Joomla 5 does not recognize php 8.1

[opkyrtsis]

Hi there, a strange issue. I have completed a new installation, selected php 8.1 as required, everything seemed okay. After a while I got a red screen that reads

"Sorry, your PHP version is not supported.
Your host needs to use PHP version 8.1.0 or newer to run this version of Joomla."

Tried to go back to previous php and select 8.1 again, but it won't work.

https://opkweb.eu/refurn.gr/site/

Note that during the process I was asked to upgrade mysql to 8.0 which I did, but the procedure failed at some point. However the site was up and running.

Any ideas? Thanks

Check the contents of the file .htaccess. Some hosts add their own scripts there to use a particular version of PHP. Ask you host to fix this and also ask them to make sure that the session path specified in php.ini is writable.

The PHP extension fileinfo should also be enabled. You may be able to enable PHP extension from the Software section of the cPanel or a similar page, provided by your host.

FPA says you're on PHP 7.4 not 8.1 J5 minimum is PHP 8.1 and MySQL 8.0.13 OR Maria DB 10.4.0 minimum.
https://manual.joomla.org/docs/next/get ... uirements/

Your database seems to be compliant:

FPA reports:

dbConnection Type: mysqli | PHP Supports J! 5.0.1: Yes | Database Supports J! 5.0.1: Yes | Database Credentials Present: Yes |
Database Configuration :: Version: 8.0.36 (Client:mysqlnd 7.4.33)

.

PHP Supports J! 5.0.1: Yes
PHP Configuration :: Version: 7.4.33

This doesn't seem to make sense.....PHP 5.0.x won't run on PHP 7.4.x yet your FPA gives it a pass mark.

This is strange. PHP 8.1 is indeed selected...

[JAVesey]

This is strange. PHP 8.1 is indeed selected...

As @Toivo advised, check the contents of your .htaccess file. There could be an entry to that calls a different PHP version than the one you’ve selected in your cPanel.

This line in your FPA tells you that all is not well:

Code: Select all

Database Configuration :: Version: 8.0.36 (Client:mysqlnd 7.4.33) | Database Size: 4.80 MiB | #of Tables with config prefix:  74 | #of other Tables:  0 | User Privileges : GRANT ALL

Have you asked for support from your hosting provider?
