We will release revised 5.4.0.x Public Beta with PHP 7.3 and MariaDB fixes next week. I’ll post an update here. Thank you for understanding.

Anyone who have problems with the installation using PHP 7.3 please attach log files from the xcart_folder/var/log directory, it will help us to investigate this issue. Thanks!

Max FYI
It looks like the new XC5 pack is not .tar anymore but .tgz
I can't re-install any package packed from admin. Error message was something like unknown format or similar.

Am I missing something here or is this another bug in the XC 5.4.x beta?

The problem is that you cannot upload the module for X-Cart 5.3.6.x on X-Cart 5.4.0.x. And tar/tgz/tar.gz formats are acceptable.

To adapt your module you need to manually unpack the version for 5.3.6.x in root X-Cart 5.4.0.x and make the necessary changes:
- Main.php -> main.yaml (possible to generate via command: php xc5 utils:generateMainYaml XC/Example)
- Change module version to 5.4.0.0
- Rebuild the cache
- Enable the module
- Fix bugs if any

More details in the technical blog post: https://devs.x-cart.com/what_is_new/5_4_0_technology_preview_release.html

Thanks!

That is not the problem. The module is manually uploaded to 5.4.x then converted to 5.4.x format. Tested and all works under 5.4.x. Then exported from 5.4.x to package and then trying to re-import back that very same package - error shows and the installation is not allowed. The cart will not even upload the module package due to "format not allowed" or something like this

Please provide more details:

- logs from xcart_folder/var/log

Please read other people's related threads / posts first. This post only relates to the public beta release > XC 5.4.0.3 not any other XC release.

That's been fixed and the install ran very smoothly this time (Dev Store in our signature below) Thank you.

location ~* (\.php$|\.htaccess$|\.git) {
deny all;
}

We referred to this, in post #5 then commented in post #7 of this thread, where we hopefully made our own thoughts clear.
As is currently provided, yes, there's definite progress, but we still think this is just a stick-on Nginx 'plaster' as opposed to being a pure, well designed Nginx only version of XC5

We commented in post #7 of this thread. FWIW the default settings within ~/xcart/etc/config.php obviously do still remain as:

; Content-Security-Policy value

; ~ edit ~

content_security_policy = 'disabled'

The previous answer from @Ruslan shown above, relates to why.
However, we can't find the CSP tutorial yet (but we're assuming that this will be posted very soon?)
This CSP setup for XC5 tutorial IS needed to fully test this XC 5.4.0.3 public beta release and provide useful feedback, especially, when using modules that may/will be effected by using CSP.
If / when needed by anybody, two useful reference links for CSP are these: Security Headers (site-test) and Scott Helme (CSP tagged articles)

However, we can't find the CSP tutorial yet (but we're assuming that this will be posted very soon?)

Currently, this is not a prior task. Unfortunately, this tutorial will not be included in 5.4.0.x Stable release.

Thank you for testing! Please let me know if you find anything else.
You're helping create a better product!
