  1. From others who have moved over to php 7 the consensus was favorable. It is possible it is just a fluke with Mamp. I really can't offer anymore on this not using the product. I am not sure if Wamp or Xampp are compatible with your system either. You say you received a database error. What was it? Are you now able to access the front end and admin panel?
  2. In your database (2nd page usually) Find If you see these 2 tables you should be good to go.
  3. I have also received this message and it is due to the table not being there. Go ahead and hit continue and it will be created. The rest of the install should then be fine.
  4. What happens running the converter on an untouched database using utf8mb4 rather than utf8? Check this to see if it will recognize these characters. If this still acts the same then it should be reported as a bug under Bug Reports - Extras - Converters.
  5. From time to time I have seen this error "_view_updates" while performing a 3.4.x upgrade to current versions From what I have seen and experienced it is nothing to worry about. It is a database table that the upgrader did not find in version 3.4.x then added for 4.1.x.
  6. Are you showing background tasks going on when you first enter the ACP? If so give it a little time or run them manually to see if the issue still persists.
  7. Check this in the default skin theme, and see if the quote and citation boxes are there... It appears that this is being a 3rd party theme. Without the code snippet information needed in the post-content.css it will appear blank as it is now. Also remember the themes have to be for version 4.1.x, 4.0.x and older themes will not work properly they are not compatible.
  8. Yes she gives a whole new meaning to the phrase "Shop Until You Drop!"
  9. Which reminds me.... I don't have one either.... Just a wife who likes to spend what I don't have yet....
  10. Glad it worked out for you... I'll have my secretary send your secretary the bill in the morning....
  11. It appears that you have a missing widget table. Try downloading a fresh copy of the suite from the client center.... Every now and then the files can be corrupt during file transfer... This was a big issue I had in the past with my ISP.
  12. OK, 1. you created the backup of your present site and moved to the test subdirectory. 2.Copied the original sql database in PhpMyAdmin to something like "test1" 3. Went back into the test root directory and modified the conf_global.php where the line for sql database points to the new database "test1" While assuming this to be on the same server the sql user and password are the same. 4. Changed the board URL to be pointed to the new location "http://forum.com/test" 5. Go into the ACP - System - System settings. Go to General Configuration - Find "Path to 'upload' directory" below text box you will see the recommended uploads path copy and paste this into the text box. Do the same for "Upload URL" and Save. Do the same under the IPS Apps if you have the blog and gallery. 6. Go to Look and Feel - Template Tools (In Left sidebar) - Rebuild Master Skin Data check all boxes including the 3 on the left. Hit Rebuild. 7. (Above) Select a skin set - <All Skin Sets> Hit Recache Skin Sets. 8. Go back to System - Cache Management - Rebuild Furl Cache - Rebuild Global Caches Cache - Recache All. 9. Go to Applications & Modules - Manage Applications & Modules - Hit Recache Apps & Modules. 10. Go to Applications & Modules - Manage Hooks - Hit Reimport Applications Hooks. No go to front end and refresh.... Do you have your test site? If this is still not working, what you may want to try (if you still have a copy of 3.4.6) is save these directories Cache, downloads (if you have it), hooks public, screenshots (if you have it), and Uploads. Also save the conf_global.php from above. Via FTP upload the fresh copy of 3.4.6 to this test site. If you do not have a copy of 3.4.6 then you will need to upgrade the live board to 3.4.8 and start this whole process over starting from the beginning. Good Luck and Merry Christmas!
  13. If you can access the ACP Try going to System - (Support) Support - What do you need help with? - Something isn't working correctly. And hit Continue. If this does not work then there are other issues needing investigation.
  14. Are you saying the only posts that got cached were by administrators and moderators? Or are you saying administrators and moderators can only view the posts at this moment?
  15. In the article it is crucial to follow all the steps as written. All caching needs to be done prior to any upgrade as well. After going through the complete process it is then very important to review the suite being upgraded to look for any oddities that were not on the original site. These also need your attention prior to the upgrade process. Skipping steps gets you in trouble, I know I have gone through many that failed until I got the process right. Yes, I highly recommend this.
  16. Your fixed upgraded 4.1.4.1 test site with instructions is being sent to your server... Have fun getting to know 4.1.4.1!
  17. Go to the ACP - System (bottom) Support -Support. click the radio button for "Something isn't working correctly" Then click Continue. Click back on Overview Dashboard and let the page build... Should be working now.
  18. If this is a live situation I would then submit a ticket in the clients center.... Seems there are other issues causing this.
  19. Then I would give the utf8mb4_unicode_ci option a shot.
  20. Now you have the tools to be on your way! Any Day I wake up with my nose a minimum of 6 inches above the dirt line is a day of thanks...
  21. Via your domain - http://yourdoman.com/ips4.php.... You will get the server information. If all is ok then you are on your way to the next... Have a Great ThanksGiving!
  22. Did you go through all the steps laid out in the article? IE: Server settings? Is your server compatible? Conversion Tool... Was your 3.4.3 to 3.4.8 database compatible with 4.0?
  23. Is this a live upgrade or test? To be honest I am having a bit of a hard time following the screenshot at the moment.
  24. https://community.invisionpower.com/4docs/getting-started/upgrading-from-3x-to-40-things-to-know-r136/ In the above link from @bfarber you will find a system checker.... Check and see if your server passes to go forward with IPS 4.0 and 4.1 BTW at this point it is now 5:49pm and MS Edge is still trying to resolve.... I'd say it was stuck!... LOL!
