So i’m freshly installing v3 onto a site on my server.

Uploaded all files. Kirby needs php 7.1 no problem. Deploy 7.1 on my server (still have php 5 for some old legacy websites).  
Recheck kirby…

This page is currently offline. We are very sorry for the inconvenience and will fix it as soon as possible.

Advice for developers and administrators:  
Upgrade PHP to 7.1+

Anyone else?

This looks like the message from the default error page. What error do you get if you turn on the debug option in the config file?

If you have just installed PHP 7.1, that doesn’t necessarily mean that this site actually uses PHP 7.1.

Kirby stops loading if the PHP version is below the required one with the error view you see.

```auto
if (version_compare(phpversion(), '7.1.0', '>') === false) {
    die(include __DIR__. '/views/php.php');
}

```
