Upgrading from 1.1.21 to...

[Sir Osis of Liver]

Did you empty the error log before dumping the database?

[ducpainter]

probably not.

I'll do it again.

Give me a minute

[Sir Osis of Liver]

Warning! You do not appear to have a version of PHP installed on your webserver that meets SMF's minimum installations requirements.

Please ask your host to upgrade.

[ducpainter]

Ok...

database copied, error log cleared, there's an sql dump on the server, but for some reason my ftp client is telling me the certificate in wrong...not sure if that has anything to do with anything. You can save it or leave it there. At least it exists.

You're up.

When I did the backup it reverted to the old php settings.

Try now

[Sir Osis of Liver]

Don't do anything ...........

[Sir Osis of Liver]

Table 'dmf_smf-.smf_instant_messages' doesn't exist

[ducpainter]

Don't do anything ...........

You funny.

You know me.

[Sir Osis of Liver]

Running........

[ducpainter]

Just got a warning message from my host that has an issue with the HTTPS_DOMAIN service.

In the past, the only solution has been to restart the server. That would likely break ther upgrade...no?

[ducpainter]

I did nothing, I see nothing.

[Sir Osis of Liver]

Ok, you're at 2.1.4.  Check if everything's working. 

You'll need to find a new theme. 

I would install the verification image mod first, set up 20-30 verification questions.  Then install ezportal, see if it inherits the SP settings. 

2.1.4 does not officially support php 8.3, but shouldn't be any major problems.  You can downgrade to 8.1/8.2.

Restarting the server will not affect the upgrade unless host restores a backup, the upgrade is complete.

I shudder to ask, but who is your host?

[ducpainter]

I saw that, and I can't thank you enough.

I searched themes, and greyed out is kinda close. Do you know if Curve will work in 2.1.4 on the included theme to get somewhere's near to the look? I'm more concerned with colors...remember I'm a painter

I can back down the php version. Not sure if my host gives me such detailed choices. Let me know if that's preferred.

[Sir Osis of Liver]

Default theme is Curve2, that's what you're seeing now.  You can look through 2.1 themes here.  Any theme can be customized.

You can run the forum in php 8.3, just keep an eye on the error log.  You might have problems with mods that don't support php 8.x.

[ducpainter]

Are you concerned about the errors?

Just a question
s
What php version would you prefer?

[Sir Osis of Liver]

You shouldn't log any errors, it's a clean install.  2.1.4 officially supports php 8.1/8.2.  Either one is fine.

Going offline til tomorrow.  Try not to break anything.

[ducpainter]

I did some thing...

backed up to 8.2.

Don't think I busted anything. ...although that's my MO

Thanks again.

Godaddy

We were with mediatemple, and they were great. Godaddy swallowed them up, and it's well...Godaddy.

Godaddy

It leaves a lot to be desired imo.

/var/www/vhosts/ducatimonsterforum.org/httpdocs/Sources/Security.php (Line 166)
Type of error: Undefined
Error messageSelect
2: Undefined array key "id_member"

Is that the complete error message?

[ducpainter]

Like I said...it used to great. Since the upgrade I can't connect via FTP because the server uses one ssl, and the domain uses a different one. I'll have to contact godaddy and get run arpound for a bit.

I truncated the message slightly by removing Guest, the IP address...this 
 
 d7d66a84e4684a86e83443ff9296094e

and 'Type of error:Undefined'

After looking through the error log I'm finding others. Lots of this one

8192: preg_replace(): The /e modifier is deprecated, use preg_replace_callback instead<br />File: /var/www/vhosts/ducatimonsterforum.org/httpdocs/Sources/Load.php(225) : runtime-created function<br />Line: 3
Which is the same error I was getting with 1.1.21. I believe those were while I was running php 8.3. I've backed it down to 8.2, on the advice of Sir Osis, and I'm not seeing those errors now

ETA...if you'd like now that it's upgraded I will start a new thread in the proper support section. Your call. Also, Can I safely clean out the packages from the package manager like all the old 1.0, and 1.1.x updates?

I have been paid to transfer 10 different sites out of goDaddy to ICD Soft st this point....

GoDaddy has always been bad ---  they've just gotten worse than bad in the last 5 years
