We are trying to help as much as we can (note that typically server issues are outside of the scope of our support but we're trying to help you get running!).
As a summary
Jim noted that these kind of errors:
Error: Class 'IPS\File' not found (0) mean that the class couldn't be loaded, whether that's because the file is missing, the upload of it failed or PHP simply doesn't have permission to read the file.
You were able to re-upload the files and solve that issue. Great!
 
Then you experienced some further issues when trying to create a blog entry, some core PHP functions had been explicitly disabled by your web host, resulting in this error:
Error: Call to undefined function ctype_lower() (0)  
We haven't said that your MySQL server has an issue, or needs any remedial work. I do not know where this assumption has come from.
Now that you've confirmed that second issue is fixed, hopefully you should be all set and able to set up your Blog.
 
If you have any further issues, please do let us know.

Hot pink is missing. So disappointing.

Thank you for bringing this issue to our attention.
While the 1-hour expiration is intended now, I can confirm the issue with the link should be further reviewed and I've logged an internal bug report for our development team to investigate and address as necessary, in a future maintenance release.

The requirements checker has been updated to not prompt users of MariaDB to upgrade.

That error suggests the software itself is not using PHP7.4 but are you using the most-recent version of the compatibility checking script from our Marketplace?
And do you have more than one version of PHP available on the server? If you do, it's possible the server account running the software is using that version instead of 7.4
And is this a fresh install, or an upgrade you are doing? More details would help narrow the problem down.
 
 

Thank you for bringing this to our attention, I do see what you mean. I've flagged this topic for a Dev to check that.

Did you know that the choice field accepts html? 😉

It's in the widget:
 

 
 
 
 
 
Want to keep it to images in the first post of the topic? Upload the images, add them to the post, view the html, grab the <img.... tag out, fill your boots.

The Geriatrics

Now that I have my polo we could technically close the store.

Mostly we did it because I wanted a polo.

Just done that very thing..


Thanks for the help, guys. (Still learning)

You should be safe to restore just that one table from a very recent backup, then delete the one column in question, 'topicrules_texto'
Make sure not to remove any other columns.
 
EDIT: Replied too soon.
Glad to hear you got the problem sorted out.

As that is a third-party item, and not core functionality, I'll move the topic to the appropriate section.

That's the "Topic Summary Settings".
ACP -> Forums, Settings -> "Topic Summary Settings" subsection:

Because I hate it when folks say they've figured out their own issue but then don't share more detail that might help someone else solve their own similar problem, here are some more things that I hope will aid others.
First, as of version 4.6.10, this is found in the IPBoard Admin CP under Settings > Advanced Configuration > Server Environment > Tasks

 
I then just needed to go into my cron job on my server and update the string there.  Here's how it looks on my WHM managed server under the CPANEL for this particular website.

 
Once I did the above, my scheduled tasks began to run properly in IPB and the backlog of processes cleared up.
 

Bloomin' Americans!!! 😄
 
I've got bigger problems now, so I'll start up a new thread and try to forget this one ever existed. 😊

Please send an email reply to your ticket with that information, and correspond further in the ticket as needed. 🙂

Thank you ! Commerce is now installed. 😉

That 'access denied' error suggests that you may not have assigned the database user to the database, or that you did not copy down the database user name/password correctly.
If you create the DB in cPanel, at the bottom of that page are the controls to add a user to a DB.
Are you certain you've done so?

Incorrect key file for table 'ipbcore_rc_index'; try to repair it That error suggests you have a corrupted database table, which you or your host will need to repair using phpMyAdmin or command-line (SSH) tools such as the 'mysql' utility. Once it's been repaired, see if you still experience the error.

We do recommend setting the job to run every minute, which should be:
* * * * * /usr/local/php74/bin/php -d memory_limit=-1 -d max_execution_time=0 /PATH/TO/MY/IPB/applications/core/interface/task/task.php MYMD5HASHKEY >/dev/null 2>&1 rather than:
*/3 * * * * which would run every three minutes.
Doing it every 3 minutes might not hurt, but could possibly cause issues with some timed events.

That's not currently possible in our software, but as Miss_B noted this might be able to be done with a custom app.

It’s caused either by the size of the template or a specific variable inside the template, your host should be able to clarify this.
 
I‘m also currently working on some improvements to the error handling to return a more useful error message in such a case.

Glad to hear you got access. 🙂
