Howdy folks, hoping to get some help here soon, I attempted the latest upgrade and my site went to this page: https://thepatriotwoodworker.com/main/

Screenshot below, showing where it's stuck at, it's been this way for about 5 minutes, any help is greatly appreciated 🙂

I tried visiting the upgrade process again but to no avail.

So, here is what happened. At the server requirement check, I received the message at the bottom of the page that my php version 8.0 is supported but recommend php8.1 is preferred, paraphrasing of course.

So I went into my server and changed to php8.1 and the started the upgrade and it was stuck on the page as shown in screenshot above. I could not even access my admin.

So I changed back to php8.0 and I was able to access admin and start the upgrade over again and it completed, so changing to php8.1 seemed to be the issue.

 

You probably have some 3rd-party app/plugin outdated, that’s why it doesn’t work on 8.1.

I would disable all 3rd-party resources and enable PHP 8.1 just to make a test.

Adriano, a couple applications needed updating, so I did, and updated php to 8.1 and site became inaccessible. I renabled 8.0 and went back into admin and disabled all plugins and customization's and enabled 8.1 and site became inaccessible again.  I am not sure what to do at this point, for now 8.0 works fine, but eventually I am going to have to dig in and figure this out, thanks for the tip Adriano. 🙂

Have you used the requirements checker after switching to PHP 8.1? It's possible that some required modules are not enabled.

Im not seeing your site in mid upgrade there. Did you manage to resolve this one, John?

Kind of sort of Marc, I switched back to php8.0 and everything worked fine, thus why you're not seeing my issue. But after reading terabyte's suggestion above, I'll give that a whirl and see if that'll fix my problem for going to php8.1.

You should be using 8 rather than 8.1

Thanks for that Marc, I can rest easy then, nothing for me to do just now 🙂

It is a tad confusing, because in the admin for issues to fix, it is recommended to switch to 8.1.

I think Mark was thinking of PHP 8.2 when he replied. Anyway, while IPS has started recommending 8.1 with 4.7.15, there's no hurry to upgrade just now. 🙂

 

You can take your time and figure out the issue.

I'm blaming Friday. It is Friday, right?

@Marc Stridgen You're safe. It's Friday!
