    By the way...  just to help you understand...
    https://www.php.net/supported-versions.php
    If your host is only supporting PHP 7.4, I would highly suggest finding a new hosting provider.  They're running critical software they cannot get security updates for and that is highly outdated.

    The solution is to find another provider.  There is a lot of competition in this space.

    The host is a remote host which is being used in your conf_global.php file for your MySQL database connection. This will fail unless you've specifically allowed that via your network configuration. If you have a local MySQL server to this server, you will want to adjust that. Otherwise, you will want to work with your hosting provider so you can make that remote connection.
    Additionally, the permissions are not valid on files and may have issued executing. 644 is recommended for most fiels and 755 for folders.

    Going to be highly dependent on what you’re running in your installation. Not a one size fit all answer and why we only provide a minimum for the core software.

    Tracy Perry got a reaction from tnn in Error while upgrading to 4.7.8   
    So, it was a coding issue that took developer intervention (with indicators it was a bug)?  Even that would be good to know other than "it was fixed".  😉
    Not trying to razz anyone...but more detail is always handy if a company is providing support via the forums and no longer via tickets as the primary avenue.

    Can I make a simple mention... for others that have this issue (or similar), it is REALLY beneficial for COMMUNITY support to detail in some form what was done to resolve the issue other than saying "it's fixed".  It may eliminate others from contacting for support if it is something that they can do on their end.

    Tracy Perry reacted to Grafidea in WHM & cPanel CentOS7 and AlmaLinux 8   
    Yes, cloudlinux is paid and is one of the main founders/sponsors of Almalinux. When I was setting up my server, I tested both ubuntu 20.04 and AlmaLinux 8 and ubuntu started faster, additionally it caused less problems when installing the PLESK panel than AlmaLinux. On newer machines, in my opinion, Ubuntu performs much better due to the fact that it has newer packages and core.

    Tracy Perry reacted to Stuart Silvester in Error while upgrading to 4.7.8   
    It was a hanging query on the customers server, it was stuck and wasn't processing at all. In combination with the other issue we were seeing during upgrades with invalid legacy data (from 2003/2004!) we removed the upgrade step, so no one else is going is going to have this issue anyway.

    Hi @gfhfstg,
    It's disappointing to hear that a hosting service will not update to a supported version of PHP promptly. Anything before 8.0 is not supported any more, and 8.0 itself is only having security support for the next 8 months at the time of writing this post.
    If you want a seamless experience and avoid the hassle of the backend altogether, definitely consider our Cloud.
    There are plenty of articles about HostGator and their parent company at the moment. I would highly recommend reading up on them just for some background on why things like this are happening to their clients.

    And mayhap there reaches a point of diminishing returns?
    To spend 20 hour to gain .0010ms of responsiveness is honestly ridiculous.  You are NOT on a drag strip against another vehicle.... .there IS a simple point of diminishing returns... and apparently you have MORE than enough extra time to devote to them... Most don't , and honestly do not need to.

    Tracy Perry got a reaction from Kevin W in No more go to first unread post link in topic   
    Best solution is to use a somewhat standard format in that the topic links to the first unread post.  Pretty sure most of the scripts perform the same, not requiring you to click on a little round circle to read the newest post.
    XenForo - click on topic takes you to first unread post
    Burning Board - click on topic takes you to the first unread post
    myBB - click on the topic takes you to the first unread post
    Seeing a trend here yet?  IPS is apparently the only one that the users have to learn a whole new process for.  Really helps towards that user friendliness, requiring them to learn a whole new process JUST to use your site compared to other (possibly competitor) sites that they use.  Guess which they will tend to keep going back to?  Odds are it's not going to be the strange duck that requires them to have to relearn/think about what is "normal" for them on other sites.
    And to top it off, clicking on that little round button is not "easy" on mobile when compared to clicking on that nice long topic text.

    Agreed, if the field is important enough to be collected, it should be important enough to be able to be searched upon.  It is very limiting to not allow that and defeats the purpose of custom fields.

    Yep, and I'm sure you've probably seen some of my posts "harping" on this very fact.  It basically appears to be a package that they use(d) internally that they bolted a few features onto and then turned into an app to resale.  It's not a "true" commerce package by any means.

    It comes from the Transactions settings and shouldn't appear if you're not using it. 
    Go to settings and fill with 0 (zero) that field and disable transactions. Let me know if it works. I'll add a bug report if that's the case.

    Unfortunately, don't. That's how the Commerce works:
     
    The money should go to the advert owner as Account Credit. He needs to request withdraw to receive it on PayPal effectively
    The problem I see is that the commerce seems to have been made to meet the specific needs of IPS.  There's a lot that needs to be improved to really look like a virtual store / sales site

    That's the one weakness of the Commerce package dependency.  All money goes into YOUR account and then you have to distribute it out from there to the appropriate parties.  Until the base commerce package is changed to allow it to route to other accounts you will have to distribute the proceeds.
    I've set mine up so that I dont' handle any of the funds.

    This is kind of a misnomer as it does not pay directly to the advertiser, but to the commerce package and then distributed out from there - not really much different than the downloads manager does from my understanding.
