Hi,

Which version of PHP are you running (you can find out by running php -v at the command line). MyBB 2.0 requires PHP 7.0 as it makes use of scalar type hints and return hints.

PHP 5.5.9 Wasn't aware Mybb2 requires PHP 7, shame I cannot upgrade the existing one because my forum Mybb 1.8 is running on it with many plugins which will probably break it. I will have to get another instances to with fresh PHP 7 installation. Thanks.

Hi, MyBB 2.0 is not ready to run on a live forum anyway, and there is not currently a way to upgrade from 1.8.

I know, not trying to upgrade from 1.8. I am running the test separately, the upgrade I mean is PHP not Mybb. Thanks.

Ah, fair enough!
