After update with PHP 8.0

[A.G.]

Hi,

after the last update with PHP 8.0 have a problem with the forum.

Also i cant login into the forum.

 

any ideas ?

Use the Recovery Mode:

It will disable all 3rd-party resources. Probably one of them is outdated.

Hi,

HTTP ERROR 500

 

Any ideas ?

Check your server error logs in the first instance, as that will tell you exactly what the internal server error is

This is something your host will have to assist with as it depends on how your server is setup/configured.

PHP Version is at fault, are you sure you have php 8.0 selected in cpanel?!

I would be inclined to agree with the above. It doesnt actually look like its using PHP 8 at all there

[A.G.]

Hi,

this is my Server config. You see i run PHP 8.0.
Cann anybody login in my Forum see where is the Problem ?

 

Thanks

You seem to have missed one of the points there. You need to enable recovery mode as was mentioned above. I realise you cannot log into admin now, however once enabling recovery, it will disable the ability for 3rd party items to run.

Hi,

i can't enable recovery mode.
You can login in my forum, you have my admin data and pass.

Could you please elaborate why you are unable to do so? You would need to apply the constant in the constants.php file and then attempt to login to your ACP. If all is done correctly, you should be able to login and it will disable all third party items.

Hi,
i try the constants.php but nothing. I can't login in my Forum.

This is the edited constants.php:

Hi. Remove above to recovery <?php 

[A.G.]

Hi, 

like this ?

[Jim M]

That should work but if you have a custom admin directory, you'll want to keep that by removing just the <?php on this line:

[MadGorilla]

hmmmm I made a constants.php file in my forums directory...

 

added this

<?php
\define('CP_DIRECTORY’,’the admin changed name went here’);

\define( ‘RECOVERY_MODE’, ‘TRUE’ );

 

and my whole site went blank white yikessss help please

[Jim M]

Is there a reason why you're enabling recovery mode? TRUE should also be a bool instead of a string (aka, remove the single quotes around TRUE)

Ok, and no i dont need recovery mode yikes. I did remove that whole line...

\define( ‘RECOVERY_MODE’, ‘TRUE’ );

 

and tried it and still my site went completely white. Using my new admins name of course. thanks for reply

[A.G.]

Ok thank you all.
Preblem solved.

Steps to do:

1. find and eding constants.php 
2. edit the constants.php to (for my only recovery mode):

 

Quote

 

<?php
\define( 'CP_DIRECTORY', 'my admin location' );  // this is only for me cause i change the main admin location

 \define( 'RECOVERY_MODE', 'TRUE' );

 

After that, you can access the admin panel (just login normaly)
Try to disable step by step the plugins.

After that and if the forum is working again without issues edit constants.php in this:
 

Quote

 

<?php
\define( 'CP_DIRECTORY', 'my admin location' );  // this is only for me cause i change the main admin location

// \define( 'RECOVERY_MODE', 'TRUE' );

 

Done, everything is working again.

Thank you all for your Help !
