Thanks! If anyone else stumbles over this issue: the session path was overwritten in the .htaccess file. How the line got in there, I have no idea. But I doubt that it was done by Invision.

I'm getting error 4S109/5 during upgrade: We were unable to start a PHP session. You will need to contact your host to adjust your PHP configuration before you can continue. The error reported was: session_start(): Failed to read session data: files (path: /var/cpanel/php/sessions/ea-php72) I noticed that the path is incorrect though. It should be ea-php74, since PHP 7.4 is installed. I did check in php.ini, and directly on the server, and can confirm that ea-php74 is correct. It looks to me that the upgrade routine fetches the path from somewhere else, and not from php.ini. I already tried re-installing PHP 7.2 with the same config as I now have on PHP 7.4, but it still doesn't work (server error 500, likely due to depracated PHP functions). My next idea was to find the location where this path is configured, and overwrite it manually to ea-php74, but couldn't find it. So unless there's some other idea how to fix this, I could need some help finding the place where to overwrite the path. (It would still be a workaround though. To fix properly, the upgrade routine needs to fetch the session data path from PHP configuration.)

Yes, it's confirmed 😞

Sorry about the confusion. The donations that came in without fees were done by users sending "personal payments". Payments coming through the button, although they're donations, are subject to fees in the Netherlands. 😠 Shame on PayPal.

Netherlands. I can receive donations with a manually created button though.

It would be great to have the donations actually sent as donations, so that the recipient wouldn't have to pay any PayPal fees.

Hello Mike, I have just enabled it back so you can test it. Thanks.

Paypal is setup to convert every currency to US Dollars. Default currency is US Dollar. Do you know what will I get/loose with Business account? Paypal isn't very clear about that..

If I remember correctly I had this issue while I was using v3.x of IP Board and your donation sidebar. I think that I was able to receive funds when I was using my primary e-mail address, but this time I am unable to receive funds through Donation Sidebar no matter what e-mail I choose. All emails are confirmed. But, I was able to use subscriptions on IPB 3.x without any issues. I have found out on the Google that some accounts have the Donate option when creating a paypal button, but I don't. I have subscribtions and that's probably the reason why subscriptions work normally. Here is both screenshots, one from the user that has subscriptons and the other screenshot from my paypal. Do I need Business instead of Premier account on Paypal.? Can Donates Sidebar be changed so it has link to subscriptions instead? From the info found here, it seems like I need a business account.. https://developer.paypal.com/docs/classic/paypal-payments-standard/integration-guide/donation_buttons/#id08AAF0F104Y

Hi, my account email is validated and as mentioned I can receive funds if you use Paypal to send me funds (Send money) without issues. It is a premier account.. I quite don't understand question 3. I have also checked link you provided but it didn't help

Thanks for the move AndyF. I presumed I've posted it in the wrong section.

I've noticed significant increase in speed once I moved from 3.0.2 to 3.0.3. It really can be faster??? Runs to upgrade.. I've just noticed that this discussion went in hooks direction, so my comment is irrelevant :)

Ahh, yup, my fault. No rush with it.

I think that Matt said that SM will be available in about 2 weeks after IPB v3.0 is released.

Someone said, I think it was Matt, that it will be a silent release so servers can hold all those requests. It will be announced in a couple of days, I'm sure..
