Topic: PHP-Nuke not working after upgrade

[jon]

I have an old version of PHP-Nuke running in an ibay.   It runs perfectly under 7.6, but when I bring up the site under 8.0, all I get is a blank screen.  I'm not exactly sure what the issue is since I do not get any error messages of any kind.   I checked to make sure that the ibay had the Dynamic Content flag enabled and it did.   Any suggestions???

I don't think that's necessary. Just look at the errors in /var/log/messages or /var/log/httpd/error_log. Enabling script error messages via the browser (as per wiki instructions) will make it easier for crackers to break into buggy php applications (and which php application is not buggy?).

Stefano, Charlie and Trex - thanx for your suggestions.   Looking at the errors in /var/log/messages, I see a number of missing files that my application was looking for - they were all in /var/lib/php4.   It appears that my app has this library hard coded somewhere.   

I took a 7.6 server, copied the files over but still nothing.   Further investigation tells me that there are a number of php4 commands that are "depreciated" - it appears that missing libraries are not my only issue.

Maybe it's time for a phpnuke upgrade as well.

Thanx again.

Probably true whether you were upgrading SME server or not. Google for 'phpnuke security advisory'.
