XF 1.5 PHP 7 problem showing full size attachments

[AndyB]

In testing a new server I'm going to migrate to, I have a problem with full size attachments not showing, this is the error message I show when I click the image name in the attachment viewer while editing the post:



This problem only occurs if I switch to ea-PHP70, ea-PHP55 and ea-PHP56 work fine. The new server has cPanel so I can quickly change the PHP version.



My server error log in the Admin Control Panel shows many of these errors, here's an example:



I used the xenforo_requirements.php test and it shows "Your server meets all of XenForo's PHP requirements.".

Imagick? Maybe..

Or.. memory..

no problems with that, using PHP 7.0.13 and latest MariaDatabase

The new server has cPanel so I can quickly change the PHP version.

In Direct admin you can easily change php version of any of your users, domain or subdomains:

Just you need to install CustomBuild 2.0 plugin.

Recently I changes my server and also my php from 5.6 to 7. and everything is working fine.

Imagick? Maybe..

This is a good suggestion, I'm using ImageMagick so it I switched to GD Image library as a test, but I get the same error with full size attachments.

Thank you ŽivaAkcija and Dadparvar, I realize there are many forums using PHP 7 without issue. Hopefully I can find the problem with my installation of PHP 7 as I would prefer to use PHP 7.

php 7 doesnt support... certain caching techniques? do you have any configured in your config?

 

[AndyB]

More information, the attachment manager below the post shows thumbnails just fine.

Thank you for helping, no I don't use any additional cache and nothing entered in my config.php regarding cache.

Disabling ModSecurity did not fix the error.

can you do a full <?php phpinfo();

to get the php 7 version rather than just 7.0

 

[ŽivaAkcija]

when you login in cpanel you are see server information option click it, then see what is server setup

Do you have the image that's causing the error, or is it all images? That error is caused by iconv by the looks of a quick Google.

Strange that cPanel server information shows PHP Version 5.6.28 when the MultiPHP Manager in cPanel shows ea-PHP70.

That'll be the default PHP version, for the whole server.

Hi Liam,

Yes all full size image attachments are broken. The only change I made was to enable iconv, so I it could very well be something to do with that.

iconv is required by XenForo, so if it isn't enabled XF won't work anyway

You have tried to disable the addons, especially those related with the attachments.

Fixed it by installing ea_PHP71 in cPanel.

After installing ea_PHP71 I needed to install two additional extensions before I was able to view a thread, the extensions were these.

mysqli (php71-php-mysqlnd)
curl (php71-php-curl)
