was able to fix it by using the following settings;  
What are the correct PHP settings (can be found in the php.ini file)?

```
We recommend the following PHP setting, which can be set in the php.ini file (If you do modify this file, remember to restart your web server (usually Apache) to apply the new settings):

    short_open_tag = Off 
    max_execution_time = 60 
    max_input_time = -1 
    max_input_vars = 3000 
    memory_limit = 512M 
    display_errors = Off 
    log_errors = On 
    post_max_size = 30M 
    file_uploads = On 
    upload_max_filesize = 30M 
    error_reporting = E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE & ~E_STRICT
```

Hiding errors by setting “display\_errors = Off” is not a correct answer. It’s a potential danger.  
Using this code at where error occurs (“library\core\src\Header.php - :158”):  
" $path = (isset($opts[‘basePath’])) ? $opts[‘basePath’] : ‘’;  
$basePath = self::parsePlaceholders($path);  
"
