Good morning folks.

Just an observation, and an issue I'll have to address before switching to V5

Getting prepared for V5 per the admin notifications, I had switched successfully to PHP8.1.32 as V5 requires 8.1 and above, lately I saw another "getting ready for V5", Push Notifications, I clicked on "Fix This" and the following message was launched:

Web Push Unavailable
Unfortunately, your server does not have the GMP PHP extension installed. Please contact your host or consider switching to Invision Cloud Community which has Web Push Notifications enabled.

I went to my server and looked at my PHP and did not see GMP available on 8.1. So I contacted my host and they moved me back to 8.0 ( I could of done that), that fixed the Push issue, but V5 does not like 8.0. So I went in and found that 8.2 does have GMP, so I switched to 8.2 but my community went off line with PHP8.2.

Any guidance is appreciated to get my community compatible with 8.2. Thanks!

Ok, I thunk out of the box for a minute, rare for me to do. I simply moved up to PHP8.3 and that fixed it. 8.3 has GMP, and my community runs fine on 8.3. But not 8.2. So, fixed!

You cant get your community compatible with 8.2 on version 4. If your hosting company cant correct the GMP issue on 8.1, you would need to await your upgrade to version 5. Once you're on version 5, you can switch to PHP 8.2.

Maybe try sudo apt install php8.1-gmp from the command line to get GMP installed to give you some time to figure out the 8.2 issue.

Hi @JohnCourt,

Do you need/want push notifications?

I am on Invision Community Version 5.0.7 and PHP 8.2.28 and my community is running flawlessly.

If they are using shared hosting they may not have the ability to do what you are suggesting. Not many shared hosts give that ability.
