HI there,

I upgraded my test site to 4.7.3 and now i am testing switching my php to 8 or 8.1.

Everytime i do the switch on my server i end up with a 500 error :

Fatal error: Uncaught IPS\Db\Exception: Aucun fichier ou dossier de ce type in /home/clients/cd5d3674d07eec2bd707e6ab886a1811/plongeur/forums/system/Db/Db.php:269 Stack trace: #0 /home/clients/cd5d3674d07eec2bd707e6ab886a1811/plongeur/forums/system/Db/Db.php(356): IPS\_Db->_establishConnection(false) #1 /home/clients/cd5d3674d07eec2bd707e6ab886a1811/plongeur/forums/system/Db/Db.php(487): IPS\_Db->checkConnection(false) #2 /home/clients/cd5d3674d07eec2bd707e6ab886a1811/plongeur/forums/system/Db/Db.php(972): IPS\_Db->preparedQuery('REPLACE INTO `c...', Array) #3 /home/clients/cd5d3674d07eec2bd707e6ab886a1811/plongeur/forums/system/Session/Admin.php(112): IPS\_Db->replace('core_sys_cp_ses...', Array) #4 [internal function]: IPS\Session\_Admin->write('ab6e4c887b33ead...', '') #5 [internal function]: session_write_close() #6 {main} thrown in /home/clients/cd5d3674d07eec2bd707e6ab886a1811/plongeur/forums/system/Db/Db.php on line 269

 

I guess for some reason the site cannot connect to the DB but it is weird because it is working on 7.4. You will probably tell me to check with my hosting provider but if you have an idea i am interested.

Please note this is on my test site, access details are in the "note" part of my access details.

Not weird really as the MySQLi extension isn't always enabled in PHP 8 by default.

run the current IPS requirements checker, fix any issues it shows.

You can find a direct link to the checker here if needed

https://invisioncommunity.com/files/file/7046-invision-community-requirements-checker/

is there a specific path to put the file and access it ?

never mind it was in the file description.

It basically gives the same error :

Fatal error: Uncaught mysqli_sql_exception: No such file or directory in /home/clients/cd5d3674d07eec2bd707e6ab886a1811/plongeur/forums/ips4.php:327 Stack trace: #0 /home/clients/cd5d3674d07eec2bd707e6ab886a1811/plongeur/forums/ips4.php(327): mysqli->__construct('localhost', 'io349_pbase', xxxxxxx', 'io349_ipsrefres...', 3306, '') #1 {main} thrown in /home/clients/cd5d3674d07eec2bd707e6ab886a1811/plongeur/forums/ips4.php on line 327

The phpinfo looks like msqli is enabled :

OK this is surprising but for some reason changing the sql_host in the conf_global file solved the issue.

I replaced "localhost" by the hostname of the server and now it works. Maybe my hosting provider is doing something shady somewhere 🙂

Glad to hear that has been resolved 🙂
