Required parameter $sessionKey follows optional parameter $options

yhassoun

I am installing a fresh copy on Ubuntu machine on AWS using the wizard ‘setup.php’ and I keep getting this error:
Required parameter $sessionKey follows optional parameter $options
I have searched for this issue and learned that it is due to a deprecation in php 8, however I am using php 7.4
I am unable to determine how to go around this issue. Appreciate any help

That sounds like a PHP8 issue - are you 100% sure you’re not using PHP8 in the webserver environment?

Hi Ryanmitchell.. This is what I am getting on my terminal:

There are 2 choices for the alternative php (providing /usr/bin/php).

Selection Path Priority Status

0 /usr/bin/php7.4 74 auto mode
1 /usr/bin/php7.0 70 manual mode
2 /usr/bin/php7.4 74 manual mode

I think I have a version 8 under xampp.
Thanks Ryanmitchell, I will see to downgrade it to 7.4.

Glad you got it sorted. We are moving towards supporting PHP8 - it should be in place before v3 final
