Presta 1.6 (due to module depenancy) failing at Create default shop and languages

[NathanK]

hi Folks,

i'm trying to rebuild a presta instance due to a module dependancy and its failing at "Create default shop and languages" @ 23%.

If i cat my apache logs, i'm getting:

[Mon Oct 05 05:41:00.994815 2020] [php7:error] [pid 47877] [client 203.1xx.xx:60797] PHP Fatal error:  Cannot use result of built-in function in write context in /var/www/html/prestashop/tools/tar/Archive_Tar.php on line 693, referer: http://54.66.xx.xx/prestashop/install/index.php?restart=true

i have no idea how to fix this? i've confirmed all the php vars are enabled and php addons from here:

http://doc.prestashop.com/display/PS16/What+you+need+to+get+started

any ideas?

 

tahnks.
