Help: Keep getting 500 Internet Server Error when upgrading to 1.1.21

[mudworm]

My SMF was on 1.1.20. After the hosting service upgraded php recently, today, the site become unusable with errors like "8192: preg_replace(): The /e modifier is deprecated, use preg_replace_callback instead" in the browser. So, I decided to upgrade.

Downloaded smf_1-1-21_upgrade.zip, unzipped in to place and run in the browser <site>/upgrade.php  . And clicked on the continue button. Tried it a few times, and each time end up this on the screen:

Internal Server Error

The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.

Please contact the server administrator, [email protected] and inform them of the time the error occurred, and anything you might have done that may have caused the error.

More information about this error may be available in the server error log.

Additionally, a 500 Internal Server Error error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

Please help! Thank you.

You will want the large upgrade to 2.0.11, not 1.1.21

edit: if you still get the same error, you need to check with your host so that they can check the server logs for the cause of the error...

upgrading to 1.1.* will not fix that error message. it is fixed in 2.0 only.
