For Bug Reports

BookStack Version : v0.20.3
PHP Version: PHP 7.0.27-0+deb9u1
MySQL Version: 10.1.26-MariaDB-0+deb9u1

Current Behavior

When I'm going to the home page of BookStack I have an error 500 from my nginx server.
My nginx and php-fpm work fine

This is the back trace:

That's strange since the ?? operator was introduced in PHP 7, so this should not be a problem.

Can you place a php file in the public folder with the following content, open it in a browser and post the result?

<?php
phpinfo();
?>

Just to make sure your webserver uses the correct php version.
