Imposible to start with Mautic. I use ubuntu 14.04 and vestacp updated and working well. Mautic gave me this message prior to installation: Your server does not meet the minimum PHP requirements. Mautic requires PHP version 5.6.19 while your server has 5.5.9-1ubuntu4.19. Please contact your host to update your PHP installation. Yust starting and I have a problem without solution. ---

It is possible for your CLI to run different version of php than your web version. In your mautic directory, add a phpinfotest.php file and fill it with: ```auto ``` Navigate to that file in your browser, it will tell you what version the http server is running. ---

Thank you so so so much Are you talking about [https://github.com/mautic/MauticGeneratorBundle/blob/master/composer.json](https://github.com/mautic/MauticGeneratorBundle/blob/master/composer.json) Where do I replace the code? Where in the root is it? I can email you copy of my mautic. What’s your email? Thanks ---

[https://github.com/mautic/mautic](https://github.com/mautic/mautic) the composer.json file last updated Feb 1, 2017 is what you’re looking for. The root of your mautic is the webserver where your mautic installation is held, you’ll see composer.json there. If you don’t you aren’t in the root of mautic. Copy/paste (or download that file to your desktop, upload it to the main directory of your mautic (you will see an existing composer.json there, rename/backup/delete it) Make sure the composer.json you upload from your desktop is not composer.json.txt once its on your server. If it is, simply rename it to composer.json Run composer again via CLI to include these missing bundles. ```auto composer install ``` ---

> [@20569:@gamzehrealty](#): > > No change. Do you want me to email the files so you can look at? No, if you used an installer you’re probably quite out of date, it’s best to update (or start fresh). Those app installers are never good to use. I’ve never seen one that had the latest versions of software - all stuff that was grossly out of date and undoubtedly riddled with security holes. Its always better to install yourself, the extra time it takes also allows you to become more familiar with it, so when something breaks it’ll be that much easier to track down. ---

I installed a new mautic. Now I get this error 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.

I have three options in my hosting 5.5 5.6 and 5.7 I think they did not restart the web server. 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.
