after downgrading core can't update error
Using Jamroom
when i thought i was dealing with a bug in the core (beta) i downgraded on both sites.
i then upgraded again on 1 site however the other site won't upgrade and gives error
[11-Feb-2018 14:34:51 Europe/Dublin] PHP Fatal error: Cannot use result of built-in function in write context in /var/www/vhosts/dreadlockssite.com/freedomswings.org/modules/jrCore-release-6.1.5/contrib/pear/Tar.php on line 662 [1]
fwi as part of debugging (before verifying this error was related) i had renamed the previous core directory thinking that it was having trouble overwriting because the core files already existed
the error i am getting seems to be in a script to decompress the file after download? (me no speak php)
i did search through to that line number and it appeared to just be loading arguments.
i know this is probably something simple
i don't understand though why it worked on 1 site and not the other
ps
while the update spinner goes on asd on for hours even days, the error appears in error log immediately after clicking update
