February 9, 20232 yr Community Expert Line 32 is correct, right, other than clearing system cache from the CP, this is all I need to do? Correct. After clearing cache, the system will handle everything.
February 9, 20232 yr Community Expert Its base_url you should have, which appears to be missing from the list there, unless its further down
February 9, 20232 yr Author Its base_url you should have, which appears to be missing from the list there, unless its further down That is line 32, right? Show in the above attachment.
February 9, 20232 yr Community Expert That is line 32, right? Show in the above attachment. Correct. Both board_url or base_url are accepted. board_url is typically from older installations.
February 9, 20232 yr @Marcel_merged May I ask why you have so many outdated variables in conf_global 🙂?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' );
February 10, 20232 yr Author 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.
February 10, 20232 yr Community Expert Can you give me some more info as to what needs updated? Are you referring to what needs to be removed from your conf_global or something else?
February 10, 20232 yr Author Referring to the comment "Easy....upgrade from MUCH older versions" What needs "upgraded"?
February 10, 20232 yr 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, 20232 yr by Nathan Explosion
February 10, 20232 yr Author Thank you, I understand. Is there a reason to "delete" content other than defaults?
February 11, 20232 yr Author 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 🙂 .
