XenForo on PHP7

[Sunka]

I only found v2.6.0. beta 112

 

[Liam W]

Just a pointer, my torture.xf-liam.com VPS is on PHP7.

(That's all my sites, so XF Liam, liam-w.com, piwik etc)

If you're having the issue I think you're having, then try going to the xfrocks site and download the latest beta for that add-on. When I first tried out PHP7 RC, it also broke my Widget Framework add-on, but it was fixed when I upgraded to that beta add-on.

@Sunka, @DroidOne here you two go, I found the add-on: https://xfrocks.com/widget-framework/threads/bd-widget-framework-v2-6-0-beta.313/

working

Only one addon from 77 in total not working, and that is [bd] Widget Framework.

Nah that addon works fine for me.

Hi all , not sure if this is the right section but , I have attempted to use php7 on my shared hosting and I get the DB not available message when using it.
I revert back to 5.6 and all is fine.
Any ideas ?

Yeah - does your host support PHP 7? Very unusual that a shared hosting provider would have already adopted php7 into their environment. Who are you hosted with?
As to the issue - it sounds like when it's compiling PHP it's not including the mysqli PECL.

 

[andybond]

Yes, its 100% supported. I was on the chat with them asking what build we had of the php.

Ill give them another shout. Thanks for the very useful pointer.

 

[andybond]

The hosts are saying that mysql is now not supported in php7.

what are my options ?

Did you look closely at what PECL I specifically stated...
mysqli.
There is an "i" on the end of the mysql. THAT is the one they need to use.
mysqli is fully supported.

 

[andybond]

I appreciate your time. Ill rephrase my question to my host.

Now working , they did some host voodoo...

Suhosin fails to build for PHP 7.0 here

Worth keeping up with that page.

There isn't much point using Suhosin on any modern version of php. It also introduces a non-trivial performance hit.

But at least it isn't suphp.

Heads up, the update today for cPanel supporting PHP7 is very buggy with LiteSpeed. LiteSpeed, continues to restart from errors.

I highly recommend not upgrading cPanel to it yet.

Oh, ok.
And I will still be safe then?

I will try without Suhosin.

Try disabling Huge Pages in the kernel. php's support for Huge Pages is buggy, even if you disable it in php.

XenForo should be safe without it. Infact turning on al the features of Suhosin will break XenForo.
