Unable to update/install any extensions in Joomla on PHP 8

[Ardwyad]

Hello,

I have recently updated PHP to version 8. Ever since, I find that I am unable to update or install any extensions in Joomla (regardless of which extension it is).

When trying to update, I get no specific error (not even when error reporting is set to maximum) other than this:

Code: Select all

An error has occurred.
0 Illegal offset type

When trying to install an extension, I get this error:

Code: Select all

fwrite(): Argument #1 ($stream) must be of type resource, bool given

This occurs in any version of PHP 8 I try (8.0.27, 8.1.14 and 8.2.1). When switching back to PHP 7.4 everything works normally again.

I am running the latest Joomla version 3.10.11.

Can anyone please help resolve this issue? Thanks!

You have extensions or templates that are not php 8.x.x compliant. 3.10.11 will run on php 8.0 but not 8.1 or 8.2.

The problem also occurs with PHP version 8.0.27 though.

Please post your FPA. See the red frame above.

You don't have Joomla or you have not put the FPA in the folder where you find configuration.php

Session Path Writable: No

Must be Yes. Contact your host.
Open Base is set. That may contribute to the problem.

I see now that I had misread, and thought I had to upload it in the /administrator/ folder instead of the main folder. My apologies. I moved it now and generated a new report.

I have just managed to make the session path writable, and at first glance that seems to resolve the issue.

[Ardwyad]

It seems I spoke too soon... The issue is still exactly the same.

I checked again with the FPA and it apparently still says the session folder is not writable. I CHMODded it to various things, even tried 777 but no change whatsoever (I also tried 755 but that breaks the website entirely, only showing a blank screen with the text "error"). I can't figure anything else out to make it writable.

I tested the extension updater on another, smaller Joomla site (also latest version and all, just fewer extensions, plugins, ...) and there updating works fine. The FPA assistant there also says the session folder is not writable (it's on the same server, just a different subdomain). So if updating extensions works there, then the session folder not being writable doesn't actually cause the issue.

I checked the various extensions installed on my Joomla site (the one that is giving the issues), uninstalled a few that no longer seem to function properly in PHP8. I also tried disabling several site & admin plugins to see if that makes a difference. No change at all whatsoever. The only one I can't seem to get uninstalled is uddeIM, so I simply disabled it.

I don't know what else I can try to fix this problem.

[AMurray]

You shouldn't need to (and just shouldn't, period) use 777 permissions.

If you get just the word "Error" then turn on the error reporting, and debug (edit the configuration.php file to change those as you can't do so from Joomla). Report back any errors you see.

[Ardwyad]

Thanks for your response. I just tried switching it to 755 again, and now the website keeps working - I swear I tried it a few times before and then it just gave "error" each time until I switched it to something else again.

However, even with the CHMOD 755 for the session folder, the FPA still says it is not writable.
And all that aside, I am still unable to update or install any extensions while on PHP8.

[Ardwyad]

So chmod 755 for the session folder DOES cause the error, but not right away. I changed to it last night and Joomla kept working - and sometime this morning started giving the "error" screen. So changed the CHMOD to 733 again and now everything is back to normal. Very strange.

[Ardwyad]

The problem is still the same, and since it has nothing to do with the sessions path being writable or not, can anyone please help me out with what the cause might be?

Make it empty. It blocks access to some folders.

[Ardwyad]

That map is already empty, so I have nothing to delete there...
