## I have a problem
|
|
|
|
Please check your logfile at `var/log/prod.log`. Many problems reveal themselves after checking it.
|
|
|
|
If that doesn't help, open a new issue at [GitHub](https://github.com/kevinpapst/kimai2/issues/) and we try to find a solution.
|
|
|
|
## Changed configs/templates do not load
|
|
|
|
Kimai is built on top of Symfony, a framework that optimizes its speed by caching most files.
|
|
Therefor, if you are running Kimai in `production`, you have to clear the cache before changes will show up:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
bin/console cache:clear
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
See also the [configurations docs](configurations.md).
|
|
|
|
## I have only FTP available
|
|
|
|
So you want to install Kimai v2 but have no SSH access to your server?
|
|
There is a workaround available, read the additional [installation instructions](installation.md).
|
|
|
|
## Error on bin/console doctrine:schema:create
|
|
|
|
If you get an error during the installation of the database schema that mentions `DC2Type:json_array`, e.g. like the following:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
In PDOConnection.php line 109:
|
|
|
|
SQLSTATE[42000]: Syntax error or access violation: 1064 You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'JSON
|
|
NOT NULL COMMENT '(DC2Type:json_array)', UNIQUE INDEX UNIQ_B9AC5BCE5E237E06' at line 1
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Then the most likely case is that you are using a MariaDB database which is too old. You can find out which version is
|
|
used by executing `mysql --version` or by checking the server information e.g. with PHPMyAdmin.
|
|
|
|
There is a [discussion in the issue tracker](https://github.com/kevinpapst/kimai2/issues/191) about this topic.

## Dotenv::populate() must be an instance of Symfony\\Component\\Dotenv\\void
|
|
|
|
If you encounter an error like this:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
PHP Fatal error: Uncaught TypeError: Return value of Symfony\\Component\\Dotenv\\Dotenv::populate() must be an instance of Symfony\\Component\\Dotenv\\void, none returned in /var/www/kimai2/vendor/symfony/dotenv/Dotenv.php:95
|
|
Stack trace:
|
|
#0 /var/www/kimai2/vendor/symfony/dotenv/Dotenv.php(57): Symfony\\Component\\Dotenv\\Dotenv->populate(Array)
|
|
#1 /var/www//kimai2/public/index.php(15): Symfony\\Component\\Dotenv\\Dotenv->load('/var/www/html/k...')
|
|
#2 {main}\n thrown in /var/www/kimai2/vendor/symfony/dotenv/Dotenv.php on line 95
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
you are running PHP 7.0. Probably you were able to install Kimai v2, because your PHP-CLI uses a different PHP version than your webserver.
|
|
Upgrade PHP and the error will be gone. |
