@jackiejack Anything in the /var/log/php-fpm error logs maybe? (error.log and www-error.log)

[JackieJack]

@quazz
Will have to check on Monday.

[JackieJack]

/var/www/fog has an index.php file

cat /var/log/php-fpm/www-error.log-20180617

@jackiejack I’m not very intimate with the code, but if I had to take a guess there’s an issue with your fog folder in the /var/www/html directory.

ls -lah /var/www/html/fog

Should tell us a bit more.

[JackieJack]

@quazz
First I reinstalled everything using Everything DVD CentOS. Ran yum update but still same error.

ls -lah /var/www/html/fog

Possibly PHP version is too old? Run rpm -qa | grep php and post results here.

@JackieJack Yeah, your PHP version is definitely too old. Something prevented the installer from using the REMI repo. See here for example: https://forums.fogproject.org/topic/9413/http-500-error

[JackieJack]

@sebastian-roth
Well what I did was install yum priorities and then install epel.

I put epel at a priority of 10 and CentOS-Base at a priority of 1.

I did not install remi repo.

What to do?
Run this command?
yum -y update php* --enablerepo=remi,remi-php56

Should I do a fresh OS install? I am not at the stage where I’m supposed to hit enter after updating database schema.

[JackieJack]

@jackiejack I disabled the yum priorities, config file enabled = 0 .

But now when I re run the script I get:
Backing up database … failed.

[JackieJack]

@jackiejack Reinstalled my centos 7 and did not tamper with anything. Fresh install of fog. Works perfect.

My adding repos and setting the priorities of them caused the confusion. Just let fog do its thing.
