Looks like the reencryption tool is broken for php >= 7.2. You could still run it on >=7.1.2 and <7.2, but the command will not work with 7.3 for sure. As for expected behaviour: there should be a check, that errors out cleanly when the command is run on php>=7.2.

[asmiah]

Okay I'll roll back and try again :(

@hapm Thanks for your prompt response, not sure if you can help with this, I had got this error initially but didn't ask after your last comment as I assumed it may also be php 7.3 related.

So I have reverted back to a snapshot and upgraded to php 7.1 now.

Snipe loads but in the laravel.log I can see the below:

[2019-11-20 13:41:27] production.ERROR: exception 'Symfony\Component\Debug\Exception\FatalErrorException' with message 'Call to undefined function App\Models\ldap_connect()' in /var/www/html/snipeit/app/Models/Ldap.php:43

php ldap is installed if I run: yum install php-ldap

I see:

Package php-ldap-7.1.33-1.el7.remi.x86_64 already installed and latest version Nothing to do

Any ideas?

[hapm]

Check if the ldap module is enabled:

php -m | grep ldap

If not, enable it as is appropriate for your plattform, possibly one of:

php7enmod ldap 
php7enmod php-ldap
phpenmod ldap
phpenmod php-ldap

If the module is enabled, but not recognized, this could mean there is a different php configuration loaded for your site. Put a phpinfo file in your public folder and visit it to check the php environment configuration.

So regardless of what I did and what version of PHP I used I was unable to do an in place upgrade of Snipe on the same server running php5.6 and trying to upgrade to php7.1 php7.2 and php7.3

I then resulted to setting up a new server with php7.2 installing snipe a fresh and then doing a database migration from current to new server and then running php artisan migrate...

The new version of Snipe(v4.7.8) then worked fine.

A quick few questions though on a seperate note/issue:

So when we intend to check a machine out we would like the status to automatically change to deployed from "Reserved" or "In stock - built" is there any exisiting functionality that does this?

Secondly as I understand, LDAP enabled should allow me to login using my LDAP credentials and should the password not match it fall back to local authentication, however this is not working and I cannot get any users to login authenticating with LDAP, when I test the connection this works successfully under "Admin"->"LDAP" and I can also authenticate using the username and password field under "Admin"->"LDAP" LDAP Sync under "People" also works fine without any issues.

can anyone advise?

@snipe please can you help/advise?
