[Tiki-devel] After installing a package on a Tiki24.1 => dependencies require a PHP version ">= 8.0.0"

Hello,

On a Tiki24.1 (updated from Git today) I installed “my" usual Tiki packages, npm-asset/lozad and mpdf/mpdf.

Installing mpdf/mpdf broke the Tiki with this error displayed : Your Composer dependencies require a PHP version ">= 8.0.0". You are running 7.4.30. 


Please, whoever updated the dependencies should make sure this doesn’t happen especially not on an LTS.
mpdf/mpdf is an essential package and the correct version should be set back for Tiki24 using PHP7.4.

Troubleshooting and fixing the issue (it may help someone else);

I tried to check the packages from the console but it displayed the same error:
php7.4 console.php 
Composer detected issues in your platform:
Your Composer dependencies require a PHP version ">= 8.0.0". You are running 7.4.30.

I had to switch the PHP version for this domain to PHP8.0.
Then using the console I deleted the mpdf/mpdf package manually so I can switch the domain back to PHP7.4.

This let me with another error "Service Unavailable…”
I changed the PHP option from FPM to CGI wrapper and then back again to FPM to kick a little PHP (MySQL) and get the domain back online and working. (I hope)

Regards,
Bernard
