XenForo on PHP7

[gavpeds]

Sorry i meant Apache modules.

 

[Anthony Parsons]

Yer, I now run on php7.0.8 with opcache and mysql 5.6, runs super duper. Was thinking about changing over to mariadb, but the performance between 5.6 and mariadb was negligible, thus unwarranted. Xenforo runs super sweet on it.

Just upgraded to php7. The xenforo admin panel now says this "An unexpected error occurred. Please try again later" and when i try to create a post on the forum i get this.

The following error occurred:
An exception occurred: Call to undefined function iconv_strlen() in /home/window/public_html/library/Zend/Validate/Hostname.php on line 1263

Any ideas??


EDIT:
It seems to be an issue with the link title option in xenforo. I can post, and can post videos, media upload attachments etc no problem it seems. Its when i add a link to the post. I have the setting turned on that pulls a title in from a link. Also noticed @Liam W your post macros adon that i use is listed in this error.

Somehow my other xenforo install does let me into admin and found this server error.

I managed to turn the setting Convert URLs to Page Titles off and i can now posts links on my other install. So it does seem to be this. How can i get back into my admin on my other install and turn this off and or is there a fix for this?

 

[Paul B]

The error is due to this:

Call to undefined function iconv_strlen()

That is missing from your PHP build.

 

[gavpeds]

Just an update i needed the iconv module for PHP installed this has fixed the errors.

 

[Anthony Parsons]

Don't feel bad, was missing the same thing when I changed over. Jake pointed me to a xenforo upload https://xenforo.com/xenforo-requirements-test.zip to test the system, just to make sure you aren't missing anything else.

 

[Fred.]

Is there a list anywhere that lists modules that are currently not compatible with PHP7?

I am looking to upgrade but to minimise any issues i want to check if the modules we have are compatible.

Check this one

[Freelancer]

Running v1.5.9 with 67 add-ons on PHP 7.0.9 on a NGINX server now, no problems whatsoever. The performance increase is really significant. I love it.

 

[ŽivaAkcija]

PHP 7.0.8 and MariaDatabase no problems

 

[BobbyWibowo]

What's with people still staying at 7.0.8? I mean PHP 7.0.10 is out since quite a while ago.

 

[Anthony Parsons]

Depends whether other softwares deem that version as stable or not, I guess. Using WHM, cpanel deem 7.0.8 as the current stable PHP version as Mr Reliable.

Finally updated from PHP 5.6.26 to PHP 7.0.12 https://community.centminmod.com/threads/forums-upgraded-to-php-7.9152/

 

[ŽivaAkcija]

7.1 comes very soon and MariaDatabase 10.2, i hope no problems with this setup , for now works fine on 7.0.13 and MariaDatabase 10.1.19

 

[rdn]

I've been using 7.1 since RC1 .
RC6 works great .

 

[KeVo]

RC6 works great .

I can also back this up. It's been working very well for me.

 

[CarpCharacin]

I am using PHP 7.0.13 and I have never had any issues. I like it.

 

[ŽivaAkcija]

7.1.0 released http://php.net/

 

[CarpCharacin]

I am upgrading right now.

All benefits, over 7.0, look to be in coding functionality. Nothing that would really help with XF?
