.

Did you install (ALL) of the extensions?
