Check compatible PHP version for Nagios xi 5.8.4

Post by Jiffy_Huang »

Hello,

We have received a report from security scans that the version of PHP has multiple vulnerabilities.

There are no specific vulnerability listed, just that we should upgrade to PHP 8.0.1 or later.

But after upgraded to PHP 8, I failed to access Nagios xi with a white screen.

Is that Nagios xi 5.8.4 compatible with PHP 8.0.1 or later versions or it only compatible with PHP 7 ?

Thanks in advance for any information.

Best,
Jiffy

Hi,

The highest version of PHP supported for Nagios xi 5.8.4 is 7.4

According to this https://maikuolan.github.io/Vulnerabili ... s/php.html 7.4.21 is safe

You should run this by your Security team to get their approval.

Thanks

Hi

Code: Select all

shows the
installation prerequisites. Nagios xi works with what the OS supports as far as PHP and mySQL are concerned.
