Thanks @Marc Stridgen I'll definitely try PHP 8.0 before updating. Like I mentioned above PHP 8.1 makes my CPU resources spike that much that my server is unusable and I can't update. Fingers crossed PHP 8.0 doesn't have the same effect.

Unfortunately I never managed to get the install to start. I'm currently using Invision Community v4.5.4.2 and PHP 7.4.33. Attempting to run the update I'm getting the message that the update can't go ahead without PHP 8.0. When I attempt another update I'll try PHP 8.0 rather than 8.1 perhaps that will help.

Thanks @Marc Stridgen If I am able to update I'll check that. My problem is that I can't update at all haha

Thanks @teraßyte I'll try PHP 8.0 and see if that helps, I just need to wait until after hours when there are less members. Perhaps that will work. At the moment I can't even update as it won't allow the update without PHP 8.0.

I had a weird thought, switch back to old PHP version, back to 7.4. My load averages have greatly reduced and I can now access my admin and website/forum. I guess I won't be using PHP 8.1 😟

Hi there, First off I will say I have left the update for a loooong time as I always have issues with things not working after, plugins, themes etc I've updated to PHP 8.1 and thought ok let's get this update cracking. Update says I need to run two database queries which I attempted before proceeding. Attempted as the tables don't seem to exist. The automatic fix didn't work. Now I can't login to my admin and my site is down. Logging into my server via WHM I see the load averages are extremely high. I've tried rebooting, killing the high load processes which seem to be the home page loading. I just can't get the load averages down low enough to access my forum. Does anyone have any ideas how I can get into my website, access the admin or anything that may help me gain control over the processes again? Big thanks

Legend!!!👌

Thanks @Rikki I'll suggest this to them. Note: The member is using Chrome, I had the issue on Opera so thought it may help point to something.

The member said he tried incognito mode and still had the same issue. I know he's only one member and the problem is most likely something he is doing himself. I'm just trying to help this guy out as he is well known in our industry. I'll update everything soon and see if it fixes the issue on his end.

Haha I don't know if it used these days I just had it installed for testing at some stage so gave it a test. It turns out the member is using Chrome when receiving that error.

In his post above he did but the video looked like an Odysee URL copy/paste.

Hey @V0RT3X666 Is that the latest IPB as my 4.4.1 install doesn't embed Time to update I guess. Just a test below of two different ways to copy/paste. Copy and paste from Odysee share link https://odysee.com/@lbry:3f/odysee:7?r=Ah2VDRfbaN8AshMKhtkSVBoHx7TYnK12 Copy and paste from right click https://cdn.lbryplayer.xyz/api/v3/streams/free/odysee/7a416c44a6888d94fe045241bbac055c726332aa/a27e60 Right click copy from main screen thumbnail https://odysee.com/@lbry:3f/odysee:7

Update time! I've checked other members, no login issues, I've checked Facebook login and no issues there. I decided to check a few different browsers just to tick them off of the list of issues and BAM! Using Opera I get the same login issue as my member with his credentials. I should note that I am using IPB 4.4.1 I haven't updated yet as there are usually issues and I want to make sure my addons, plugins etc are 100% compatible before I update.

It turns out they were trying to login with their Facebook account so this is probably a completely different issue. It seems they finally tried to login with their username and password and it worked. I have no idea what they were doing before as I'd asked them to use the username and reset password over and over again. 😑 Thanks for your help @Morrigan it is very much appreciated :)

Thanks for the suggestion above @Morrigan An update :) The member attempted a login from the Homepage, apparently they hadn't tried that previously :S Logged in successfully, updated their password to a more secure password after I had reset it. The member logged out then attempted another login and received an email saying they had been locked out due to 3 failed login attempts.
