Fatal error on Zend's librarie file

Omeka Classic Troubleshooting

Hi

I just upgraded php to version 8, and checking my omeka site, for any issue after this rather critical process, I found this error when enabling development mode:

  Fatal error: Uncaught ValueError: version_compare(): Argument

Sincerely I don’t remember if I’ve seen this before the php upgrade.

Whatever, I’d like to know how fatal this error is…

I tried to track out some of the code these log points to, but no luck with that… no many skills on php :unamused:

Thanks on regards.

What version of Omeka are you using? You probably just need to upgrade: the latest version has fixes for PHP 8.

2.7.1

It sounds like a good idea to upgrade my omeka .

I will.

sorry about this delay.

Yes… upgrading omeka solve the problem :slight_smile:

One more question:
What do you recommend? upgrade omeka before or after upgrading to php8??

Thank you!!

Upgrading before is probably better: if you upgrade PHP to an unsupported version then Omeka will likely not work or have warnings or errors displayed until you do upgrade to a version that supports your new PHP. If you do it the other way around it can be basically seamless.
