Current version of PHP 7.3.4 has deprecated mcrypt #3

Hi I was trying to update my pi with your latest software (original version been running for years - but doesn't read the individual microinverters) but the installation script 2.sudo_install_webserver.sh has sudo apt-get -y install apache2 php php-mcrypt php-mysql php-curl php-gd php-json mysql-server

but this installs PHP V7.3.4 which has had php-mcrypt deprecated.

So I edited the line as follows:

change line FROM sudo apt-get -y install apache2 php php-mcrypt php-mysql php-curl php-gd php-json mysql-server TO

sudo apt-get -y install apache2 php7.1 php7.1-mcrypt php7.1-mysql php7.1-curl php7.1-gd php7.1-json mariadb-server

then you need to run sudo mysql_secure_installation and set the password with the one given in your script. This then allowed the database to be created and I could carry on with the installation. All working now and great to be able to see the individual inverters details Thanks

Hi Sheppeybridge, thx for the feedback and solution on this. The code and install scripts are indeed old at this time. 3+ years. My parents still run on the php 7.0 version. Sooner or later this problem would occur. There are other ways to compil the mcrypt extension, but i have to look into that. At this point i don't have any updates planned.

Thx again for the feedback
