What are the minimum requirements

  • php >= 8.1 with curl
  • mariadb >= 10.2.1 or mysql >= 8.0.13

Joomla 4.4 still supports PHP 7.4, which is End-Of-Life since 28 November 2022, so the extensions on this site stepped Forward.

 

Many hosting companies are still stuck in old mysql version's. The BLC should work with MySQL 5, but is not tested against it.

CLI

 Your command line might have a different, default, PHP version.

The package checks the php version of the web server before installation. However, it does not check the php version used on the command line. Use php -v to see the default php version. Setting a different default php version depends on your operating system. Or adjust the command to use the right php version:

/usr/bin/php8.1 joomla.php blc:extract --live-site=....

/opt/plesk/php/8.2/bin/php joomla.php blc:extract --live-site=....

The exact path depends on your operating system
