There's an /etc/php.ini file that is used for controlling php configs. It's far better to set the php stuff in its config file rather than scattered all over the publicly accessible web portion of your site, where it can be used for information-gathering or outright fucking you over if they figure out a way to write to it. It's suggested this way because mouth-breathing webshits typically only have access to ftp into a website's docroot because no-one is giving that idiot root.

This setting disables some functions that php probably shouldn't even have, here's the fifth shit result I found on it, and I'd bet money you have cpanel, but reading about php.ini on their official documentation would be helpful. A worst case is some functionality breaks in phpBB3 and you have to track down which terrible thing it is trying to do and it give it access back.

I have no idea if the fix in any way relates to the error, I'm busy with gin. If it continues I might find some research time.

Source: I'm a sysadmin, not a webshit.

P.S. `php -i` from a shell will dump out the current settings for every damn thing, I get about 3 pages.
P.P.S if you're familiar with /etc/httpd/conf.d, php has the same structure in /etc/php.d. This can help with organization if you're that sort.


DISREGARD THAT I SUCK COCKS


READING the error message, what the problem looks like is somewhere in your php config you have 'ini_set' blocked by a disable_functions somewhere in your php config. I'd look at '/home/jolt/public_html/phpBB3/vendor/patchwork/utf8/src/Patchwork/Utf8/Bootup.php on line 52' but it's probably just an ini_set call, so then I'd go through /etc/php.ini and /etc/php.d and grep for ini_set and/or disable functions to see who is turning it off and consider the following:

a] turn it back on (you MAY want to know what it is before doing that)
b] comment it out of Bootup.php
c] rotate and delete your logs A LOT


P.P.S Well, that's insane.
