My forum has nothing of value. My Invision Community is as new as if I had installed it 10 minutes ago. When you're talking about MySQL 8.0 it is not PHP? The reason I ask is my PHP is 1.2.7 and MySQL would be jumping up to about the same version number. Are we talking about 2 different items or have I got it confused that we're talking about one item, PHP? In other words, MySQL and PHP are one of the same? 

It just doesn't make sense that SiteGround would be stuck at MySQL5.7.44-48-log.

If this MySQL is EOL what takes its place?

After I completed the update to 4.7.16 I got the following Error:
Server Requirements

Your server does not meet our recommendations. This may prevent you from upgrading to future versions of Invision Community.

-You are running MySQL version 5.7.44-48-log. While this version is compatible, future releases of our software will --require version 8.0.13 or above.

You should contact your hosting provider or system administrator and ask them to resolve these issues.

I just started to update to 4.7.16 And found this:

MySQL Requirements
MySQL version 5.7.44-48-log.
Recommendations

None of these items are required in order to continue with the upgrade right now. However, they may affect how your community works or be required in future upgrades. You should make a note of them and contact your hosting provider or system administrator after the upgrade to address them. You can re-run these checks later from the Support section of the Administrator Control Panel.

You are running MySQL version 5.7.44-48-log. While this version is compatible, we recommend version 8.0.13 or above

So it seems to me we are both OK.
Bob

>>beats23<<

Are you using SiteGround?
Bob

My cron is now running every minute. And my PHP is 8.1.27. But my MySQL is 5.7.44-48-log. SiteGround said that is the way it is for now. Where does that leave me with Invision Community software?

Bob

Why am I getting the "Maintenance Task not Running"?

>>Nathan Explosion<<
Yes. Version PHP 8.0.30

My PHP VERSION IS SET MANUALLY (Not sure what that means).

Bob

This is the response from my Provider.
 

SiteGround Check Thank you for contacting our Help Desk!

I checked the server logs and I can confirm that the cron command is being executed every 30 minutes. Here are the server logs that confirm that:

If this is not the expected result, consult with your developer and see whether the cron command needs to be adjusted.

I created a cron per the error message I got from Invision. My provider, SiteGround, says it is running, cron. Invistion says it is not. This is the error:

You should set the cron to run the following command every minute:

/usr/local/php80/bin/php -d memory_limit=-1 -d max_execution_time=0 /home/customer/www/mySite/public_html/applications/core/interface/task/task.php 29eb6f039e43b68b4ae33156cb778ac2

I created the cron many months ago, second or third time. SiteGround says the cron is running. I would like to start running the site. I have had it for many years and still, I'm at the cron stage.

What to do.
Bob

/usr/local/php80/bin/php -d memory_limit=-1 -d max_execution_time=0 /home/customer/www/home2000.com/public_html/applications/core/interface/task/task.php 29eb6f039e43b68b4ae33156cb778ac2tomer/www/home2000.com/public_html/applications/core/interface/task/task.php 29eb6f039e43b68b4ae33156cb778ac2

I have 3 top Menu selections on my www.home2000 website, home2000  Amerifax, and Wisconsin.

I would like them to each have a separate forum and gallery plus there unique menu (Amerifax & home2000. Is that possible, and if yes how? Or is there a way to have a menu that can group as if separate entities? I hope that makes sense.

Bob

I have one home2000.com, Invision Forum. I hope that if the user uses home2000.com and has a suitable membership, the menu system will display a menu system that is unique to this membership. If the uses a different URL, amerifax@com, the menu system would be different.

www.home2000.com - The menu display would be something like this.

• home2000  Forum  Gallery  Browser

amerifax@gmail.com - The menu display would be something like this.

• Amerifax  Forum  Gallery  Browser  Events

Bob Snow
www.home2000.com

I need a better understanding of how the menu system works.

1.  I have 2 URLs to access my home2000.com site.

• home2000.com - Its home page should have its own look (describing its function) and menu system.
• amerifax.com - Its home page should have its own look (describing its function) and menu system.

2. How do the menus work. As I see it the top menu calls the Second layer of menus. 
Top Menu: home2000  Amerifax  Wisconsin  Bob  Browse  Activity
Called Memu: Clubs  Forums  Blogs  Events  Articles  Downloads  Gallery Staff  OtherUsers  Leaderboard.  As I See it  "home2000" calls and shows Called menu.

• How to set up a menu to display only what I need, eliminate from display leaderboard Stadd ECT.
• Have the selected item go to te selection. 
• Am I going to the item page selected or moving it to the home page? If I have a choice what would be the best way to do it?

Bob
home2000.com

home2000

I'm developing my first menu with Invision Community v4.7.9. My Main Menu, level one, is
home2000, Amerifax, Wisconsin, Bob, Browser

The browser has a second level with Clubs, Forums, Blogs, etc. I want my first level to have its own Clubs, Forums, etc. How can I add them to my first level and with their own data?

New Account - Stop new registering

I want to manually register anyone that comes to the site, at least for now. I'm getting a lot of junk registering. How can I prevent this?

Bob

Not sure if it matters, for Interval I used the following:
Once Per Day.

Bob

I no longer see the "Error Notifications" message in my Admin CP. It's been some time since I addressed this issue. The issue was I don't  have enough users on the site. I was advised to correct the issue by doing the following. The Cron file seems to be the only remaining issue. The site tech, location of my home2000.com, helped me with this.  The Cron file could not be created, see following notes (Item 1).

1. According to the documentation, the following command should be set as a Cron Job:
php80 /home/u1169-mijchxsppju3/www/home2000.com/public_html/applications/core/interface/task/task.php

However, when I executed it manually, it failed with the following error: baseos | u1169-mijchxsppju3@us57.siteground.us:~/www/home2000.com/public_html$ php80 /home/u1169-mijchxsppju3/www/home2000.com/public_html/applications/core/interface/task/task.php
Incorrect key

2. Also these changes where made. Two of the warnings concern the PHP environment: 
Dangerous PHP Functions Enabled
Public Display of PHP Errors Enabled

I created a php.ini file in www/home2000.com/public_html and added the following rules to the file:
display_errors = Off
disable_functions = exec,passthru,shell_exec,system,proc_open,popen,pcntl_exec

Is this satisfactory, Item 2, for avoiding displaying 2 PHP warnings?

Bob

> I would work with your host to see if they can run the recommended cron job. <<
Isn't cron turned on in my settings?

My site has been fixed. They did come back, my provided, and get it. I will contact them about cron. My Admin Notifications mention turning something off until mourning.  Is that still important since it is kind of mourning and also no real activity? Thanks again for the response.

Bob

I have received the following errors on my 2-week-old partially installed website. The more I read the more confused I get, all on me. Is there any video out there in regard to this? Invision has good info on the subject, I am just drawing a blank. I'm using the most recent Invision Community, Self-Hosting. I should be using the Invision Cloud, then no issues.

Here are the issues that I was told it would be smart to fix on my site:

Administrator Notifications
Maintenance Tasks Not Running
Dangerous PHP Functions Enabled
Public Display of PHP Errors Enabled

Also, Maintenance Tasks Not Running. I think I have a handle on that one.

I have talked to my host provider, which has been very helpful in regard to my issues. But every time I talk about this issue I just confuse them more, all on me. And it helps no one in the fact, I don't know any code. At ALL. If there is no Video out there then when I learn I'll create. That's my area of technique, not programming.

What to use for email?

• SiteGround, my hosting account, offers something called Webmail.
• Envision Community has a lot to consider under System-Email Settings.
• Do I need both of these. Or if there is only one that I need which one is my best advantage?

Some of my friends will use my email, friend@ome2000.com, as they would currently use a Gmail account. friend@gmail.com. I would receive emails from users of my forum addressed to me as support@ome2000.com. I also would use me@home2000.com the same way I would use Gmail.

So based on this maybe you could help me decide which is the best way to go.

I also might want m emails to go to m Gmail account, chrome, possibly. As I understand it the SiteGround-Webmail might have similar functions as Gmail?

Bob

amerifax@gmail.com.

My next project was to add a new user called "sysop" with admin privileges.

I'm using a video Video Tip: Create a homepage in under 5 minutes using Pages

I got to the point to use Page builder. It said I don't have the right to use it.

How can I change to admin?

Bob

I thought it be best to let all that supported me here know I'm up and running. What took me a week should have been an hour. My biggest problem was me.
Thanks for all the help.
