Invision Community 4: SEO, prepare for v5 and dormant account notifications Matt November 11, 2024Nov 11
August 4, 20222 yr @commandosqueak1 when you access the server do you have access to easyapache4 under software? If so this should be able to be fixed fairly easily and quickly They are taking the pee! this must be the worst host in history! with easyapache you just need to run through the full setup selecting the modules that you require
August 4, 20222 yr Quote If you wish for us to troubleshoot your software, there is a billable fee. They like joking it seems. The problem is that PHP is not configured properly, the software has nothing to do with it. 🤨 I'm gonna ask just in case: have you provided them a link to the ips4.php file on the server where it shows the extensions are missing? If you already did and they still keep insisting it's the software I would just have them change you back to PHP 7.4 to get the site back online and then change hosting.
August 5, 20222 yr Author So the hosting company replied. Quote Hellohttp://www.celica-club.co.uk/forum/info.php is showing all installed and within php. Checking via SSH, we also confirm they are all installed: [root@server ~]# rpm -q ea-php80-php-gd ea-php80-php-gd-8.0.21-1.2.2.cpanel.x86_64 [root@server ~]# nano /opt/cpanel/ea-php80/root/etc/php.ini [root@server ~]# rpm -q ea-php80-php-gd ea-php80-php-gd-8.0.21-1.2.2.cpanel.x86_64 [root@server ~]# rpm -q ea-php80-php-mbstring ea-php80-php-mbstring-8.0.21-1.2.2.cpanel.x86_64 [root@server ~]# rpm -q ea-php80-php-mysqlnd ea-php80-php-mysqlnd-8.0.21-1.2.2.cpanel.x86_64 [root@server ~]# rpm -q ea-php80-php-xml ea-php80-php-xml-8.0.21-1.2.2.cpanel.x86_64 I have also forced a update via /scripts/upcp --force which forces a EasyApache and cPanel update, which completed successfully, yet your ips4.php still continues to show none of them are loaded Just to be sure its loading correctly, I have wrote a script at www.celica-club.co.uk/forum/test.php. It uses the extension_loaded function of PHP (https://www.php.net/manual/en/function.extension-loaded.php) to return a 1 if the module is installed and loaded into php, and returns no result if its not. In this case, I purposely uninstalled GMP since its not required so that it would return a null result so you could verify for yourself that we are working with the real php config and it is working as it is expected and this appears to be software related. To be honest im at the point where i just want it sorted. im going to speak to the management team to authorise payment and get this fixed then jump ship ASAP

August 6, 20222 yr Author thanks for the offer stu, I have requested the root account back from them. I could have fixed this myself by now but lack of access is causing an issue. plus i want all the access I can get to move everything over to a new host. We are in discussions with local company to do this. Thanks

August 6, 20222 yr It's a pretty straight forward PHP/MySQL based application move but we do have this guidance for moving servers:
August 6, 20222 yr Author Solution and its back up. I Installed 8.1 now i have root access. and then set everything to 8.1 and restarted the services. Thank you so so much to everyone that helped and thanks @Jim M for the guidance on moving!

It's fairly straightforward to be honest usually your new host can do it much quicker and easier But if are only bothered about the forum then a straight dump of the database via phpmyadmin and download the files then uo load the files to the new server and use something like bigdump for the database as it has to be done in stages otherwise the import will time out
August 6, 20222 yr @commandosqueak1 I see you have it up and running well done 👍 Did you just install all the modules that was required? Oops read rest the topic
