PHP version supported

Can anyone please tell me if Matomo v4.7 is supposed to run on PHP v8.1.2? I’m asking because I just ran into a major failure when trying to upgrade from v.4.6 to v4.7.

Hello Stefano,

Can you write here the error your encountered ?
Actually my Matomo 4.7 run on a PHP 8.0.x (Debian) without any problems.
I’ll try on a 8.1 right now to reproduce your error

It seems to work on PHP 8.1.x but I had an issue with MySqL 5.7 (not PHP) due to new Matomo 4.7 DB issue?.

Matomo should work fine on PHP 8.1 (even though minor issues might still exist), so that upgrade might be independent of the PHP version and related to

Bug not-in-changelog Regression

## Expected Behavior Updating to 4.7.0-b2 via Webupdater shouldnt be a thing … ## Current Behavior Fatal error: `matomo/core/Updates/4.7.0-b2.php: Error trying to execute the migration 'ALTER TABLE `matomo_changes` ADD UNIQUE KEY unique_plugin_version_title (`plugin_name`, `version`, `title`);'. The error was: SQLSTATE[42000]: Syntax error or access violation: 1071 Specified key was too long; max key length is 767 bytes` ## Possible Solution I guess it works with MySQL 5.7, but as 5.5 is still supported in general, it should work

Thanks a lot. I rolled back the system and retried the (automatic) update, this time everything went well… computer science is still a mystery sometimes.
