Fresh install with errors

pixelguild

I just did a fresh install of Fuel CMS on a new server with PHP 7 and on the initial load screen where it gives you the instructions of all the things you have to configure above everything I get the following errors. Any idea what's going on?

fuelcms runs on ci 2.2.1 and ci runs on php 5.x.

Does anyone have any more information about how to go about updating the code for PHP 7?

almostcompletely

The release version (1.3.1) uses CodeIgniter 2 which does not play well with PHP7.

The development branch on Github is v1.4 which uses CodeIgniter 3 which is much better with PHP7.

I guess you either need to use PHP5.6 (side load or replace on your server) or swap to using the development branch
