Cannot use lexical variable $eventName as a parameter name at \/usr\/share\/webapps\/owncloud\/3rdparty\/guzzlehttp\/guzzle\/src\/Event\/Emitter.php#48

Integrity status for oC9+

No errors have been found.

Additional Info
In the Admin pane, the message "Error occurred while checking server setup" is displayed. Loading this page generates the same error message about lexical variable $eventName as listed in the code block above.

I deleted the owncloud directory and reinstalled from the package manager, but saw no change in behaviour.

Web searches show little information, except to suggest an incompatibility between the php version and the guzzlehttp version.

Thank you for any help you can provide.

Appears to be a bug in the guzzle library of version 5.3.0 when used with php 7.1+: https://github.com/guzzle/guzzle/pull/1393

Further information here re: symfony and php 7.1 issues https://github.com/symfony/symfony-installer/issues/263

Ah... Found this: https://archlinuxarm.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=11218

So OwnCloud not ready for php 7.1.1 yet. Except mine didn't give a warning about a compatibility problem like the link above.
I'll try to roll back to the older php version for now.
