angle4cor Posted April 12, 2023 Share Posted April 12, 2023 (edited) Hello, My board is not working: Quote An error occurred (500 Error) We're sorry, but a temporary technical error has occurred which means we cannot display this site right now. You can try again by clicking the button below, or try again later. When I am trying to enter the ACP, I am getting this: Quote An error occurred (500 Error) We're sorry, but a temporary technical error has occurred which means we cannot display this site right now.syntax error, unexpected '->' (T_OBJECT_OPERATOR) You can try again by clicking the button below, or try again later. I've made an update to the newest version 3 days ago and everything was working fine until today. Could you help me to solve this issue?

angle4cor Posted April 12, 2023 Author Share Posted April 12, 2023 I can’t edit my earlier post, but just wanted to add that my board is based on PHP 8.0 and I haven’t been changing nor installing anything new since the update took place 3 days ago.

angle4cor Posted April 12, 2023 Author Share Posted April 12, 2023 I've updated the PHP version to 8.1 and now its working. Weird, I thought 8.0 was supported. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's funny I had the opposite thing happen the other day. I was on 8.1 and had to drop down to 8.0 to get it to work. There sure seems to be a lot of 500 Error threads lately, which all seem somewhat related to php. 🤷♂️ angle4cor 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is supported. A 500 error is very generic. It's like a check engine light on your car. It does not say what the problem is just that something went wrong. Part of good security is not exposing errors publicly. This means instead of saying for example the server ran out of memory, you could get that error. It also means you could be missing a PHP module and get that message. There are TONS of things that could cause the problem and none of them directly related. It's just a way of saying "uhhh it's broke". 🙂 angle4cor 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MNOfficial Posted April 14, 2023 Share Posted April 14, 2023 (edited) I have this issue after updating today; board worked on mobile but now, via desktop, it does not work. AdminCP is still accessible, though. I tried going from PHP 8.1 to PHP 8.0, and that did not work, either.

Randy Calvert Posted April 14, 2023 Share Posted April 14, 2023 Disable all your third party resources (plugins and applications). If that does not work, pull your server’s error logs (not inside of IPB… the server error logs themselves). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does that mean those third-party resources need to be updated or re-installed to work again? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randy Calvert Posted April 14, 2023 Share Posted April 14, 2023 One of them is your problem. So you might try turning them on one by one till you find your problem. Once you do… you can hopefully work with the author to fix it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Randy Calvert Posted April 15, 2023 Share Posted April 15, 2023 I’m sorry to hear that. Hopefully you can find something similar then. 😞 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angle4cor Posted October 3, 2023 Author Share Posted October 3, 2023 I can't access my board again with the same error as descibed in the first post. I havent been installing anything new in the last few weeks and everything worked fine. It might be a no longer supported widget/app, but I can't access the admin panel either to turn these off. I dont have access to the server to check its error logs currently (sharing the board with someone else who I wont be able to reach within the next few weeks). I do have access to ftp though, so would it be possible to find some error logs there? I wouldnt like to keep my board offline for the next few weeks. Is there anything I can do? I am using the newest IPS version and PHP 8.1. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
