Homepage dont open after RC4 installation - parse error

(T_PAAMAYIM_NEKUDOTAYIM). what PHP version are you using?

PHP Version 5.4.42

Hmm, i'm not sure, that code has been there for a while.

T_PAAMAYIM_NEKUDOTAYIM means :: calling a static object, ..BUT there is no object either way in these lines... while the rest of us can use it...
Can you mind upgrade to PHP 5.6 and try again? Let us know.

I face a similar problem although do not have an exact line. The installation was a breeze but when going to the home-page at the end of the procedure, I ended up with a http error 500. After investigating I found that this is triggerd by includes/theme_functions_include.php.
I am running a CENTOS 7server with php version 5.4.16
I had version 7 installed as test without problems but this RC4 is given this issue. First when performing an update, then decided for a fresh install with the same results.
Simply upgrading PHP is not a real option, would need to try that out first since my other websites work perfectly.
Any clue on root cause? Should I try RC3 to see if that works out ok?

and what kind of object is calling it anyway?

It looks like we sneaked in some methods that require PHP 5.6+. Chan , would it be possible to keep it down @ 5.4 without losing any functionality?.
I think that would be best.

PHP 5.4 have few critical vulnerability issues... I'm sure you can find the exploit and how to do the exploit and hack server through youtube by now.. we are at PHP 7 already. I thought we are at 5.5 bare min - that was 3 years ago.

How to hack PHP 5.4 Servers....

Please don't say upgrade isn't an option.

It's a paradox because we are coding on upgrades day in day out.

I have fixed the 5.4 issues on PHPFusion 9. Homepage should run now. https://github.com/PHPFusion/PHPFusion/commit/6d0f6016614afbb1d3c60ef0bd04061b24cf580a

Falk, please up PHPFusion 9 software requirements in RC5.

I can confirm that it works without a problem with RC3.
Having said that and taking into consideration what Chan states, I see no real use for the fix provided.
If I understand correctly, php version will be adjusted in next RC.
My question would be what then the next minimum version will be.
If I have to upgrade, prefer to go to the latest version if possible.

The leash on us is when user runs on very old php version and we are required to support that, compromising on older codes, bloating the code lines. We got not problem if everyone runs the latest ones.

Going beyond PHP 5.5 you get access to Opcache() .. turn that on if you see one PHP7 optimize the heck out of PHP 5.6 beyond belief that it is at least twice faster without running cache... If you can go for PHP7, if you can. Please read: http://blog.teamtreehouse.com/5-new-features-php-7 --- PHP7 is terrifying fast. It has emoji support, better international support, better rand function, more secure, but that's just not what most important - Speed is the one thing, that I bought a new machine, format my machine's HDD using NTFS rather Mac/PC FAT (I own both machine), and now finding a localhost that has supported PHP7.... The one time pain is definitely worth it in the long run.

The average page refresh I do daily is somewhere around in the thousands . If the site is slow, I get tired very fast. That's why I develop on the latest, hence I was surprised that people had problem with the recent code changes.

On localhost, SSD - running PHP 4.5 timed me at 0.404ms. Running PHP 7, 0.018ms - If you are on live server, this stat is very critical.

I hope for your kind understanding in this matter.

Well, I will look into upgrading my server to PHP7, will be using the remirepo which seems to be a good option!

:G

I also experienced home page troubles, not a 500 error though.

Wanted to upgrade my version v9.0x to v9.02 (Github), but left me with a blank site.
Then I tried v9.01 (Github). Site was back but no Latest Active Forum Threads on the homepage. PHP version was 7.0.

Restored a backup to have the site back and show it as intended.
This worries me

To help developing php-fusion I can provide two different setups which can be used to test and debug php-fusion.
You'll have ftp access and a database for both.

php5.robotstxt.info --> php56 php-fpm
php7.robotstxt.info --> php70 php-fpm

Server setup:
Apache 2.4.23 with nginx 1.10.1 as reverse proxy.
MariaDB 5.5.41

PHP Version PHP 5.6.25 fpm-fcgi Linux
Opcache Version Zend OPcache 7.0.6-dev

PHP Version PHP 7.0.10 fpm-fcgi Linux
Opcache Version Zend OPcache 7.0.10

Well, I did upgrade php to version 7.0.10 and version 9 now is working as expected.
Sofar only need to fix one applicatio (SMF), rest is working and.................. it is indeed much faster.
So worthwhile the, in the end, little effort!
Thanks Chan for pointing in the right direction!

so after PHP upgrade to 5.6 its working. thx for help to everyone

Good news !
We beefed the requirement to 5.5 as well now.
