Something was changes for sure.
Must be a block issue due to php changes...

You still can get into your admin section I assume?
https://scforum.info/index.php?action=admin

Try to deactivate all blocks in TinyPortal

Yes, it is posible to access Admin panel but it is not possible to open anything in Tinyportal and deactivate. :-/

Maybe some other sugestions?

Thank you.

Well, I suspect there are bigger issues. Just tried to access your forum with the 'noblocks' parameter, but it still breaks, which it should not. So it may not be caused by the blocks.

Best bet is that indeed you forum is running at a php version that is not suported.
I noticed on the login2 page (which is still working) that you are on TinyPortal 1.0, which is ancient and definately not supports modern PHP versions. What PHP version is your site ON?

Please investigate and specify:

1. Your SMF version
2. Your server's PHP version

Thank you.

Can you still access the package manager in SMF?
If so, you may try uninstalling TinyPortal in the package manager

Mind you: I cannot give you a complete path to a solution without knowing the (exact) SMF version and PHP version you are on

Yes, sure I understand... it worked perfectly last 15+ Years, till Yesterday.



SMF: 2.0.18
PHP: 7.4.33

TinyPortal: 1.107 - it is not possible to uninstall, tried before few min.

Thank you.

Why is it not possible to uninstall?

What errors do you get?

An Error Has Occurred!
This package cannot be uninstalled, because there is no uninstaller!

Please contact the mod author for more information.

Hmmm, have not worked with these old versions in ages.

Still believe the php version was changed. Do you have an option to downgrade to php 5.6 as a test?

Unfortunately no, but We contacted Hosting support before writing here... they said there is no changes on their side, just like We doesnt tweeked anything in settings.. forum just broke yesterday. :-/

Thank you.

[@rjen]

Well no forum breaks just like that: SOMETHING was changed.

[@rjen]

You may ask you host to restore a backup...

[Samker]

Yup, already tried before few hours with automatic backup from yesterday... without success. :-/

I agree, for sure We doesn't changed anything... in the past We also doesn't have problem with hosting.


Maybe We're hacked?

[@rjen]

I doubt it. If you were hacked a full backup would remove any hack.

It still gives the impression that php does not like something. Effectively you should see this in your server error logs..

[Kindred]

I fail to believe your host.
That sort of error is almost always due to the host forcing a php upgrade...

You may need to do a clean set of 2.0.19 files and then reinstall modern versions of your mods

[Arantor]

The number of hosts that swear no changes were made...

I'd be looking for the error log to see what's going on.

[@rjen]

I was thinking the same: depends on how many mods you have installed.

At least that will get rid of the old TinyPortal version.

If you stay on SMF 2.0 you can install TP version 2.3.1. and you will still have your old content.

Try running phpinfo (attachted).
