I will install an older version xibo 1.75 on a webspace. the problem is that when i installing xibo this info is comming:

MySQL support must be enabled in PHP.

The php version on the server web is 7.1

What can i do?

best regards

I don’t think 1.7 series of Xibo supports php 7.1, so that’s most likely what causes the problem there, you’d need to downgrade the php version, to 5.6 for example, to be specific, as per manual " Xibo requires PHP 5.3.3 or higher, but less than PHP 7"

php 7 is supported for 1.8 series only (from 1.8.5 to be specific).

If you want to have 1.7 series, then I’d suggest 1.7.10, there is no reason to install 1.7.5.

As for 1.8.9 in can be installed in a similar way on a web server, but it has slightly different requirements and will require some additional steps as well, please see - https://xibo.org.uk/manual/en/manual_install.html
Including the Environment, XTR and XMR links in the manual there.

^ The above manual page wasn’t updated to reflect the php requirements, but as I said since 1.8.5 it does support php 7.

O.K. then i will try it to install the version 1.7.10 with php7 om webspace
Thanks

As I mentioned before 1.7 series does not support php 7, that’s only for 1.8.5 and newer releases.

As such it is either 1.7.10 with downgraded php version or 1.8.9 with php 7.

If it’s shared hosting, then 1.8 isn’t suitable for installation there.

You need to be able to reconfigure the way the webserver is setup per the instructions in the install guide. Most shared hosting won’t allow you to do so, and so can’t be used.

You also need to be able to install and run XTR and XMR, which again won’t work well on shared hosting.

Our suggested installation with Docker on to an Ubuntu 16.04 LTS VPS with DigitalOcean or Vultr is the quickest and easiest route to a supportable install.
