Irish Rover Posted January 15, 2023 Share Posted January 15, 2023 I can't login to AdminCP. I can login into the forum and also have access to Moderator CP. But clicking on AdminCP and entering my user/password I get the message that the site is not secure and resets the page to login again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solution Randy Calvert Posted January 15, 2023 Solution Share Posted January 15, 2023 This is a browser requirement. You need to work with your host to setup SSL for your site. Once done, follow the following guide: Basically once SSL is setup, you change your board path in constants.php to be HTTPS instead of HTTP.

Irish Rover Posted January 15, 2023 Author Share Posted January 15, 2023 (edited) We had ssl but the conf_global.php was not going to https. I have an older version of the board don't know how to clear the caches. But I got into the cpanel. Need to make sure the version I have can be switched to php 8.1 Edited January 15, 2023 by Irish Rover Typo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Irish Rover Posted January 15, 2023 Author Share Posted January 15, 2023 OK, I finally found where the cache setting live in system advance database. Now to the next problem of upgrading the forums that are at 4.4.6 to 4.7.6 . Hope 4.4.6 does php 8. Thanks for all the expert advice and help. 😃 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Irish Rover Posted January 15, 2023 Author Share Posted January 15, 2023 Well that is going to make installing difficult Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nathan Explosion Posted January 15, 2023 Share Posted January 15, 2023 (edited) Do the following: Disable all 3rd-party resources (plugins/applications) Put a default Invision theme in place Ensure your site is working BACKUP your software and database. Download 4.7.6 manually Put PHP 8.0.x in place Upload/upgrade to 4.7.6 Test your site. Login to the ACP and go through the Marketplace onboarding and link your MP-purchased resources (if any) Update those resources (do not enable any) Test your site If all good, enable any 3rd party resources one at a time and test each time.
