An error occurred when the test failed and I take a look to Apache log ：
PHP Parse error: syntax error, unexpected 'finally' (T_STRING), expecting catch (T_CATCH) in /var/www/html/jobe/application/controllers/restapi.php on line 228
System: CentOS 7
Installed:
apache
php
libapache2-mod-php
php-mcrypt
mysql-server
php-cli
octave
nodejs
git
python3
openjdk-9-jre
python3-pip
fp-compiler
pylint3

Jobe requires php 5.5 or later.

Yes I installed php 7. I switched back to ubuntu then, but still dont undertand why we have this error

I don't understand either. The message:

PHP Parse error: syntax error, unexpected 'finally' (T_STRING), expecting catch (T_CATCH) in 
/var/www/html/jobe/application/controllers/restapi.php on line 228)

looks to me like it can only come from a version of PHP prior to 5.5. Can you please confirm what OS you're currently running on Jobe, the version of PHP it's using, what the output is from running the command

python3 simpletest.py

from within the jobe home directory, and what gets logged to the Apache error log while running that command.

I switched to Ubuntu Server after few hours try to fix it because of the urgency to use onlinejudge. The simpletest only output error because of the syntax error on restapi.php, nothing in the jobe home directory and the parse error is the only thing Apache logs recorded :(

Centos 7 apparently still comes with the outdated PHP 5.4. Your options:

Don't use Centos. Ubuntu 16.04 is recommended.
Upgrade PHP on Centos.
Install Docker and run the Docker image of Jobe, JobeInABox
