#SPu#

Yea, mods aren't the issue, I will remove all of them and work them from the ground up, since for sure they aren't compatible. Just wondering if it's then easiest to do a full fresh install for files, copy the database (to the new server), and finally run upgrader? (is that the correct sequence ..I have upgraded other forum softwares a lot but not familiar with such large changes in IPS)

I have a community that hasn't received upgrades to the forum software for a while due to an extensive list of customizations to the board, and it sits currently in v.4.1 of IPS Community Suite. What is the best method to upgrade it to the latest v.4.7 branch? The server runs still PHP 7, so that needs to upgrade to PHP 8, and actually we're switching to a whole new server too at the same time. Mainly, is v.4.1 PHP 8.1 compatible? Since this way I could first move to the new server (old upgrade old server to PHP8) and then upgrade IPS to latest version. Making it the other way around seems rather difficult...
