Sorry if this is posted somewhere obvious, but I didn't see it.
What are the server requirements for installing 1.1.6 please? Also are you still testing the 1.1.7 patch?
Ok, apologies, :-[ I found it here, https://github.com/elkarte/Elkarte/wiki/Requirements
That explains the depreciated errors I was getting on PHP: 7.4.8
Yes 1.1.6 will throw some depreciation notices with 7.4 but will work. 1.1.7 will clean those up, you can install 1.1.6 then patch up to 1.1.7 using the patch here: https://www.elkarte.net/community/index.php?topic=5914.msg42405#msg42405 Its not the final 1.1.7 but its 99% of it. Final should be very soon now.
Thanks Spuds, yep all patched up to 1.1.7 without problems. Thank you.
