Niels Provos Posted May 5, 2023 Posted May 5, 2023 I am trying to upgrade the forum but discovered that this seems to be impossible. I am currently on 4.7.1 which does not support PHP 8.0 and the automated upgrade path only works if PHP 8.0 is installed. So, I am not in a situation where there is no possible path forward for the upgrade. Here is the error message when switching to a newer PHP. Quote Error: Call to undefined function create_function() (0) #0 [...]public_html/conf_global.php(172): IPB_Firewall::_calculateChecksums(Array, 0) #1 [...]public_html/conf_global.php(144): IPB_Firewall::_doSecurityChecks() #2 [...]public_html/conf_global.php(376): IPB_Firewall::run() #3 [...]public_html/system/Dispatcher/Dispatcher.php(69): require('/home/customer/...') #4 [...]public_html/admin/index.php(13): IPS\_Dispatcher::i() #5 {main} The forum does not run any third-party extensions or plugins. What's the solution?
