PROBLEM changedata fails with http500 after php update to 8.x

[islander]

Hi,



I am experiencing http error 500 for all admin changedata calls after provider host europe updated pgp from 7.4 to 8.0 (8.1)

There is no message in the error log, only the 500 in access.



Last change in DATA was in October, nobody touched anything.

file permissions look good.



I diff'ed the last backup from Oct with the current production:

When I check these files, UTF errors occur.



I have no idea what's up. Ghosts don't exist. Only daemons.

Thats definitely a bummer!

And those are odd files to get a diff from. Did you see what the diffs are?

Regardless, past versions of GS will not work past php7.4.
So my recommendation would be to overwrite changed files with good ones.
Look at uploads folder for any strange files.

Then upgrade to the new "Community Edition" which supports 8.x
If you are on 8.1, you may want to opt for v2

Hope this helps
