Installing nextcloud with php5

English Applications
#1

Hi.

I have installed nextcloud in a computer following https://en.opensuse.org/SDB:Nextcloud](https://en.opensuse.org/SDB:Nextcloud), all went fine.
Now I’m trying to install it on another computer, but I have I problem. I have php5 installed instead of php7 because I’m using a moodle version which does not work with php7.
The guide says you can install it with php7 or php5, but when tryng to install nextcloud I get an error

Anyone has installed nextcloud with php5?

regards

#2

You shouldn’t. From Nextcloud 16 and up php7 is needed. I’m quite sure here, since a friend could not update his Nextcloud some time ago, due to having php5.

#3

Bad news then… I guess It will be problematic installing php5 and php7 alltogheter

#4

Since php5 is not going to be around forever, why not have a look from another pov : https://docs.moodle.org/dev/Moodle_and_PHP7

#5

Yes, but my moodle is 2.5.2. I have to upgrade it… any moment, but as the server is been used and it has a lot of users I can’t do it now.

#6

Understood, I ran into such issues last year, but was forced to move to php7 and update some other webapps. Took ~4 hours and did not fail on any of the webapps. Had to do it anyway, since the server runs TW, which has no php5 anymore.
