Please fix errors indicated by the following messages:

PHP: Installation - Manual indicates that hash() should be there by default…

# php -v

# php -r "echo function_exists('hash').\"\n\";"
1

# php -m | grep hash
hash

Both of these come up blank

# php -r "echo function_exists('hash').\"\n\";"
# php -m | grep hash
4

Lastly, try dumping information looking for hash:

$ php -i | grep hash
hash
hash support => enabled
phar.require_hash => On => On

I had to enable the extension in php.ini. It looks like my web host disables it by default for some reason.

Now it passes all of these tests. Updates are working but the web page still says the same thing. Is there another location to specify the path to php other than define(‘PHP_EXECUTABLE’, ‘[path to php]’); in config.php and update.php? It’s odd to me that the PHP path in both files is set to the same thing but only update.php works.

… you did restart your webserver (or whatever’s running php) after changing php.ini, didn’t you?

I did but what I didn’t do was save the new path in the file before I restarted the webserver. It’s all fixed now. Thank you for your help. Happy Friday!
