"Cannot create references" error

[A Former User]

OK, so i stopped Apache, erased all php* packages, installed the php56-* packages in their place, and restarted Apache. Then i re-ran the Fog installer. And… it installed the original php* packages! So now i have 2 versions of PHP installed. And the old one takes precedence, so Fog is still not working.

I’ll try running the Fog installer again, but from a second terminal i’ll erase all the php* packages that the installer mistakenly installs and see if i can work around it that way.

I got the latest Fog installed! The work-around that i described a few minutes ago worked.

@dramaley,

As you’re using git, can you output the exact commands being used?

[Tom Elliott]

Also, if possible the current hash of the git pull?

Here is what i do to install Fog:

# cd fogproject
# git pull
# cd bin
# ./installfog.sh

Is this what you mean by the hash?

# git rev-parse HEAD
8ca213b6efd9fdc7b5df63deeac3b9cfd7fc1be0

That was run in the fogproject directory.

Hello,
I have the same error, just after the step :

• You still need to install/update your database schema.

• This can be done by opening a web browser and going to:

@Rico can you try the workaround steps @dramaley described? Your version of php is likely incorrect.
