You must log in to post replies.Elgg 3 requires PHP 7 (I thinkj Elgg 3.1 even PHP 7.1) at minimum. I never tried out HHVM so I can't tell if Elgg ever worked with HHVM at all. But as far as I know HHVM is no longer supposed to be 100% compatible with PHP (or at least in future it might no longer be). See https://hhvm.com/blog/2018/09/12/end-of-php-support-future-of-hack.html. Maybe you can get it working (also compatibility with PHP 7) setting the flag as described in https://hhvm.com/blog/2018/09/12/end-of-php-support-future-of-hack.html. But I doubt that it makes any sense to try getting Elgg to work on HHVM for a production site because even if it works now it might not in the near future with PHP (and Elgg) and HHVM drifting in different directions.
