EmpireKicking Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 I already upgrade php before I updated the software. No problems at my end. is your MySQL backed up? If so then install a fresh website, means alot of work but install a new one and import the database back in. First backup. I backup mySQL every hour with emails saying it's passee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John_C Posted January 7, 2016 Author Share Posted January 7, 2016 Well, I was wrong. I'm on php 5.4 and there is no way to upgrade any higher.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If a host only offers EOL versions it is a bad host. They should be providing PHP 5.6, at the very least 5.5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EmpireKicking Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 who are you hosting with, sounds like they are crap in my opinion. I'm running 5.6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mahumba Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 I just visited your forum. Did you disable 3rd party addons before upgrading? I have been getting into the habit of doing that. I ain't no pro at computer lingo and stuff but I'm seeing that some of the addons could and do cause issues during an upgrade. I now disable them all. Then update. I will then enable them one at a time to see if there are any issues along the way. Roger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that common practice? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mahumba Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 Ok, first off and I don't know why did it but I called godaddy. Their highest php setting they have is 5.5 which you can set on your side. So switch it to 5.5! Your board will throw you errors on 5.4 like a 500 to 1 dodge ball game! By the way, I don't use godaddy but their customer line didn't leave ya on hold for 1/2 a day listening to that mind bending music and they even give you an option to hit the pound key to turn off the music! haha Roger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
