"Whoops, looks like something went wrong" when entering settings

I get this message when I click to settings icon.

Log:

That's an error being thrown by Laravel, not by the app. Did you follow all of the instructions accurately in the installation guide? Does your server meet the minimum requirements?

[m4riuszb]

Ok, I have a wrong version of PHP (7.0.4) which is not compatible with version of laravel (4.2.x).

[matthewpennell]

Yeah, you'll need to downgrade to version 5.4 or thereabouts.
