fatal error on install

You probably have a old php version. Talk with you hosting and tell them to upgrade at least to php 5.3

hi Damian – I got the same error and it prevented me from activating the plugin.

after updating from 5.2 to 5.3 it now allows me to activate the plugin. however when i load my website I get the same error printed out instead of my site – and the only way i can remove it is by deleting plugin files.

do you have a recommended course of action from here?

i’ve confirmed that 5.3 is installed because i get this after putting up <?php echo ‘Current PHP version: ‘ . phpversion(); ?> on a page: Current PHP version: 5.3.24 ….

Here’s the error (very similar to dparadis):

Warning: require_once(__DIR__/composer/autoload_real.php) [function.require-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /wp-content/plugins/geotargeting/vendor/autoload.php on line 5

Fatal error: require_once() [function.require]: Failed opening required ‘__DIR__/composer/autoload_real.php’ (include_path=’.:/usr/local/php5/lib/php’) in /wp-content/plugins/geotargeting/vendor/autoload.php on line 5

I can’t reproduce that error. I just downloaded a new copy of the plugin on a new site and I dont get the error. The file /composer/autoload_real.php exists on my directory. On yours?

@damian thanks for double checking…i tried again this morning and it didn’t throw the error!

i’m guessing there was some cache stuck in wordpress after the PHP update — even though the pages were saying the new PHP was being used, wordpress at its core wasn’t aware?

anyhow, thanks again for making and maintaining this awesome plugin. i have a client who really needs the eu cookie popup only to appear for EU residents accessing their site and this is really the only viable way to do it. i was not looking forward to the alternative option in case i couldn’t get your plugin to work.
