PHP versions weirdness

[joshg]

I'm trying to figure out why my forum (v2.3.4) works fine on PHP 8.1, but immediately is completely unreachable when i go to 8.2 or 8.3 via cpanel at my host. versions 7.x also work fine... but i can't seem to use anything later than 8.1

My admin panel says 8.3 is recommended, so clearly .2 and .3 are supported.

Anyone have a theory what could be causing this?

Try with addons disabled and on a unmoddified default style.

Also depends what packages you have active under the php versions. If you're missing a certain package (see MultiPHP Manager), then it can't be loaded.

Use the test script to check the 8.3 build is compatible.

Also enable logging and check the error_log... its probably a PHP error.

thank you. i'm pretty much a novice. how do i enable logging? something in ACP or something at my host i need to turn on like in cpanel or something?

thanks... ok, will try this at a time that is quieter on my forum. am surprised style templates can affect this, but will try.
