Hello,

 

Trying to upgrade my site to 4.7.14 from 4.3. I'm getting an immediate error 500 upon trying to enter the .../admin/upgrade area.

 

Are you running PHP 8.0 or 8.1? And if so, have you run the requirements checker to ensure all is well?

Set PHP 8.0 and check if that helps.

Hello,

 

Thank you for your replies.

 

PHP is currently set to 8.2

I tried running the ips4.php file and still get an error.

I don't know if it matters, but all my .htaccess file contains is:

 

RewriteEngine on

 

???

 

PHP 8.2 is not supported yet. You will need to downgrade to PHP 8.0 or 8.1. What is the error you get when running ips4.php compatibility checker?

Okay - yes I went back to 8.0.

 

I get this:

 

Okay, perhaps this is related to the fact that the engine root is under 'public_html'.

The index file is is trying to run \Dispatcher\Front from an empty directory

 

\IPS\Dispatcher\Front::i()->run();

 

Should I just point it to \System\Dispatcher\Front::i()->run();

?

No - you should not make any changes like that, because your assumption that IPS\ = a directory is very wrong

Do not touch that! 😛

Try PHP 8.1 maybe?

lol

okay okay I understand.

 

switching to PHP 8.1 did the trick.
