nicks1979 Posted February 15, 2018 Share Posted February 15, 2018 Hey, guys I been having some issues with the install. I placed the files in my folder and then I went to install Invision Community forums. The installer had said I had an outdated PHP version. So I updated PHP version to 7, and I no longer can access the site. Here is what was in the apache logs bare with me I'm new. error_111log.txt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhett Posted February 15, 2018 Share Posted February 15, 2018 You are missing a few configuration items on php for starters, use this file here to test your hosting setup for needed items. You're missing at least mbstring, and maybe more from looking at your error log. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aiwa Posted February 15, 2018 Share Posted February 15, 2018 You've not supplied the correct user / password for your remote SQL database you're converting into IPS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nicks1979 Posted February 15, 2018 Author Share Posted February 15, 2018 Could you give me an example as I ran the php cli.php command only. I'm not sure what to enter here, as I would need to enter the username password and database name in that php cli.php command? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aiwa Posted February 15, 2018 Share Posted February 15, 2018 I've not actually used that file. Have you opened it to see if there are settings in it for the source database? Were you instructed to add any settings to your conf_global. php file or constants. php? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nicks1979 Posted February 15, 2018 Author Share Posted February 15, 2018 I checked conf_global.php file saw the key for the install only. The instructions are pretty brief. readme.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aiwa Posted February 15, 2018 Share Posted February 15, 2018 Oh, the utf8 converter. Does the board function via your browser? You've finished installation? cli uses a different version of php. Make sure you have php-cli installed. Should use your existing conf_global.php data for the db connection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nicks1979 Posted February 15, 2018 Author Share Posted February 15, 2018 The board works Via Browser I did not install the board yet I thought I had to do the conversion first? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nicks1979 Posted February 15, 2018 Author Share Posted February 15, 2018 I'm converting from phpbb to invision just so you know there is no conf_global.php. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuart Silvester Posted February 15, 2018 Share Posted February 15, 2018 Hi Nick, The UTF8 converter is for upgrades from 3.4 or below, Invision Community 4 requires that data be UTF8. You will need to install Invision Community before you can convert (it is an application for the platform). Please take a look at our migration guides, they'll run you through the basics of performing a conversion.: https://invisioncommunity.com/4guides/getting-started/migrating-from-another-platform/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nicks1979 Posted February 15, 2018 Author Share Posted February 15, 2018 Ok I installed the forums as in /new while keeping my forum in the main directory var/www/html/ My question is when I finished the conversion and I go to the new forum to sign in it redirects me to the old site. So do I now install the forum in the main folder? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
