Valerie Huard Posted October 18, 2022 Share Posted October 18, 2022 Good day, How do I check which version of IP Board we have currently? And what are the requirements or server requirements to upgrade from an old version of IP Board to a newer one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solution Randy Calvert Posted October 19, 2022 Solution Share Posted October 19, 2022 To check what version you're running, click on the "Support" link in the upper right of your ACP. It should tell you what version you're running such as: If you want to check to see if your site is able to run the IPB software, you can use the compatibility checker: But in a nutshell one of the major requirements is PHP 8.0 or 8.1. 7.4 technically works right now, but PHP 7.x support ends in November and as a result in the November release, IPS will be removing support for it. So I would just stick with 8.0.x or 8.1.x. Full details can be seen when you run that script. Valerie Huard 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
