OpenSprinkler Web App Blank Page Returned

[kdemontf]

Hello,I am new here and I am having a problem with the Web App https://github.com/salbahra/Sprinklers-PHP. It is installed on Apache/2.4.6 (Ubuntu) Server at my Lan IP Port 80 server in Linux Mint 16, and I can contact it. When I first navigated to ://serverIP/sprinklers the install page opened and it wrote a config file. Installer page said it would direct me to the next page, which it did, but it is blank? Now if i navigate to ://serverIP/sprinklers i get only a blank page. Here are some errors found in the contents of /var/log/apache2:

I see some errors, but do not know how to fix them. I am using Firefox to access the web server; is Java an issue possibly? and the crontab and JSON errors seem significant? I double checked the IP of the OS box, and the passwords and I can contact the OS by IP address on the LAN with firefox and with an android device mobile app. Any help would be appreciated, I am not a Linux expert. Thanks, Keith.
PS: great product

Hello, the PHP version of the app is no longer in development. So before you spend too much effort trying to get it working I suggest you hold off as another solution is coming soon.

If you want the PHP copy to run you will need to add JSON support to your PHP install. That is the error you are getting.

Note: If you are using OSPi, the PHP app does not support the 2.x versions.

Thanks

Thanks for the quick reply. I installed PPY5-JSON and it works. The reason I wanted this was to get the auto rain delay functioning. This Web App seems to be the only way to do that, or am I missing something? I modified the config file to get this going, not sure it works yet. I look forward to the new solution you mentioned. Thanks again, Keith

Ah, if you are interested in the rain delay feature than you are correct for the Arduino that is currently the only way to achieve that. Glad it works!
