Upgraded to php7 and now website does not work

[bad man]

Hi guys

Upgraded to php7 and now website does not work

However what I found was that if I delete the .htaccess file then the homepage loads, but if I click on any link to go to a post for example then I get:

Not Found

The requested URL /forums/ was not found on this server.

Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

 

 

The contents of the .htaccess file are:

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
Options -MultiViews
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule \.(js|css|jpeg|jpg|gif|png|ico|map)(\?|$) /404error.php [L,NC]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>
# php -- BEGIN cPanel-generated handler, do not edit
# Set the “ea-php70” package as the default “PHP” programming language.
<IfModule mime_module>
  AddType application/x-httpd-ea-php70 .php .php7 .phtml
</IfModule>
# php -- END cPanel-generated handler, do not edit

 

If I try and load the site in firefox then it tries to download the file: application/x-httpd-ea-php56 (398 bytes)

 

Please advise

 

Thanks

For technical support please submit a ticket via your client area. You're likely to get better help there anyways. I'm assuming you are self hosted, but are you on a shared server or VPS/Dedicated?

 

PS, I found THIS file very helpful in finding out the problems:

 

 

Upload, and then browse to it.

Server configuration issue. Contact your host not IPS. 

It's likely that removing the htaccess is defaulting to php 5.6. Something may be wrong with php 7 your server.

True. I'd be interested to see still what the "Get Ready" file says, and what type of hosting they're on, or if they're self-managed.

Hi

I am on a self managed dedicated server

 

Here is the output of the file:

 

Any other suggestions?

I think this is a clue, when you load the site in firefox it tries to make you download a file: : application/x-httpd-ea-php56 (398 bytes)

[bad man]

Also my ipboard licence needs to be renewed, is this issue caused by the licence?

[Aiwa]

No

[bad man]

I just checked the php.ini file and it makes references to php56

 

Example: "PHPSESSID"
hash_function                            = 0
save_path                                = "/var/cpanel/php/sessions/ea-php56"
use_strict_mode

 

Is the fix to just change the values directly in this file to ea-php70

 

?

 

Thanks

Are you doing this through WHM or Cpanel? If you're doing it through WHM, I suggest using EasyApache4 to manage the php version. It shouldn't be referencing 5.6 if 5.6 isn't installed.

Nowe

 

Edit: another thought just occured to me. Have you changed anything else about the environment? Added nginx, enabled PHP-FPM, etc? Or was it just the swap from 5.6 to 7.0?
