Constant PASSWORD_DEFAULT already defined

Hosted
#1

Hi

We recently installed Invoice Ninja via Softaculous Installer from our hosted site.

The version we have installed is 4.5.33

But when I tried to open the admin site I got this error/warning:

Mon Feb 22 09:55:10.387834 2021] [proxy_fcgi:error] [pid 46279:tid 34416622592] [client 64.6.103.190:23471] AH01071: Got error 'PHP message: PHP Notice: Constant PASSWORD_DEFAULT already defined in /usr/home/public_html/ninja-dev/update_pass.php on line 17

When I checked the path, I didn’t see any update_pass.ph file. This is my first time installing Invoice Ninja and was wondering how can I fix this issue? I was advised to check if debug mode is available in config but I don’t know how to do that as well.

Any help would be appreciated. Thank you

Hi,

I’m sorry, I’m not sure. I don’t see PASSWORD_DEFAULT referenced anywhere in the codebase.

#3

What about the file update_pass.php ?

#4

I’m not familiar with the file

#5

hmm is debug mode available in config? like how can i turn it on?

#6

We strongly discourage using debug mode in a production system (it can leak credentials) but it can be enabled by setting APP_DEBUG=true in the .env file.

its okay im using a development site

now I see the errors, I see this:

(1/2) ErrorException

Unparenthesized a ? b : c ?: d is deprecated. Use either (a ? b : c) ?: d or a ? b : (c ?: d)

(2/2) ErrorException

Unparenthesized a ? b : c ?: d is deprecated. Use either (a ? b : c) ?: d or a ? b : (c ?: d) (View: /usr/home/public_html/ninja-dev/resources/views/auth/login.blade.php)

What does this error means?

#8

It usually means you’re using PHP 7.4 which isn’t supported, downgrading to 7.3 should help

#9

I see, what would be the alternative if its not possible for us to dowgrade to 7.3? Edit the lines per error?

#10

You could migrate to v5

#11

Nevermind its okay, we just downgraded to 7.3

It’s working now. Thank you :slight_smile:
