[EON 6] White page and error 500 when importing

[lionelbeard]

Hi,

When we import XML files exported from EON5.3, we get following error into /var/log/httpd/ssl_error_log:

PHP Fatal error: Uncaught TypeError: call_user_func(): Argument #1 ($callback) must be a valid callback, non-static method NagiosServiceGroupPeer::getByName() cannot be called statically in /srv/eyesofnetwork/lilac/classes/EoN_Importer.php:544\nStack trace:\n#0 /srv/eyesofnetwork/lilac/classes/EoN_Importer.php(243): EoN_Importer->EON_Import_Links()\n#1 /srv/eyesofnetwork/lilac/classes/EoN_Importer.php(100): EoN_Importer->EoN_Import_Recursive()\n#2 /srv/eyesofnetwork/lilac/importer.php(64): EoN_Importer->EoN_Import_Object()\n#3 {main}\n thrown in /srv/eyesofnetwork/lilac/classes/EoN_Importer.php on line 544, referer: https://<EON_URL>/lilac/importer.php

This issue was reported as Warning under PHP < 8 (EON 5.3), but it is now a Fatal error on PHP >= 8.

I found that import is working after setting getByName() function as static on /srv/eyesofnetwork/lilac/classes/*Peer.php
public function getByName($name) => static public function getByName($name)

I don't know if it is the right way to do (I am not a PHP developer), but for now it is working :-)
