Tikiwiki 16.2 Error while registering new user


I did a fresh install of 16.2 and when I try to register a new user I get the error below. I've re-extracted the zip and reinstalled the database, but I get the same error.

Tikiwiki is in a public_html/tiki folder and I have made no adjustments to it.

Any help would be appreciated.

Here's the error:

Solution

  • This also caught us out the other day and it's due to an older version of PHP 5 which hasn't got the mcrypt extension enabled, and we fixed it recently, so there are a few options for you I think:
