Having a bit of an issue with an initial install of IPB.

At first I was getting the following error when I navigated to the page:

Fatal error: require(): Failed opening required '/home/XXXXXX/public_html/forums/conf_global.php' (include_path='.:/opt/cpanel/ea-php70/root/usr/share/pear') in/home/XXXXXX/public_html/forums/system/Db/Db.phpon line153

I renamed the conf_global_dist.php to conf_global.php and now recieve this error..

Fatal error: Uncaught ErrorException: Class IPS\Request could not be loaded. Ensure it has been properly prefixed with an underscore and is in the correct namespace. in /home/XXXXX/public_html/forums/init.php:438 Stack trace: #0 [internal function]: IPS\IPS::errorHandler(256, 'Class IPS\\Reque...', '/home/XXXXXX/...', 438, Array) #1 /home/XXXXXX/public_html/forums/init.php(438): trigger_error('Class IPS\\Reque...', 256) #2 [internal function]: IPS\IPS::autoloader('IPS\\Request') #3 /home/XXXXX/public_html/forums/system/Session/Front.php(44): spl_autoload_call('IPS\\Request') #4 /home/XXXXX/public_html/forums/system/Dispatcher/Standard.php(319): IPS\Session\_Front::loggedIn() #5 [internal function]: IPS\Dispatcher\_Standard->__destruct() #6 {main} thrown in/home/XXXXX/public_html/forums/init.phpon line438

I've been googling these errors all day without finding a solution.. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Thanks so much.

After hours of searching I found that the php version on the database I was using for the IPB was v6 versus v7.2. For future reference, make this one of the first things you check so you dont pull your hair out like I did!
