Invision Community 4: SEO, prepare for v5 and dormant account notifications Matt November 11, 2024Nov 11
Posted February 24, 20232 yr I'm currently using the Community Version 4.6.9 and would like to migrate to the newest 4.7.7 My current PHP version is 7.4 When trying to switch to version 8.0 or 8.1 in order to perform the Community upgrade, I receive the 500 error in my Community: I have only standard plugins enabled, but disabling them does not resolve the problem. My community 4.6.9 works with PHP versions from 7.1 to 7.4, but with PHP versions enbaled that are greater than 7.4 or before 7.1, I receive 500 error So I can not perform any upgrade 😞 Anyone can help please? Thank you so much in advance
February 24, 20232 yr Community Expert If you upgrade to 8 (which you have to) you then need to run the upgrade manually by uploading a fresh set of files from your client area, and running the upgrade at /admin/upgrade . This is because the version you are on doesn't support PHP 8 so the automatic upgrader would be unavailable until that point
February 24, 20232 yr Author Thank you Marc, Can you give more precise instructions please, how to upgrade from client area (my account on invisioncommunity.com?)
February 24, 20232 yr Community Expert You do not upgrade from your client area. You download your files from your client area. Please see the following which has more information https://invisioncommunity.com/4guides/welcome/install-and-upgrade-r259/
