Marc Posted February 9, 2023 Posted February 9, 2023 Its base_url you should have, which appears to be missing from the list there, unless its further down

SeNioR- Posted February 9, 2023 Posted February 9, 2023 @Marcel_merged May I ask why you have so many outdated variables in conf_global 🙂? IPS supports only: return array( 'sql_host', 'sql_database', 'sql_user', 'sql_pass', 'sql_port', 'sql_socket', 'sql_tbl_prefix', 'sql_utf8mb4', 'board_start', 'installed', 'base_url', 'guest_group', 'member_group', 'admin_group' );

Marcel_merged Posted February 10, 2023 Author Posted February 10, 2023 Thanks for the input guys. Not great at this as it is not my background and kind of got forced into this. I appreciate all your help. Can you give me some more info as to what needs updated? I just got done updating to the latest version v4.7.7. Again, thanks for the help.

Marcel_merged Posted February 10, 2023 Author Posted February 10, 2023 Referring to the comment "Easy....upgrade from MUCH older versions" What needs "upgraded"?
Nathan Explosion Posted February 10, 2023 Posted February 10, 2023 (edited) Just now, Marcel_merged said: Referring to the comment "Easy....upgrade from MUCH older versions" What needs "upgraded"? Nothing. A question was asked about why you had content other than the current defaults in your conf_global.php...the answer is what you quoted. Edited February 10, 2023 by Nathan Explosion
Marcel_merged Posted February 10, 2023 Author Posted February 10, 2023 Thank you, I understand. Is there a reason to "delete" content other than defaults?
Marc Posted February 10, 2023 Posted February 10, 2023 Not really. If you are sorted now, I would leave them alone Randy Calvert and Marcel_merged 1 1
Marcel_merged Posted February 11, 2023 Author Posted February 11, 2023 Not sure this question is worth a new topic. Like I wrote before, this is not my background, I'm helping out the best I can, and I appreciate the advice. We are "running" PHP 8.0.24. I see that the current version is 8.2. Are there good reasons to ask my host to update to 8.1 or 8.2 other than end of life support? Everything has been running good on our site for a few days now, don't want to mess anything up, but I do want to try to avoid a future problem is that is the case. Kind regards

Kind regards PHP 8.2 is not yet supported by our software so that one is a hard no till it is 🙂 . PHP 8.1 is supported by our software so the small benefits in performance, security, improvements, bug fixes, etc... are really up to you if it's worth switching. PHP 8.0 is only in security support so won't be receiving anything else at this point. It will be in EOL in November of this year so still time to upgrade to PHP 8.1 if you want to pause and enjoy your site for a little bit since you just went through a little bit of a headache here 🙂 .
