I have many, many, many errors. The most flagrant is the lack of my Forums. Also the lack of defined menus.. the lack of... well, a lot.
I think this could be due to the site upgrade script running on PHP version 5.5.38, which is below the requirements. I can switch, but at what stage do I switch PHP version? Before or after the upgrade? Do I switch to 5.6 or 7.0 or 7.3?
Merged on 04/20/2019: ok, setting anything above 5.6 makes the site go up in smoke. Literally. Blank page.
Merged on 04/20/2019: Upgrade on 5.6 causes the site to go blank while upgrading the database.
Wonderful.
Merged on 04/20/2019: After file upload, site is still blank. Switching between PHP version do not help. Files are there. Database is in place, uncertain whether it has been upgraded.
Merged on 04/20/2019: Hum, all files and folders are 644.... changing that
Merged on 04/20/2019: Starting over a bit later....
