Phorum 6.0.1 installation issue

[prbt2016]

Hello,

I was in the process of manual installation of Phorum 6.0.1 on Alma Linux 8.10 with PHP 5.6 to PHP 8.4, MYSQL 5.7, Apache 2.4.

However, following error is thrown on PHP 5.6 while starting manual installation i.e (hitting http://example.com/phorum601/admin.php)

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ':', expecting '{' in /{{PATH}}/{{TO}}/{{PHORUM}}/common.php on line 58

Also while starting installation on PHP 7.0 to 8.4 only the following is shown while hitting http://example.com/phorum601/admin.php i.e :

For your kind information the following is thrown in Apache error log i.e :
PHP Fatal error: Uncaught TypeError: Argument 4 passed to phorum_set_cookie() must be of the type string, null given, called in /{{PATH}}/{{TO}}/{{PHORUM}}/include/admin/header.php on line 167 and defined in /{{PATH}}/{{TO}}/{{PHORUM}}/common.php:67

Could you please replicate this at your end ?.

Also any PHP requirement change ?.

As per this document https://github.com/Phorum/Core/blob/master/docs/install.txt it mentions PHP 5.

I will get the installation docs update. PHP 8.2 is required for this new version of Phorum. It will not install with PHP 5.6

Hello @brianlmoon ,

Thanks for the update . Did you check the issue on PHP 8.2? . It's not showing up installation form .

It's just showing up this.

I have just released 6.0.3 that fixes the installer.
