Prestashop 8.0.2 - PHP Version Issue

[skijump]

I'm installing a fresh install of 8.0.2 and receiving an "An error occurred during installation..." message.

install/missing_requirement.php notes: 

"Your server is running PHP 7.3.33, but PrestaShop requires PHP _PS_INSTALL_MAXIMUM_PHP_VERSION_ or lower. To install PrestaShop _PS_INSTALL_VERSION_ you need to downgrade your server's PHP version."

Prestashop 8 Dev Docs says up to PHP 8 is ok, thoughts? I can easily downgrade to 5.6 PHP but curious if that's the real solution.

If you want Prestashop 8.0.2 you can't downgrade to PHP 5.6 because is not compatible with less than PHP7.2 At least I'm using PHP8.1 (the recommended one) and works fine for me.

For Presta 1.8, you should use PHP 8+

Thanks, I've used PHP 8.1 with the proper extensions without luck. I've used Prestashop for 8 years and could always figure out installs, upgrades, etc. This difficult install with error checking is a tough one.

If you get a 500 error, you need to activate Debug mode.

Fatal error: Declaration of Link::getImageLink($name, $ids, $type = null) must be compatible with LinkCore::getImageLink($name, $ids, $type = null, string $extension = 'jpg') in /home//rulmenti.online/override/classes/Link.php on line 9

It's simple: the override must be corrected to match the structure of your store. It's an update, so you need to adapt the old elements to bring them up to date.
