I would recommend upgrading your IPB version and PHP version. PHP7 is end of life and does not get support from its authors anymore.  There are also security updates that are known in the older versions.  If one of those are exploited on your site, there will not be much anyone can do to help you. 

If you absolutely simply cannot upgrade, I would HIGHLY recommend you have really good backups and that you actually test that you can recover from a backup. 

Thanks everyone.  The problem is the arcade that is part of the site needs zend encoder and on shared hosting they will not upgrade the zend to the version to go with 8.x php as it is a shared machine or so they tell me.  So when we quit working we will change platform to SMF as it has its own arcade and built in support for current php versions.  I keep backups of the complete site however, will not be of much use as we will have to go to our backup plan.  I have been a user of multiple IPB licenses since the first FREE version of IPB.  I will surely miss using it. The site does not make money and the owner I maintain the site for cannot afford VPS and even if they could do not have teh technical knowledge to maintain it. Would be awesone if they would enable zend version that supported php 8.x then we would surely upgrade to current versions of eveyrthing.

Running 4.73 and it indeed does run on php 7.4.  I recopied the files and it all came back up and is running fine thanks

I had two IPB sites on a shared account host primary domain was running latest IPB with php 8.2.  Second account older IPB which runs under 7.3 php both working fine.  I had the host remove the one domain and make the older domain running php 7.3 the primary.  Once that was completed the site was trying to load from the original domain that was in the public_html folder.  So I copied all the files and subdirectories under the public_html folder edited the conf_global.php to reflect the changes and site still does not load but the error log shows below.

PHP Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Class 'IPS\Dispatcher' not found in /home3/www/public_html/init.php:1018 Stack trace: #0 [internal function]: IPS\IPS::exceptionHandler(Object(Error)) #1 {main} thrown in /home3/www/public_html/init.php on line 1018

I did disabe all third party apps from the ACP and customizations and that did the trick thanks everyone

I looked at the tables and they both have the data for members and groups and match the database from original location in size and data

When I click on Members I get the following

OutOfRangeException:  (0)

Hi @mtalks,

This may have been overlooked as we were way too excited getting 4.7.4 Beta 1 ready!

I'll follow this up to ensure it is ironed out for anyone else that may be experiencing the same issue.

I have redirected my site for now

@Gary Does that mean a fix or do I just need to go ahead and close the site?

This is from the client center.  Was gonna shut down end of December anyway

4.7.4 Beta 1

well that is bad on me.  I thought it was not until November release.  I will probably just go ahead and take my site offline, not gonna go through all that trouble thanks

Running PHP 7.4

Version 4.7.4 Beta 1
Latest upgrade is displaying - Return value of IPS\Db\_Select::key() must be an instance of IPS\Db\mixed, int returned

Yes I did want the rule to promote and that has been working,  Did not realize I had them set to purchase anything so it must be doing it for Members+ as well.  Will check and fix.  Thanks for you help I have it all straightened out.  The extra eyes always helps

maybe i selected the wrong one it is the .com

i just changed that

And just confirmed it is working as well

I apologize I corrected the information in the correct place to include ftp etc.

If a user asks me to delete their account i oblige them.  I just delete it for them in the ACP

TestUser - Member +

Testing - Newbie

Good morning,

I was recently making changes to some member groups.  I have a group named Newbie and and when a new registration is attempted they get a registration email and when you click the link it does take you to the site however.

1. Only shows the site advertisement, menu but no matter the link clicked in the menu it always goes to the STORE.  This happens even if I manually create an account.
2. Old members in that group still access the site like normal no changes.
3. I have a rule for default account going to newbie group and after they post 1 message it changes them to Member +

1 plug in was causing the issues

We did a install aster testing the Invision Community v4.6.11 Beta 1 and the default theme is displaying incorrectly. All the items that should be the sidebar are at the bottom of the forum.  stacked on top of each other.  If I turn them off the forum looks ok but when I refresh the screen (even after clearing system cache and local cache it comes right back)  There is only the default them installed at the moment and I downloaded a clean copy of the default them from test site.  Logon details for the site are current in client profile.

Along those lines the site gets an http 500 error.  But when Oldcrow or myself try to send a support ticket it tells me email support is no longer available (it has expired)  And the link says click here to add it to your account?

I will get him to give me cpanel access so I can look thanks.  In the meantime what is this and is there a file I can remove so the site comes up but and will show me the upgrade or at least the acp

During an upgrade  it stopped and is now displaying:  

• Upgrade Status
  • status: 8
  • Application: core
  • Current Version: Not set

When you rerun it (I manually ftp'ed the files and and started the upgrade again and it goes for approximately 6-10 seconds and then

xxxxx.com is currently unable to handle this request.
