Application install problem

[Excalibur]

I'm using a fresh copy of IPB 4.0.3. Whenever i try to install any 3rd party application, I've tried multiple ones and I always get the error below after i click install. Since it happens with multiple apps, I don't think it's the apps themselves. Any ideas?

 

Fatal error: Class 'PharData' not found in .../forums/applications/core/modules/admin/applications/applications.php on line 1168

You dont have the Phar extension in your PHP build. Without it, the uploaded application archive cant be unpacked.

You'll either need to recompile your php/apache build to include the Phar extension, or you can unpack the application archive on your local machine using an application like 7zip, then upload the files manually.

ok so i set my php version to 5.4 and enabled phar and now it works.

 

Thanks.
