Installing phpbb on Debian 9

Post by MedricCedric »

Hi

I updated my php so when I do the command

Code: Select all

php -v
I get the below

Code: Select all

php -v
PHP 8.1.7 (cli) (built: Jun 25 2022 08:17:26) (NTS)
Copyright (c) The PHP Group
Zend Engine v4.1.7, Copyright (c) Zend Technologies
    with Zend OPcache v8.1.7, Copyright (c), by Zend Technologies
However When I navigate to the webaddress of the folder I get
* @license GNU General Public License, version 2 (GPL-2.0) * * For full copyright and license information, please see * the docs/CREDITS.txt file. * */ /** * @ignore */ define('IN_PHPBB', true); define('IN_INSTALL', true); $phpbb_root_path = '../'; $phpEx = substr(strrchr(__FILE__, '.'), 1); if (version_compare(PHP_VERSION, '7.1.3', '<')) { die('You are running an unsupported PHP version. Please upgrade to PHP 7.1.3 or higher before trying to install or update to phpBB 3.3'); } $startup_new_path = $phpbb_root_path . 'install/update/update/new/install/startup.' . $phpEx; $startup_path = (file_exists($startup_new_path)) ? $startup_new_path : $phpbb_root_path . 'install/startup.' . $phpEx; require($startup_path); /** @var \phpbb\filesystem\filesystem $phpbb_filesystem */ $phpbb_filesystem = $phpbb_installer_container->get('filesystem'); /** @var \phpbb\template\template $template */ $template = $phpbb_installer_container->get('template'); // Path to templates $paths = array($phpbb_root_path . 'install/update/new/adm/style', $phpbb_admin_path . 'style'); $paths = array_filter($paths, 'is_dir'); $template->set_custom_style(array( array( 'name' => 'adm', 'ext_path' => 'adm/style/', ), ), $paths); /** @var $phpbb_dispatcher \phpbb\event\dispatcher */ $phpbb_dispatcher = $phpbb_installer_container->get('dispatcher'); /** @var \phpbb\language\language $language */ $language = $phpbb_installer_container->get('language'); $language->add_lang(array('common', 'acp/common', 'acp/board', 'install', 'posting')); /** @var $http_kernel \Symfony\Component\HttpKernel\HttpKernel */ $http_kernel = $phpbb_installer_container->get('http_kernel'); /** @var $symfony_request \phpbb\symfony_request */ $symfony_request = $phpbb_installer_container->get('symfony_request'); $response = $http_kernel->handle($symfony_request); $response->send(); $http_kernel->terminate($symfony_request, $response);
Any help at all?

I assume it's cos of this line
Please upgrade to PHP 7.1.3 or higher before trying to install
So maybe I have 2 versions of php installed in which case how do I revert the default to version 8 when I run command PHP -V

I'm on debian 9
