XF 2.2 Upgrading XF 1.5 -> XF 2.2.6 P2

[tsi]

Hi,

I created a clone of a XF 1.5 forum on a local linux host. Everything looked OK.

I updated PHP 7.3 to PHP 7.4 to met the PHP requirements. A check with the Xenforo requirements PHP-Skript was OK, all needed PHP-modules are installed.
Mysql version is 5.7.35. Even with PHP 7.4 the clone forum was still working on localhost.

No I followed the update guide and copied the content of the upload directory into the root directory by overwriting existing files.

When I try to open localhost/install/ nothing is happening, only a blank screen.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

It seems to be a local problem with the ZIP archive that I have to check first, then immediately with 2.2.7 I have to first

research where something has been lost.

thanks

I recommend using the latest 2.2.7 package.

If you have cPanel, upload the zip archive and extract on the server - that will resolve any issues typically caused when using FTP.
