Debian 8 and PHP 7 errors

[apmuthu]

Ripped out PHP 5.6 from Debian 8 install of ChurchCRM v2.7.4 and put in PHP 7.0 from the DOTDEB Repo. Still the Backup and List Groups errors come. Looks like a CentOS specific shell command is used somewhere in the code denying Debian installs.

my prod system is using CentOS see http://docs.churchcrm.io/en/latest/Installation/CentOS7/

CentOS 7 works perfectly. It is just that Debian on OpenVZ VM is rock solid on a Debian host..

PHP 7.0 is not supported. Closing.
