Where can I find what version I have from 2018?

Today, unexpectedly, my site no longer works.

It produces this error:

Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Undefined constant "Patchwork\Utf8\MB_OVERLOAD_STRING" in /home3/douglazb/public_html/p8pilots.com/board/vendor/patchwork/utf8/src/Patchwork/Utf8/Bootup.php:45 Stack trace: #0 /home3/douglazb/public_html/p8pilots.com/board/includes/utf/utf_tools.php(28): Patchwork\Utf8\Bootup::initMbstring() #1 /home3/douglazb/public_html/p8pilots.com/board/common.php(97): require('/home3/douglazb...') #2 /home3/douglazb/public_html/p8pilots.com/board/index.php(23): include('/home3/douglazb...') #3 {main} thrown in /home3/douglazb/public_html/p8pilots.com/board/vendor/patchwork/utf8/src/Patchwork/Utf8/Bootup.php on line 45

I suspect HostGator updates PHP versions.

Looks like I need to do an update. But am I updating from phpBB 3.1.x or 3.2.x ?

I installed this in November-2018. WHERE can I see what version I have?

Thanks!

There is steps that should be taken before updating depending on the version. I'd first go into Cpanel and see if you can revert php version changes, find "MultiPHP Manager" which I will note may not be present.

Your prosilver =
style_version = 3.2.3
phpbb_version = 3.2.3

If you installed it correctly that would also be the phpBB version mentioned in the database. (see the config table)

Is it possible your host upgraded the PHP version ?(to a version incompatible for phBB3.2.3) (in which case upgrading could solve the problem)

Please use the Support Request Template Generator and post the result here.

Forgot to add in my original post, to find version using phpmyadmin you can use this SQL

Code: Select all

SELECT config_value FROM phpbb_config WHERE config_name = 'version'; 

Directions for upgrading from 3.2.3 are here:

Site is set to PHP 8.2 (ea-php82)
