PHP error when upgrading 4.7.16 -> 4.7.17

Hi,

how to fix this?

4.7.16 -> 4.7.17

PHP 8.1 in use.

"We were unable to start a PHP session. You will need to contact your host to adjust your PHP configuration before you can continue. The error reported was: Return type of IPS\_DateTime::format($format, $memberOrLanguage = null) should either be compatible with DateTime::format(string $format): string, or the #[\ReturnTypeWillChange] attribute should be used to temporarily suppress the notice"

Last time, in the same situation, it helped when PHP 8.0 is selected. Now it gives just error message.

"We were unable to start a PHP session. You will need to contact your host to adjust your PHP configuration before you can continue. The error reported was: session_start(): Failed to read session data: files (path: /var/cpanel/php/sessions/alt-php80)"

Fixed by hosting provider.

Glad to hear you managed to get that resolved 🙂
