Search Stopped Working - Error EX256

[Ndugu]

Any search on our boards gives this error:

Something went wrong. Please try again.
Error code: EX256

Invision Support won't help because we're not on the latest release (not ready to move our server to PHP 5.6). Any ideas how to fix this?

What is the log in your Support / System Logs

[Adriano Faria]

This is an error on a query. I suggest you to disable all 3rd party apps and plugins, one by one, and go testing, until you find the culprit.

You can also check the logs, as mentioned above.

Here's an entry from the system log:

http://site.com/index.php?/search/&csrfKey=
ErrorException

The error in log was expected to be exactly this one, since the search is core. You better do what I said above.

[Ndugu]

Just checked - we don't have any 3rd party applications or plugins.

[Adlago]

I'd tried a few things

- Support - Mark 'Something isn't working correctly' > This will remove the cache.

- Seacrh - Rebuild Search Index

Try and : In Search ->  Content to include in results:  unmark 'All' and enter 1 day /for test/

[Ndugu]

OK, did all of that, and still getting the same error. When a search is performed, the error shows up right away - there's no processing going on.

Which version do you use?
When a problem occurs?
Can you publish a link to your forum?

[Ndugu]

Not sure what version we're on (don't know where to find this) but it's just below 4.1

This happens with every search. The forum is here: http://forum.songfacts.com/

Appreciate your help.

[Adlago]

Your server is Nginx but your PHP It is very low 5.3.3

So your Search module returns an internal server error.

I would recommend re-uploading all of the files again for your IPS4 installation. Make sure you overwrite any existing files

[Ndugu]

Where can we get the latest stable release of IPS that works on PHP 5.3.3? If we have that, we can try re-uploading the files.
