**Your software** _My PHP version is_ : PHP 8.1.7 (cli) (built: Jun 25 2022 08:13:46) (NTS) \*My MariaDB version is: mariadb Ver 15.1 Distrib 10.6.7-MariaDB **Updating/Installing Errors** _I am_ :Updating _Upgrading/installing via_ (delete as applicable) : Command Line The scenario is as follows, as I wanted to test out getting Mautic running on the latest LTS 22.04 of ubuntu so I did the following: 1. On the original server went ahead and upgraded Mautic to 4.4.0 - everything worked great. 2. Spun up a server of 22.04 running php8.1 3. Copied over the Mautic files (I am using a separate server for the DB) 4. Updated the server config files to use 8.1 instead of 7.4 5. Received the following message: ```auto Mautic does not support PHP version 8.1.7 at this time. To use Mautic, you will need to downgrade to an earlier version. ``` Am I missing something in local.php that maybe needs to be changed ? Or something else ? ---

Not being a Pro, I would judge the release notes … > **[Release Mautic Community 4.4.0 · mautic/mautic](https://github.com/mautic/mautic/releases/tag/4.4.0)** > > This is an out-of-cycle release which provides PHP 8.0 support to Mautic 4 users, and some other bug fixes. This should allow Mautic users to update their PHP versions before PHP 7 reaches end of l... … in the way that 4.4.0 supports PHP 8.0 but not PHP 8.1.x ---

We are not able to support PHP 8.1 until a major release (eg Mautic 5) because it requires changes to Mautic which break backwards compatibility. ---

I also get this error: Mautic does not support PHP version 8.1.27 at this time when trying to get my installation going but in my server Ubuntu Apache when I check the php version : php -v I get v8.0.30, so I’m stuck there, that happens when I type my domain/installer. Any ideas? Thanks
