IonCube Woes

[INUMIO-Rob]

Trying to install blesta but am running into some issues. Anyone have some input on this? Surely the blesta docs would mention an incompatibility at the requirements screen, so I assume it's something I am missing.

Blesta is not prepared to run in PHP 7.0

Cyan dark hit it right on the nail. Paul and I did try PHP 7 but the ioncube loader seems to **** up the PHP making it useless, so need to try again when they have a stable version. PS: No-where does it say that Blesta supports PHP7. No-one can support it until ioncube get a kick up their arse and create the loaders in the beta versions.

[Paul]

I suggest running PHP 5.6 with the hotfix provided with Blesta. Let's not forget that Ioncube's PHP 7 loaders are BETA, and as we experienced in our v4 dev builds, are buggy. Even if the ioncube beta loaders worked, I wouldn't use them because they are in beta.

Had this been a bit more accurate, it would have saved me about three hours of wasted labor.

Sorry about that. I updated the page to make a note about PHP 7 https://docs.blesta.com/display/user/Requirements

True, but as Paul said the ioncube loader is in beta for PHP 7, so that would have saved you labour: http://blog.ioncube.com/2016/05/06/beta-php7-ioncube-loaders/

A little bit of searching on Google

Miiiiiike. Let's be nice.

Ok, I'm sorry, however if any software I use, cPanel, Blesta, Intercom, etc when PHP 8 comes out doesn't have a notice saying "PHP 8 not supported" when ioncube does a beta for PHP 8. I'm going to complain to every company

Insulting prospective customers is a new marketing technique, I guess.

[Rocketz]

he's just very protective of blesta and lacks tact, you have to skip past that aspect of mike  

Paul is making the change to the documentation. In all fairness, it was an honest oversight, one that virtually most companies make when it comes to software relying on other requirements. Like the original starcraft says "windows 95 or later" but i'm pretty sure it won't run on windows 10 without some work. 

I just don't think this is something to be that frustrated about.

No frustration, and we've long resolved this issue. Cheers.
