Thanks Hillel!

I manually copied over v5.7.0 (zip), I’m getting blank white page when I go to URL, log shows this error now:

Can you try running php artisan optimize

anristudio · August 22, 2023, 2:22am

When I run “php artisan optimize” via command prompt I get:

Composer detected issues in your platform:

Your Composer dependencies require a PHP version “>= 8.1.2”. You are running 7.4.33.

PHP Fatal error: Composer detected issues in your platform: Your Composer dependencies require a PHP version “>= 8.1.2”. You are running 7.4.33. in /var/www/clients/client1/web1/web/billing/vendor/composer/platform_check.php on line 24

My server runs Debian 11 which ships with php 7.4 as default. They don’t recommend changing default php version on the system. I have additional php versions installed: php 8.1 & php 8.2, which I assigned to the website where invoice ninja is installed.

hillel · August 22, 2023, 6:13am

The app requires both the web and CLI versions of PHP to be >= 8.

anristudio · August 22, 2023, 2:03pm

when I run “php8.2 artisan optimize” I see

In Container.php line 891:
Target class [db.schema] does not exist.
In Container.php line 889:
Class “db.schema” does not exist

hillel · August 22, 2023, 2:05pm

Maybe this will help:

anristudio · August 25, 2023, 9:31pm

I copied my working installation v5.3.15 to another subfolder and it works w/o issues
I downloaded latest zip v5.7.4 and overwrote all the files (except ones with .)
I get HTTP ERROR 500
When I run “php8.1 artisan cache:clear” or “php8.1 artisan optimize” I get error

In Application.php line 827:
Class “Coconuts\Mail\PostmarkServiceProvider” not found

Also, apache error log shows:

hillel · August 25, 2023, 10:14pm

It may help to run composer install

anristudio · August 26, 2023, 7:09pm

Thanks @hillel I did, I still get same issues. Any other ideas?

root@server:/var/www/clients/client1/web1/web/billing# composer self-update
You are already using the latest available Composer version 2.5.8 (stable channel).

root@server:/var/www/clients/client1/web1/web/billing# php8.1 artisan optimize

In Application.php line 827:

Class “Coconuts\Mail\PostmarkServiceProvider” not found

root@server:/var/www/clients/client1/web1/web/billing# php8.1 artisan cache:clear

In Application.php line 827:

Class “Coconuts\Mail\PostmarkServiceProvider” not found

anristudio · August 26, 2023, 8:00pm

Progress.
I was able to run:

“php8.1 -f /usr/local/bin/composer update”
php8.1 artisan cache:clear
php8.1 artisan optimize
go to https://mywebsite/update?secret=mysecretkeyhere

Now I can get to login screen, but when I enter user & password, I still see: 500: Server Error

hillel · August 27, 2023, 12:59am

Are there any details about the 500 error in storage/logs?

anristudio · August 28, 2023, 5:16am

I see below in /storage/logs/laravel.log

hillel · August 28, 2023, 9:22am

It may help to run php artisan migrate

anristudio · August 28, 2023, 5:54pm

thank you @hillel - that fixed the issue, it works now.

hillel · August 28, 2023, 8:49pm

Glad to hear it, thanks for the update!
