XF 1.4 Error installing 1.4.2 : Parameter must be an array or an object that implements Countable

[Fredjo]

Hello everyone,

I've been searching the forum but didn't find this precise error.. so please any help would be nice !

I'm trying to install a fresh forum on a 7.2 PHP server with MYSQL v.5.6 DB... everything is fine until I get this message.

Server Error
count(): Parameter must be an array or an object that implements Countable

XenForo_Application::handlePhpError() in XenForo/Install/Model/Install.php at line 275
XenForo_Install_Model_Install->insertDefaultData() in XenForo/Install/Controller/Install.php at line 211

Thanks in advance,

I don't think xenforo 1.4 supports PHP 7.2

 

[Fredjo]

I thought the installation process was checking that. I'll have a look at that.
Thanks !

I’m sorry but I can’t find which php I need to use for 1.4.2.. can anyone help!?

Maybe 5.6

Maybe 5.6

Agreed.
My localhost version works with php 5.6 , also works with 7.0.10 too. Not sure if installer would work on that but it "runs" OK it seems.

Downgraded my php to 7.0 and it's working like a charm !

Thanks guys you rock !
