If you get a PHP fatal error, Internal Server 500 or a blank page you have to make sure that your server is indeed running on a supported version of PHP for the version of Akeeba Backup you are installing. Please consult our version compatibility matrix.
In order to determine which PHP version you're using, please
create a file named info.php
with the following
contents:
<?php phpinfo(); ?>
Upload it to your server and access it as
http://www.example.com/info.php
, where
www.example.com
is your web site's domain name. You will
see your PHP version on top. If the PHP version is unsupported please
ask your host to immediately upgrade your PHP. Do not ask us for such
instructions. This is absolutely server-specific; only your host can
help you with this.
If, however, you are getting PHP Warning, Notice, Strict
Standards or Deprecated messages, this is nothing to worry about,
meaning that ANGIE will work properly but its interface might be so
loitered with the messages that it's impossible to use. In that case
please ask your host about instructions on either disabling PHP error
output to the browser or setting the error reporting level to E_ERROR.
If you are on a local server (e.g. XAMPP, MAMP, WAMPServer, etc) you
have to edit your php.ini
file and change the
following two lines:
error_reporting = E_ERROR display_errors = 0
If you don't know where your php.ini
file
is stored, please consult the documentation or support forum of your
server stack (e.g. XAMPP) you are using. We know about a few of them,
but not all of them. It's best to ask such questions on the official
site of each server stack where you can get proper support about those
non-Akeeba products.

You MUST restart Apache (the web server service) after applying those changes. If you are unsure about how to do that, you'd better shut down and restart the server stack (e.g. XAMPP) you are using. |
