Trying to install the update from my location (not at the server location) and I get the following error:

"There was an error downloading the files to your server"

My hoster tells me his log is showing:

Thu, 25 Jan 2024 08:55:18 +0000

Exception::0

Could not list the files in the zip

#0 /home/rhocar/public_html/admin/upgrade/extract.php(643): Extractor->extract(0)

#1 {main}

We have downloaded the zip file and that file is definately present.

Any thoughts ?

You have downloaded the zip that is had pulled from our servers, and this will not open? I ask as it doesnt appear to be stating its not present, but rather it cant list what is in it

No, we have manually doenloaded the ZIP file and it opens correctly and everythinmg appears to be there.  When the host tech support have a few minutes to spare (he's a one-man band and very busy) he will try and install it manually by inserting the files.   I just wondered if there was simple fix we could do enable me to do it remotely via the usual offical automatic route.

This is the screen I get at Step 4 of the installation process.

Typically a server issue when something like this. Can ensure your server is compatible, otherwise, you would need to check why your server is having issues extracting the zip.

 

Thanks, I'll let you know the resuls.    As we were happyliy running it before, I assume my host must have changed something.

If it is all green there, then you would need to work with your hosting provider.

Nope.

8.0 or 8.1

Yeah. As I mentioned a few times already, the check script should flag the 8.2 version as not compatible rather than checking only for 8.0+ versions... 😅

My community runs on php 8.3.2. I haven't noticed any issue so far.

That's who gave me those results I'm afraid.

Is 8.3 a problem then ?

Yes. The code is not fully compatible with 8.2, so it's the same for any version higher than that.

Sorry for the bump, but I'd like to confirm that PHP v8.2 works fine, whilst v8.3 (still) doesn't. Why isn't this issue being addressed or documented?

In the next release, there will be an indication when you're running a PHP version higher than is compatible. PHP 8.2 will be compatible in the next major release (version 5).
