johnnysfight Posted June 10, 2023 Share Posted June 10, 2023 You are running PHP version 7.4.33. You need PHP 8.0.0 or above. You should contact your hosting provider or system administrator to ask for an upgrade. Hello, I am trying to upgrade ip.board which requires php 8. When I set php to version 8 I receive a server 500 errors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Zayed Posted June 10, 2023 Share Posted June 10, 2023 In this case you have to upgrade manually. See section "Manual Upgrade" here: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Solution Daniel F Posted June 10, 2023 Solution Share Posted June 10, 2023 1. Make sure that the mbstring module is installed and available on your server/webspace http://www.php.net/manual/en/mbstring.installation.php 2. You'll have to uninstall the rules application which hadn't any upgrades since 2019 johnnysfight 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
