New installation Version 19.8 on CENTOS 7.8 PHP 7.4. The loading screen gives:

        Unhandled exception
        Stack trace:
        SyntaxError: Unexpected token < in JSON at position 0

Grateful for any help with this. Thanks

Amazingly I have found the solution which is a deprecated call to get_magic_quotes_gpc() in backend.php. Commenting out line 7:
if (get_magic_quotes_gpc()) {
and the closing } on line 12 eliminated the error.

I had already done the same in public.php.

what is this, software archaeology? :face_with_raised_eyebrow:

no, the solution would be not using tt-rss from 2019.

I get your point but you’d have to tell that to the installer Softaculous in CPanel :slight_smile:

you might want to tell them that they are distributing tt-rss with known security vulnerabilities.

also, enjoy your probation for ignoring support section rules.

e: i’ll never be able to understand the point of using some kind of one-size-fits-all saas “solution” when it literally doesn’t work out of the box and you need to manually start hacking on the code, pointlessly fixing something that was already fixed years ago in upstream.
