XF 2.2 site down from opsys upgrade

[pattycake2]

My goofy host changed the opsys on my site from Centos and php 7.3 to AlmaLinux8 and php 8.2 and now, I cannot access anything on the site. Every php file that is clicked does not run the php file. Instead it downloads a file that contains

if (version_compare($phpVersion, '7.0.0', '<')) {

die("PHP 7.0.0 or newer is required. $phpVersion does not meet this requirement. Please ask your host to upgrade PHP."); }

Their admins are saying it's an addon that's not compatable with php8 - ok, fine but I can't access the site to disable any add-on to find the problem. I have set the src/config.php
$config['enableListeners'] = false;
$config['enableTemplateModificationCallbacks'] = false;
But that doesn't help.... it still won't exec the pho file, download a file with the

die("PHP 7.0.0 or newer is required. $phpVersion does not meet this requirement. Please ask your host to upgrade PHP."); }

in it.

my phpinfo


I thought maybe nuking or renaming the add-on folder might help ???

That means php isn't running.

Find a new host if they don't know that.

Find a new host anyway if they upgraded the OS and PHP without informing you.

site/phpinfo.php runs fine and returns the config so I'm pretty sure php is running

I found the problem - the add-on by XenConcept LoginAsUser

Could not find class XenConcept\LoginAsUser\XF\Entity\User when attempting to extend XF\Entity\User

Once I zapped that add-on, everything came up fine. Will go to XenConcept to see if there is an update

Weirdness...

Thank you for your reply

I'm not sure what you are pointing out but, I am using 2.2.... and have been using that logon as user app for years. All of this weirdness happened when the dang host changed the opsys and the php version. The host kept telling me it was an add-on but could not (or would not) tell me which one. Even disabling all add-ons via the config.php did not help. I ended up nuking the add-on folder (by renaming it) and then, I was able to access the site and view the error logs. Disabling add-ons via config.php did not disable the Logon as User add-on... it still ran and prevented the site from coming up.

Yes, my mistake, sorry. I assumed you were on 2.3

This is from the error log AFTER I had disabled (or thought that I had disabled) ALL add-ons from config.php

Template error: [E_USER_WARNING] Method canUseLoginAsUser is not callable on the given object (XF\Entity\User)

It’s true that at the moment we tend to pull out our guns quickly! There have been so many forums that crashed due to a story about add-ons not being up to date with version 2.3...
