Stack trace:

It is related to this line, $rc[] is line 178

        $rc[] = array (
            'directory'     => $testdir,
            'exists'         => is_dir($dir),
            'writable'         => is_writable($dir),
        );
    }

The PHP version is 7.1.6.
My /admin/general.php file is 100% identical to a clean 4.7.8.

If I declare $rc = array(); INSIDE the foreach, the error disappears and /admin/general.php can be accessed again.

It doesn't fix it completely, the list of directories that it checks for write permission is only 1 folder long, only the /var/upgrade folder.

Hi,

It is very strange.

Do you have
$rc = array();
in the line 164?

Thank you.

Hi,

You have to fill the
'Pay per campaign' or 'Pay per visit' fields.

Try it here

Thank you.

I tested 4.7.8 on php7.1 and got similar results. 7.0x works ok though so look for some difference there.

May be admin/general.php was not patched properly.
I will check upgrade packs.

Could you compare the attached file with your admin/general.php ?

Thank you.

This file is identical, this is the file giving problems. (I use an admin/general.php from a clean 4.7.8 download)
So it seems $rc = array(); on line 164 is not enough: my current fix is to also place $rc = array(); on line 178.

This means admin/general.php can be accessed again, but not all folders are checked for write permissions anymore.

Hi,

Unfortunately, I was unable to reproduce this issue on the default installation of X-Cart 4 on PHP Version 7.1.6.

Could you please provide me with the valid SSH/FTP or Control Panel access info to your server so I can see whats causing the issue directly.

Please post it in X-Business access list section here:
https://secure.x-cart.com/customer.php?target=create_access_info

Thank You.

Hi!

I just redownloaded a fresh 4.7.8 and replaced the /admin/general.php again, and now it doesn't error out

[herber@wirehub.nl]

Next in my error log:

[30-Jun-2017 07:09:21] Warning: Illegal string offset 'avail' in /public_html/modules/Special_Offers/offers.php on line 213 

[30-Jun-2017 07:09:21] Warning: Illegal string offset 'skip' in /public_html/modules/Special_Offers/offers.php on line 216 

this file is also identical to a clean 4.7.8 that I downloaded.
Any other files I should check?

You can ignore these non-critical warnings.

I will fix them in X-Cart 4.7.9.

Thank you.

So what is the minimum version of PHP that the 4.7.8 requires ?
