Contao Check Tool | Server 500 error after PHP upgrade

[Rian]

My hosting provider did an upgrade to PHP 5.6.14. After the upgrade all my sites run fine, and that since a few weeks already. However I recently noticed that when I install and try to run the Contao Check tool I get a server 500 error. I could not find anything wrong with the file permissions, so I am puzzled about what this may be.

A manual install of Contao also worked without a problem. There only seems to be a problem when I try to execute the Contao Check tool.

Any hints are appreciated.

Do you have access to the server's error_log file?

No, I may have to ask the provider if he is willing to provide a subset of the log-file.

I have contacted the provider. The log-file shows:

Cannot redeclare posix_getpwuid() in ...../check/controller/bootstrap.php on line 173

Hi,

you might want to try this: edit the check/controller/bootstrap.php script, go to the bottom to line 171 (https://github.com/contao/check/blob....php#L171-L176) and replace

// Add the posix_getpwuid function
if (!function_exists('posix_getpwuid')) {
    function posix_getpwuid($int) {
        return array('name'=>$int);
    }
} 

with

// Add the posix_getpwuid function
if (!function_exists('posix_getpwuid')) {
    create_function('$int', 'return array("name"=>$int);');

/*    function posix_getpwuid($int) {
        return array('name'=>$int);
    } */
}

That fixed it - thank you.
