Hi: I’m getting this message during installation…  
  
  
  
  
  
Major Problems that need to be fixed now  
  
We have detected 1 major problems. You must fix them before continuing:  
  
PHP version 5.6.x requires the PHP configuration directive always\_populate\_raw\_post\_data be set to -1. This is handled automatically by the .htaccess file when using Apache and mod\_php5, but must be set manually in php.ini for other server configurations. Please add ‘always\_populate\_raw\_post\_data = -1’ to your php.ini and restart your web server.  
  
  
  
Any hint?  
  
  
  
Thanks,  
  
Esteban

Put this at the bottom of your .htaccess file:

`<IfModule mod_php5.c>
    # @link https://github.com/mautic/mautic/issues/1504
    php_value always_populate_raw_post_data -1
</IfModule>`
