OSSN Website Error on Index

[tshpr]

Hello guys,

Not sure if this is the right place to report this, but I couldn't figure a way to do it on the website, so I will open issue here. One of my friends is facing an error with his OSSN install. I have redacted some data.

The website itself says: System error. Please try again later. You can send an email with the details to an administrator at websiteemail@email.com

This is a copy of the most recent errors on the error log.

We are running PHP 7.4.21 and OSSN version 5.2 as per the opensource-socialnetwork.xml file. As the website is not working, I am unable to retrieve any more details about the version.

It used to work, but I am not sure what changed to break it.

<version>5.2</version>
<stable_version>5.2</stable_version>
<release>1577836800</release>
<build>feb27461c56ae6768637aebfb08611f5954e6706</build>

Let me know if you require more details.

Yes its makes sense OSSN 5.2 is too old to run on php 7.x. Use php 7.0 or upgrade to OSSN 5.6
