Phoca Forum

Hello,

Phoca Download 4.0.5 works fine for me with PHP 7. But as Joomla recommends to upgrade to PHP 8 I tried it, but get errors with Phoca Download. In order to have a clean test environment for this issue, I installed xampp with PHP 8.1.12 and tried it there - same problem. In backend I can open Phoca Download Control Panel. But when I switch to Files I get:

An error has occurred.
0 hash(): Argument #2 ($data) must be of type string, array given

When I try to download a file in fronteend I get:

0 - hash(): Argument #2 ($data) must be of type string, array given

What needs to be done to solve this problem?

Hi, can you enable debug mode and paste here the full messages (including file and line where the problem occurs)?

Do you get the same problems with latest Beta?

Sorry for the late response.
I tried 6Beta2, same error. Here the message with Debug enabled:

Hi, I don't see any error in Phoca Download but in system plugin httpheader - on line 131

I solved it. Found a hint here: https://issues.joomla.org/tracker/joomla-cms/39862
But instead of disabling "System - HTTPHeader", I had to enable it and disable the other one.

This site, soroebridgeklub.dk, running 3.10.11 and PHP 8.1, has the same kind of error, though I fail to find any references to any System - HTTPHeader. The error msg is also different. Here is what I see when trying to open Phoca Download -> Control Panel:

An error has occurred.
