Hi

I just updated my Mediawiki from 1.29 to 1.34 and at the same time I updatede the php from 7.1.33 to 7.4.4

But when I open my wiki I get the message:

MediaWiki 1.34 internal error

MediaWiki 1.34 requires at least PHP version 7.2.9, you are using PHP 7.1.33-14+ubuntu18.04.1+deb.sury.org+1"

But when I write "php -version" i get

PHP 7.4.4 (cli) (built: Mar 20 2020 13:47:45) ( NTS )

Copyright (c) The PHP Group

Zend Engine v3.4.0, Copyright (c) Zend Technologies

   with Zend OPcache v7.4.4, Copyright (c), by Zend Technologies

II can't figure out what I am doing wrong.

How do I fix it?

Best regard

Ubuntu server 18.04

You installed several PHP versions in parallel. "7.1.33" seems to be coming from some custom PPA at https://launchpad.net/~ondrej/+archive/ubuntu/php/. According to https://packages.ubuntu.com/bionic/php-cli you should have php 7.2, so I have no idea either where you got "7.4.4" from. This sounds like a question for an Ubuntu support forum instead.

7.3.11 is the newest

Where? How? Plus 7.3.11 is not 7.1.33.

Oh sorry that is my bad, I have the outdated version on my server. Thank you for pointing that out to me.

Hi

You were right. I had installed PHP versions in parallel and also the wrong version.

I had added the repository ppa:ondrej/php and because I did not specified the php version I automatically got the newest (7.4.4)

After removing the wrong PHP version I installed 7.3 and now it's working again

Hope you all have a nice weekend
