After manually updating to 1.6: internal server error

[nielsdrost7]

@aksysict I've opened that issue for you

After that i change the php version from.7.4 to 8.1 on the hosting provider and i get only blank page. When i remove the new lines (dotenv) in index.php and set the old codes. Then it workes only dashboard. Invoices/clients/settings and other stuff does not work. And i dont get a error. Only page cannot be load warning on google chrome. i removed the first line in ipconfig.php ->

i turned on the debug mode on google chrome see the screenshot attached. this is exact the same what happend with the code in ipconfig.php so nothing changes

@aksysict I took a look at your screenshot and it shows an internal server error (500) Can you try and run composer install or ,composer update

The internal server error would end up in your CodeIgniter log (hopefully) or in your server error log

And yes, I can better help you on slack, because that's easier. Here is the invite link: https://join.slack.com/t/invoiceplane/shared_invite/zt-sjirc9h2-952baR9rn4r8LyzRK9MveA

@nielsdrost7 thanks for the reply. it is not our server. it is a ftp of our webhosting how i can run these commands?

[nielsdrost7]

You run these commands by logging into the server, on the command line of that server. Remember what I said about slack? This is what I meant.

• You need to install your site locally. Use either something like Xampp or Wampp or Mampp or use something like docker.
• Bring your site over from your web host to your local PC
• Download your database and place that locally
• if you're not allowed to, because there's customer data In there (GDPR / AVG), then don't grab that database

With your docker setup you can go to that prompt

Hi, did you already figure out, what happened? Is the issue resolved? Also tried to update manually to 1.6 v3, replacing all files (except ipconfig.php and uploads) and unfortunately facing similar issues - no. Clean new installation of 1.6. v3 also failes on php 8.1 - any help would be appreciated...

@adamedia-de remove the top line from ipconfig.php and see if you still have the same problem.

If it fails for you, I need screenshots and codeigniter log.

In the case of the issue, that I created, I did the following:

• remove that top line in ipconfig.php (about direct access)
• remove composer.lock
• run composer install

I got the following error:

Uncaught Dotenv\Exception\InvalidFileException: Failed to parse dotenv file

And the instructions from @nielsdrost7 solved my error, for a clean install on a php@8.1 server. Thank you!

We've addressed above issue in the documentation that will be available on the wiki page:

• The ipconfig.php file contains a line in the top of the file, which the phpdotenv doesn't like
• Solution is to rename or move the ipconfig.php file (see documentation, soon)
• If you rename your ipconfig.php file you need to adjust your index.php to that new name (see documentation)
• Our tip is to rename your ipconfig.php file to something only you know, so visitors cannot 'guess' your new config file name.
• Don't forget to adjust your index.php file, it's looking for your config file in one of the first lines of code.
• After you've renamed your ipconfig.php file and adjusted your index.php file you need to protect your newly renamed file
