Hi, Upgrading to 2.0 on self hosted and currently running PHP version 7.0.8-4 Coming up with an error “Mautic does not support PHP version 7.0.8-4+deb.sury.org~trusty+1 at this time. To use Mautic, you will need to downgrade to an earlier version.” I do not really want to downgrade PHP - is there a work around? ---

As usual - an operator error. Appears that on upgrading to php7 I had not setup zip correctly (extension=zip.so in php.ini) - so did not complete much of the install and therefore did not update the config file telling it what version of php it could use. Glad I got it sorted and now to play with this new version… excited…
