in php7 class Error is used internally

[hodgett]

I am trying to use pawtucket but am not getting much success because I am getting the following error in the log;
2017/02/17 20:54:32 [error] 5635#5635: *1755 FastCGI sent in stderr: "PHP message: PHP Fatal error: Cannot declare class Error, because the name is already in use in /opt/pawtucket-1.4/app/lib/core/Error.php on line 46" while reading response header from upstream, client: 192.168.0.7, server: blah.com, request: "GET /pwt/ HTTP/2.0", upstream: "fastcgi://unix:/var/run/php/php7.0-fpm.sock:", host: "blah.com"

A look around and I find this nugget;

If after PHP upgrade you're getting error "PHP Fatal error: Cannot declare class error, because the name is already in use ...", you will have to rename your "error" class.
Since PHP 7 classname "Error" is predefined and used internally.

The Pawtucket master branch is not compatible with php7 at the moment. Try using Pawtucket2, or if you must use this older Pawtucket try the "develop" branch.
