Some servers return errors with 777 permissions. Try using 644. Also I see the file owner is root, is it possible the other files are actually owned by a different user/group? A chmod might work as well.
-
Yes, it is valid for the current/latest version. That changelog without a date for the first entry in the dropdown is actually really confusing. You need to look at the Released XXX text under it instead, or on the right side column. It was last updated on July 21 (2022).
-
The best way is using the Requirements Checker: Otherwise there's also a requirements.json file in /applications/core/data. This is the content for 4.7.1: { "php": { "required": "7.4.0", "recommended": "8.0.0" }, "mysql": { "required": "5.5.3", "recommended": "5.6.2" } }
-
I guess the next step would be recounting the reputation then. Keep in mind that recounting the reputation will not consider deleted content. The option for it is in a bit of a weird location: Edit any random member in your ACP. Top-right you'll see REPUTATION LEVEL, click the arrow to open a dropdown menu and click Recount. A popup with 3 options will appear, click Recount for all members. Once the recount is done you may need to rebuild the leaderboard again. It the above still doesn't work there's most likely an issue with the conversion.
-
Auto ads have always caused problems in previous versions too. IPS recommends disabling them and manually placing the ads code in the ACP. -
Both values are hardcoded in the php backend. You'd need a custom modification to change them. Well, you could also edit the php file directly (as long as you're self-hosted) but you'd have to keep redoing the edit on each upgrade.
-
Is that an IPS application or a 3rd party one? Also have you recently upgraded your forum? I'll assume it it's a 3rd party one that most likely wasn't updated for the IPS version you're using. It must be quite old actually since forced CSRF was added quite a few versions ago. You should contact its developer for help.

The widget is not cached so it shouldn't happen. Are you viewing the page as a guest perhaps? It might be the guest output caching that's blocking you from seeing the change until the cache is refreshed.

Error 500 in messenger when PHP 8.0 turned on
teraßyte replied to Iwooo's topic in Technical Problems
Do you have any modifications installed? One of those might be incompatible with PHP 8.0 since it changed how parent classes in theme hooks are handled. Try disabling all modifications, switch to PHP 8 and see if the error is gone. If it is, re-enable the modifications 1 by 1 and check when the error appears again. After that contact the developer to let them know so that they can fix it. -
Hmm, sounds like something else is wrong then. Try checking the reactions in your ACP and see how many points they add every time one is used. Usually they're setup to add/remove 1 point (or 0 points). Maybe the conversion setup the points to a higher value? Or the conversion of the reputation table itself might have duplicates. Can't really tell much without being able to take a look directly.
-
That doesn't help much. What action where you doing exactly when you got the error?
-
As long as the TEST URL for the license in your client are is not already filled it should work. Just edit the license key in the ACP for the test forum. If it's already filled you should move the test forum to that url. Or alternatively you can try asking IPS to reset the test url for you.
-
No, it doesn't give any points.
-
It's a known bug with 4.7.x and PHP 8. Run the installer using PHP 7.4 and after that you can safely switch to PHP 8.
-
There is no default option to require a prefix before being able to submit a topic. This 3rd party modification can help however: The description mentions several things about forums and prefixes:
-
It's not really a question of when. Rather, do you need your users to be able to rate topics (from either 1 to 5 or 1 to 10 stars) on the forum? For example I've seen some sites using the rating function for a forum where topics are actually reviews of products and people vote the topic based on the review's quality. Do you have something similar that requires enabling the rating option? As for how it works: people can simply vote X stars but the voting itself doesn't really impact forum management. The only change is that you'd be able to order topics by total rating (or maybe filter by X stars; I can't recall right now).
-
When entering the license key on the test site add -TESTINSTALL at the end. That way it will be recognized as the test site.
-
Yeah that seems a tiny bit wrong. 😅 Go in ACP > Members > MEMBER SETTINGS > Reputation & Reactions > Leaderboard TAB. Under the setting's description for either Exclude these groups or Leaderboard timezone there is a link to rebuild the leaderboard.
-
Are you using the Google account's password to connect to SMTP perhaps? Google recently changed how smtp/pop/imap connections work (Oauth2). You need to generate a new/separate application password if you haven't already done so.
-
Most likely the table's file on disk doesn't have the slash and that's why you get the error about the table already existing. Instead of an empty prefix try using a different prefix like ipb_ or anything else really. That should solve your renaming issue. After the rename to ipb_tableName you should also be able to just change it back to tableName alone, too.
-
Yeah, a bit more info on what kind of help you need would be better to understand your request. For example: do you need help only updating the forum or also other 3rd party modifications? If you don't want to post it here for everyone to see be sure to include it if you contact someone. And, as Miss_B already mentioned, it's also possible to hire someone else to do the upgrade for you. IPS even has an IPS Legacy Upgrades option in its Providers list in order to filter people who can specifically help with those: https://invisioncommunity.com/third-party/providers/?csrfKey=459adc615725b502b90da72ac661bcf0&advanced_search_submitted=1&sortby=primary_id_field&sortdirection=asc&content_field_124[1]=9

Yes, I've seen some sites hit upgrade errors about the index being too large or similar errors. This is a quote from the MySQL site: Tu sum it up the DYNAMIC format is basically a better version of the COMPACT format. There are no cons, only pros. 🙂
-
There aren't any issues usually. I always switch Compact tables to Dynamic ones, especially when I upgrade old forums. A backup before messing with the database is always a good idea though so be sure to do it. 👍 And if you don't want to lose any data you can simply switch offline the site temporarily until all the tables are updated and you confirm everything is okay. That way you won't lose anything if you have to restore the backup.
-
That sfs prefix calls to mind Stop Forum Spam. I've seen that column recently on a forum I upgraded from 3.4 to 4.6. Do you have an application like that installed? If you do try contacting its developer.
-
As long as you are self-hosted that's an option. You can download the folders and check for specific code like licenseKey() or to see if there's code that switches the offline setting. If you're unsure of what to search, or how, it's also possible to hire a 3rd party developer to review the code of all your apps. A list of developers available for hire can be found here: https://invisioncommunity.com/third-party/providers/
