Unable to upgrade PHP to 8.2 or 8.3

[Kompas]

Hello support,
The instructions for creating an FPA are simple and it is not the first time I have done this.

But

Capture d’écran 2024-08-26 à 23.24.36.png

after installing the file fpa-en.php in the folder where configuration.php and the folder administrator are, I went to the homepage of the site and added a slash afterthesiteinquestion.com, appended fpa-en.php and then gave an ENTER on the keyboard. That lead immediately to an 404 error. Checked again for the presence of the fpa-en.php file in the correct folder, but to no avail ; I always got an an 404 file not found error (I did not CHMOD the fpa-en.php file either). Since it is a multilingual site I also tried removing the country code before appending fpa-en.php but always the 404 error re-appeared. The site has recently been migrated from 4.4.6 to 5.1.2.

I noticed problems lately updating a couple of extensions (OOPS SOMETHING WENT WRONG RED PAGES). I HAD TO REINSTALL and re-configure the extensions again (had no problem under the former J4 4.4.6 release).

Since I have a new site in the making on MAMP, I tried to append pa-en.php to that new J 5 site and the fpa page appeared so the script is working locally but not on the hosted live site. It’s all about trying to update php from 8.1 to 8.2 or maybe 8.3 that caused the dreaded WOOOPS pages on the live site.Anyway the client gets fed up with Joomla (to geeky for him) and is looking for a solution like wix or jimdo (not WP).

I have other sites that cannot be updated to php 8.2 because of the—oops something went wrong etc —and since FPA is not working for me @ the moment I’ll have to make choices where to go from here… I use this same hosting co already for ±10 years without a serious problem.
Thanks for your thoughts. Kompas.

After deleting the .htacces files (standard and the admintools taccess file to be sure) and creating a new .htaccess; FPA made a report was made as follows (the question was that I can't upgrade PHP to 8.2 or 8.3 (what could be the reason?). Thanks in advance).

So the issue of the FPA script not running was caused by the enhanced .htaccess file created by Admin Tools? Good to know.

It’s all about trying to update php from 8.1 to 8.2 or maybe 8.3 that caused the dreaded WOOOPS pages on the live site. [...] I have other sites that cannot be updated to php 8.2 because of the—oops something went wrong etc

Please change 'Error Reporting' in the Global Configuration to 'Maximum' and turn on the option 'System Debug'. The error messages from Joomla will then have more details like the name of the script and line number where the PHP fatal error occurred, following by the PHP call stack, in other words, the list of function calls leading to the error. Post those details here for advice. Try to keep websites and different errors separate in their own topics.

Hi Ttoivo,

As the site for that business has to be functional during opening hours and as it works well under PHP 8.1 I at the moment, I’ll have to wait until they close this afternoon to follow your suggestions and report after that.

Regards, Kompas

Two candidate for causing the 500 "oops..." error could be those templates "hoylgon" and "campotel" (never heard of either of these) - do they run on PHP 8.2/8.3?

As has already been mentioned, enabled Debug and full error reporting which will help identify what is causing the 500 error.

Hello Murray,

I use the component Template Creator CK regularly since a number of years to create Joomla templates as I find that solution easy and reliable (still a learning curve though) and yes it is J 5 compatible .

Component Template Creator CK v5 to be installed in Joomla! 3.x or Joomla 4.x (it can export joomla templates for the version 2.5 or 3.x or 4.x).

Template Creator CK is compatible with Joomla! 4. It works also with the latest versions of Joomla! 3.
The templates from the V4 of Template Creator CK are compatible with the V5.
As mentioned before: I have to find out what Debug and error reporting say, but only this evening when that business closes as everything works fine under PHP 8.1 for now.
I also wait for a suggestion from the hosting company.

Have a nice day, Kompas

Thanks for your comments Toivo and AMurray

No need this time to change Error Reporting to maximum or turn System debug on.

A person from customer support @my hosting co pointed out that an important module in CPanel was not activated after trying the transition to a higher PHP version while I believed it really was (don’t shoot). So everything is now on PHP 8.3.
I’d like to send you a file called : systeminfo-2024-08-28T13_46_38+00_00PHPSETTINGS.txt.zip with the PHP settings of one of the sites that needed an update of PHP in order to get your opinion about the correct params because while searching the web I found contradicting information. I would appreciate the opinion of real Joomla experts.

I have another minor issue with a site but will eventually open another thread later.

Thanks and have a nice day/evening/whatever… Kompas

Cheers.

Well done!

That's valuable information Toivo, thanks.

i am having a similar problem. Could you please advise what the important module in CPanel was that was not activated. tks.

[abernyte]

At a guess it will be mysqli and mysqlnd

[simohunter]

thanks.

actually it is nd_mysqli (mysqli is not listed in 8.2 but is there in 8.1), at least on our system. all seems good when i enable it.
mysqlnd is checked already.

NB there is also nd_pdo_mysqli but i cannot check it (says it conflicts).

[Per Yngve Berg]

It must be set in configuration.php so it matches what is loaded in PHP.

[simohunter]

tks. i am not sure what you are referring to.

in configuration.php under public_html, $dbtype = 'mysqli'; all OK.

if i change that to $dbtype = 'nd_mysqli'; the system crashes.

Hi, I looked it up: for me the reason given was: La raison du dysfonctionnement était la désactivation de l'extension PHP Mysqli dans les options de PHP lors du changement de version de PHP

allthough I do NOT remember having deactivated that extention in CPanel
