> PHP Fatal error: Cannot use object of type DOMNodeList as array in /home/wwwroot/default/tt-rssd/classes/feeditem/rss.php on line 199

Same issue here…

Ubuntu 14.04
PHP 5.5.9
PGSQL 9.3

E_ERROR (1) classes/feeditem/rss.php:199 Cannot use object of type DOMNodeList as array

Version up-to-date (fetched a few seconds)

EDIT: Last thing I did yesterday before the issue appeared was updating the Letsencrypt SSL via certbot. Not sure whether this is connected.

https://git.tt-rss.org/fox/tt-rss/wiki/PhpCompatibilityNotes

this seems to be supported since php 5.6.3[1] (released november 2014) so i suppose thus ends (unofficial) support of php 5.5 by tt-rss

I’m having the same issue as above.

Red Hat 4.8.2-15
PHP: 7.0.25
PGSQL: 8.4.20

that’s not something that actually exists, i’m afraid

going by this (released 2014) i find it hard to believe that you’re actually running tt-rss with php 7.0.25 (released 2017)

i’m not even going to mention that php 7.0 has no issues with above code

by the way, that postgresql version is not supported either.

6

I updated php 5 -> php 7 and things started to work again.
Still funny that it seems hitting people just now.

You might want to add mcrypt to the requirements page.
Thanks for the speedy information about the cause of the issue…

7

mcrypt is a) no longer a thing b) not required by tt-rss

8

tt-rss would not want to start unless apt-get install php7.0-mcrypt (and complained about missing mcrypt)
However this might be connected to Ubuntu 14.04 and PHP 7…?

9

oh boy, you have FEED_CRYPT_KEY defined in config.php. might want to look that one up.

10

Thanks!

I just upgrade 5.5.38 to 5.6.37, turn to be OK now.

11

Not sure what to say but when I did cat /proc/version it did show that version of Red Hat.

If php 7.0 does not have this issue is it the version of PGSQL that is causing the issue?

12

that’s not how you get an RHEL release name / version.

no, it’s not possible, although you can run into other issues.

what’s more likely is that you either don’t have php 7.0 or have multiple php versions installed. or you have a different problem.

13

Is there a way to rollback last nights changes? I’d like to do this until I can look into this some more and get on a supported version of PGSQL.

Thanks

14

yes, just pick an older changeset id in git log and use git checkout. for example git checkout c3d57017d

when you’re ready use git checkout master to go back on trunk

Bugger. I’ve been bitten as well.

Off to see about updating PHP I suppose…

Edit: Upgraded php to 5.6 - I’m sorted.

16

holy shit, php 5.5 point releases lasted well into 2016. php may be an arguably shitty language but they do support their stuff.

e:

this needs to be a thing

17

I seem to have really screwed the pooch now. Now when I try and refresh TT-RSS I get the below error. Odd that I did not see this before the update last night.

PHP version 5.6.0 or newer required.

I’ll have work on this later.

18

yes, latest update to tt-rss finally enforces required php version. looks like you actually don’t have php 7.0 (or you’re not really using it).

Run and copy/paste.

not bad, although i’m not sure how distro-agnostic this is. also, no postgres version. :slight_smile:
