I'm having issues just getting CiviCRM installed.

This is a Drupal 7.55 install. I got as far as installing CiviCRM as a module but the next step is to go to the install/index.php file and that is where I get my HTTP 500 error.

Looking at the apache error log it is a PHP parse error

PHP Parse error: syntax error, unexpected 'clone' (T_CLONE), expecting '('

and then a link to this file

/civicrm/packages/DB/DataObject.php(207) : eval()'d code on line 1

Can someone help me out with this?

  • I couldn't figure it out the tags as using civicrm in the tag gave a short list that none seemed to be appropriate. Realized not using civicrm in tag gives more options. Really sorry about that. Didn't realize it

    The line that's breaking it is pretty messed up, eval('function clone($t) { $r = $t; if (method_exists($r,"__clone")) { $r->__clone(); } return $r; }');`. Clone is a reserved work ever since I started working with PHP, so I'm guessing this code is pretty old. AFAIK CiviCRM is not fully tested with PHP7, you might save yourself a lot of effort by downgrading to 5.6

    I downgraded the version of php to 5.6 and now the link works and I get to a page to start the database config. Hopefully, rest will work fine The CiviCRM requirements should mention that it doesn't work with 7. I interpreted 5.3.3+ and anything higher than that and 7 was the default for my setup. Anyway thank you very much
