get a message saying:
To run Matomo you need at least PHP version 5.5.9
Unfortunately it seems your webserver is using PHP version 5.3.28.
ok…fine - I upgraded PHP version to v7 but I STILL get the same message.
Where do I put the htaccess folder? Does it go in the root folder or the /public_html folder?
thanks
I don’t understand that part with the “htaccess folder”, what should that be??
What webserver do you use? Apache? nginx? IIS?
If you use apache, did you restart your webserver after upgrading PHP?
If you don’t use apache, did you set up your webserver to use the PHP7-fpm socket?
Don’t have my own servers -
I use heartinternet hosting who created it for me as they say that is where the PHP version should be.
Don’t know what servers they use, but one can choose what PHP version to use.
Heartinternet is a huge company and it’s routine for them to change which version.
I think you misunderstood that. Matomo is just asking the server which PHP version he is using. So if Matomo tells you, that you don’t run PHP7, your webserver doesn’t run PHP7.
To check this yourself, create a new php file in your html folder with the following content <?php phpinfo(); ?> and than visit that site in your browser. It will tell you every information that matomo can get aswell.
