Inconsistent versioning of the stable version, versions

[mihai89]

So, heres the problem:

07.2021, you got to the official website and download the prestashop 1.7 arhive. 

You go to github and get the code from the 1.7.7.x branch.

 

My problems:

The oficial website VERSION is 1.7.7.5

the github version is 1.7.7.6 

WHICH ONE OF THEM IS THE STABLE ONE?

1.7.7.5 version is stable one.

Okay, but but

why are there 2 diferent versions? 

also the "stable" 1775 has this error, still

Now, the github version 1776 seems to have it fixed, so please guys either change the version number and update de arhive on your site or change the version number in the github repo.

@Crezzur

dude, i used 7.3 and 7.2 , its not from the php version.

also i user a wamp 3 on windwos  with 7.3 and then 7.2

and a apache server 2.4 with php 7.3. i a remote server,

the error persisted on all of them. 

so no docker, no vagrant, no virtual machine. I tried it fast and dirty.

I had to comment , i feel dirty for doing this, the classses/ tools.php -> if !$is_addons return false if and leave the return false. And that let the instalation finish.

 

BUT again, on the github repo 1.7.7.x the issue is fixed.

The problem is not that i didn;t install the platform, its more like ... what i ;m installing is it stable? or does it still have bugs?

Thats my concern. 

Now you guys tell me, from what you've read, which is the corect stable version, because the situation si hilarious and sad at the same time.

Also ambiguous.

 

Should i have given a composer update on the arhive files from the official prestashop website?

Hello @mihai89

It is certainly not my intention to question your findings. But as you point out that these prestashop versions are defective is simply wrong. Every day I reinstall ten or more Prestashop versions with different versions of Prestashop 1.7. My installations always run perfectly without any errors. When the installation fails, it is almost always a server setting that is not correct.

Can you try to check with this code below if your server is able to connect other websites (Prestashop addons server)?
Just create a file like test.php and place it in your server /yourshop/test.php

<?php
	if(!ini_get('allow_url_fopen')) {
        echo 'PHP <b>allow_url_fopen</b> is disabled. file_get_contents will not work.';
    } else {
        echo 'PHP <b>allow_url_fopen</b> is enabled.';
	}
?>
