PHP 8

[panhead]

I wanted to install a new gallery, but the installation stopped at step 3. Apparently because of the PHP 8.3 version I use.
But I have already a gallery running with PHP 8.3 (long ago installed), with PHP regularly updated.
So is it really not possible to do an installation with PHP 8.3?

There has typically been no problem with installing CPG 1.6.26 when using PHP 8.3
You have given no information that can be used to provide any help .. Links?, screen shot?, OS?, hosting?

When I install myself I get this:

http error 500





and this error message:

If I use the automatic installer of my provider I get this error:

Your host is apparently not allowing the exec() function for PHP 8.3
If you can not get your host to allow it, you can try the method here.

Your method works perfect, thank you.
