Affected Version
SilverStripe 4.0.1
Description
I'm trying to install SilverStripe 4.0.1 on my VPS, LAMP technology. All requirements are correct.
Steps to Reproduce
I'm using the normal web installation and not composer.
Hey @SqualaDesign would you mind providing the version of PHP you're using please?
Ah, I think I know what has happened here. You've probably downloaded the archive from the SilverStripe website which was built with PHP 7, and you're running PHP 5.6?
To fix this, navigate into your project directory, delete the vendor folder and run composer install. This will re-install all of your dependencies, but using versions of packages like symfony/filesystem that are PHP 5.6 compatible.
Closing as a duplicate of silverstripe/silverstripe-framework#7709.
