I have server errors when runnig a PHP version 7.3 and -7.4 - forum gives a blanc page.

Also my newly installed testforum with XF 2.2.1 has the same problems!

Are you running redis?

Try FLUSHALL in redis-cli.

No problems here running 7.4.10 and 7.4.11.

 

[Abraham54]

Hello Brogan - will try!

 

[Abraham54]

Flushed Redis, but that did not work, back in PHP 7.2

 

[Paul B]

If a new vanilla install of XF 2.2.1 doesn't work, it's definitely something server side.

It could be a problem with the PHP build(s).

 

[Abraham54]

Hello Brogan, that is also my assumptium and allread reported this earlier today to my host.
But my host says there is no problem.

 

[Paul B]

Are you switching the PHP version after XF is installed?

What does the script return for 7.4?

Have you tried installing a new copy of XF on 7.4?
Presumably it fails during the install routine?

This is now the newest server error with PHP 7.4:

Aha - PHP Options:

 

[Abraham54]

Vimexx is now busy tackling the problems.
At their request I put back the original .htaccess

 

[Abraham54]

The originally used .htaccess seemed to have been damaged by setting back a back-up.
After that my site did not work in the early hours of last Sunday - I had to renew in srt the index.html file.
After that my site worked in PHP 7.2 - had I also replaced .htaccess, then my site would have worked in PHP 7.4!
