Readiness check shows missing PHP extensions and different PHP version

[zerobrapsgiven]

So I'm running Magento locally on my machine using Mamp Pro in OSX. I'm running PHP 7, I'm able to do everything fine, but when I want to use the component manager and run the Readiness check, it tells me that I'm missing mcrypt and intl when I have those installed, and the PHP version says 5.5.31 when I'm running 7. I was able to install Magento and during that readiness check all was fine. Not sure why it's different for components. Is this a bug?

Hi @samleeiii, probably you have different version of php and extensions for your CLI.
Please check it - run "php -v" to check version and "php -m" to check installed extensions.

Thank you!

Yeap I've tried that and I get the below. So you can see it does says 7.0.0 and you can also see both mcrypt and intl in the list. It's very bizarre.

What about your crontab (which runs updater/cron.php and bin/magento setup:cron:run)?
Probably it points to old version of php
BTW, I recommend you to install php 7.0.4 or 7.0.5

[zerobrapsgiven]

Ok I will update the PHP version.

Regarding the cron, how do I set what php version it uses? Do I need to set an environment variable or something else?

[vancoz]

@samleeiii when you set the command in crontab you can use full path to php version, for example /local/lib/php5/bin/php /var/www/html/update/cron.php
So even if your CLI does use correct version cron can point to old one.

That did the trick, thanks!
