Syntax error on installing Prestashop Basic edition 8.1.1

[jameswill]

Hello,

I was in the process of installing Presta Shop basic edition 8.1.1 downloaded from https://prestashop.com/prestashop-edition-basic/  on Centos 7 with PHP 7.2/7.3, MYSQL 5.7, Apache 2.4.

(Checked demo data , all modules while install)

However , when script tries to install modules , I got HTTP 500 error . So to debug further I tried enabling debug via

config/defines.inc.php i.e :

/* Debug only */
if (!defined('_PS_MODE_DEV_')) {
define('_PS_MODE_DEV_', false);
}  

 

And tried to re-install to check the exact error . The script throws the following error i.e :

1/1)
ParseError

syntax error, unexpected '?', expecting function (T_FUNCTION) or const (T_CONST)
in ps_edition_basic.php line 29
at ModuleDataProvider->PrestaShop\PrestaShop\Adapter\Module\{closure}('ps_edition_basic')in ModuleDataProvider.php line 331

 

However, script seems to be working fine on PHP 7.4.

Have enclosed the screenshot of the same .

I can see that Prestashop 8.x.x supports 7.2 and above .

https://devdocs.prestashop-project.org/8/basics/installation/system-requirements/#php-requirements

 

Are PHP requirements changed or is this a bug ?.  Could you please kindly replicate this at your end and fix this?

Hello,

I've got the same problem , when trying to install PS 1.8.1.1 on my testing Centos 7.9 (with Apache/2.4.6 (CentOS) PHP/7.4.33 and MySQL version: 5.5.68-MariaDB) . And just like severall of my predecessors said the error messages started with module-installing sections and it looks just like :

(of course I've changed the last octets of IP addresses ) 

From the browser point of view - this looks like : 

 

 

 

 

 

Do You PS Guys & Developers - know - WHAT is the real REASON OF THIS DISTURBING PROBLEM ??

And HOW TO better TROUBLESHOOT IT ???

 

(No, that's obviously not the problem of configuration php - I've tested severall configurations esp. with very enlarged time_liimits ... and so on - and nothing makes the difference at all !) 

Additionally - the problem DOES NOT affect the PS 1.7.xx versions - but only 1.8 releases !!

UPD 2 :

 

Just for testing purposes - I've tried to install another PS 1.8.1.1 with explicite NONE of modules (with unchecked option []Install Modules )

and the reason was : 

As You can see - there is the same error - 500 - appearing on the browser screen . And on the lower level (apache logs) - it looks like :
