Thank you for the suggestion. After reading through other threads, I installed 8.1 since 8.0 appears to be near EOL at the end of 2023. Also, the default install on Web Hosting Manager handled all of my PHP extension questions. It looks like everything XenForo needs is somewhat common and...

I completed our update to XF 2.2.13 today and everything went very smoothly. Andy sent me his XF1 -> XF2 guide which was extremely helpful. The new forum version is working well so far. I am really thankful to the devs who make these updates go so smoothly. My last item is to update my PHP...

Some good news - our site is up on our new AlmaLinux 8 installation with a lot of help from our hosting provider. It was a combination of allocating more server RAM, setting PHP version 7.2, and making sure key items like htaccess and admin.php were correct/accessible. We have access to our...

Ok, thank you. I am working with my hosting provider and they feel everything is OK except for the PHP version and possibly old plugins as you said. If I can get the admin area working I'll take the steps you mentioned to complete the update to XF 2.0+

The new VPS supports XF's requirements, but our site admin page is not functioning (503 error) after the move to the new OS. Is there a way to migrate our data to, say, a fresh XF 2.0 installation and upgrade from there? Or any other strategy?

I've been maintaining a small film community forum for about 12 years using cPanel on CentOS 7 and XF 1.5.21. Our hosting provider recently asked to migrate our VPS from CentOS 7 to AlmaLinux 8. I made complete backups of everything before the upgrade, but after the move our forum is...

I manage a small forum for the industry I work in. We host a topic for posting for-sale ads, and I received an email from a member who believes he's been scammed out of a few thousand dollars by another user on the forum. He is asking if I can provide user data for the member he was...

We'd like to add a searchable table of user submitted results to our forum, to track performance data collected from a popular benchmark test. Right now, users are adding their results as posts in a thread and comparing results is getting difficult. I tried searching for "xenforo user...

For sure, it seemed to be a great idea, but my main goal is to conserve the bandwidth and server executions they're using up. From the Robots tab in "Who's online now" they're moving from thread to thread, so blank page or otherwise, I'm not sure if that's actually happening. I think I might...

This is happening to us as well. As a test I've removed everything except googlebot, but our forum is being crawled right now by Bing, Yahoo, Yandex, and others. Unregistered and Registered group permissions under Robots are Allowed. Is there anything else to check? This Add-On would be a...

Quick update: Upgrading to Xf 1.5 fixed our template errors. So far everything is working great. Thanks again for the easy fix.

Upgrading to Xf 1.5 was part of our plan, but I wasn't sure if doing the update before any issues were resolved was a good idea or not. If updating fixes this, then that would great. Thanks for the suggestion. I'll give it a try.

We recently migrated our forum to a new web host using a Cpanel backup. Everything is going pretty well, but we are getting this error at the top of our page when navigating through different threads/ posts: I have been going through the Troubleshooting FAQ, and see several good options, but...

Thanks for the info. They did say MySQL is in /var, which I never knew. Looks like that 20GB of space they give you is for everything but your database. When I replied they said everything was ok for now, but that we may need to upgrade if our db gets near a gig. We are growing pretty quickly...

We have a small forum with about 1300 users, and just got the following message from a sysadmin at our webhost... ---- While investigating a disk space issues on the shared server your account resides on, I found that your database liftgamm_forum is using 616M of the server's allocated...
