All third party mods/themes related support questions should be asked at their respective support topics/forums.

That being said, have a look at this link:

I don't know if it's mod related issue because I tried to use the idea from your link and it didn's solve the problem. I still have this blank page with error 500.

I don't know if it's mod related issue because I tried to use the idea from your link and it didn's solve the problem.

The fact that the error happened after the mod uninstallation coupled with the error message strongly indicate that it's mod related imo.

I still have this blank page with error 500.

Can you check your server error log page and post here the most recent messages logged in there?

[bod22]

I posted the last error in the first post.
It's repeated all the time.

It's the same error then. When you say the following quoted below, what did you try exactly? Is that mod compatible with php 8.x btw?

Like I sad above, this is mod related and you should really ask for support at that developer's support forum.

Well, your php version could be the problem.

Step it back to  8.0

I've used PHP 8.1 for a few months so it's not the problem. It worked well on it. However I tried to change it even into 7.4 and it didn't help.

I managed to restore backup and now my forum works, but I need to replace this old mod with the newest version somehow. To do it I need to unistall the former.

Glad to hear that. I will be marking this as solved then.

but I need to replace this old mod with the newest version somehow. To do it I need to unistall the former.

That would be the best course of action imo.

[Sir Osis of Liver]

If you've restored the forum with shoutbox installed, try downgrading php to 8.0 or 7.4, then uninstall the mod.  The uninstaller may be having problems with 8.1.

[bod22]

I'll try to do it, thanks.

[Doug Heffernan]

The uninstaller may be having problems with 8.1.

That is what I suspect that caused the issue hence my question above about the mod's 8.x compatibility.

I've run a message board since 2009 using godaddy.... this weekend my site won't load up and I too get the error 500 message.  I have no idea what to do! My site is www.showtimeforfree.com   Thanks for any help.  I found it interesting that someone else had a 500 error this weekend.  I'm not sure why my site won't show up.  I didn't do anything to it.

Given that a 500 error is literally just "something went wrong" I'm certain they're unrelated.

Best to ask in a new topic, ideally with details from the error log because that will help work out what broke and therefore what needs fixing.

[bod22]

You were right in my case it was the issue with PHP.
