On a working Tiki 24.x (253bcbb09b2f1c2df4bced1802f4c13cc0cf32be, 253bcbb0 · FIX PluginManager: move source code link with other general info · 1 day ago);

If I diagnose composer from the shell I have:

My Vendor folder is updated (today's date) and inside other folders have been updated or added

In the file : vendor/composer/platform_check.php there is a check for PHP8

Copy to clipboard
if (!(PHP_VERSION_ID >= 80000)) {
    $issues[] = 'Your Composer dependencies require a PHP version ">= 8.0.0". You are running ' . PHP_VERSION . '.';
}


This forbid the Tiki to run with PHP7.4.

Solution

Many commit around packages have been done since the initial report and on Tiki24.1 using Debian Linux 10 and Virtualmin version 7.1-1 I didn't face the issue. (PHP8, PHP7.4 are available)

Workaround

As temporary mesure I changed the id version required at vendor/composer/platform_check.php line 7
And everything is back to normal.

Copy to clipboard
if (!(PHP_VERSION_ID >= 70403)) {
    $issues[] = 'Your Composer dependencies require a PHP version ">= 8.0.0". You are running ' . PHP_VERSION . '.';
}
