I downloaded the latest version of Invoice Ninja, ensuring I was running PHP 8.3 with required dependencies but got the following error when I accessed the …/public folder:
500 — Server Error
Not very helpful I know but looking for some guidance please.
Hi,
Are there details about the 500 error in storage/logs?
Hi
Thanks for the response.
I took a different route in the end and installed again on a fresh domain and used the migration feature.
The install of v 5.10.26 went well actually but when I came to migrate from v4 to v5 I got the following message:
Oops, something went wrong. Migration can’t be processed at the moment. Please checks the logs.
Here’s the last few lines from the laravel.log file on the v5 installation:

What version of v4 are you using?
v4.5.42
I tried upgrading to 4.5.50 but when I updated the PHP to 7.4 the site just refused to work.
I believe you’ll need to use 4.5.50
Are there any errors in the logs?
Hi Hillel
I tried updating the PHP and the page simply refuses to load.
Is there perhaps a manual DB option we can use?
If the page isn’t loading there should be details in either storage/logs or the web server error logs
It’s possible to export/import data as CSV however the results will be far inferior to using the migration tool
I updated the PHP to 7.4 and loaded the website in a private window and got the following error:
Whoops, looks like something went wrong.
In the file “laravel-error.log” I have this (the time is one hour behind but I assume it’s the right entry and file):
[2024-08-28 13:07:07] production.ERROR: ***ErrorException*** [0] : /home/billing1/public_html/app/Models/Account.php [Line 1126] => Unparenthesized `a ? b : c ?: d` is deprecated.

I suggest setting up a phpinfo page to confirm the web server is using PHP 7.4
Good idea. Thanks.
Here’s what’s displayed.
I’m not sure, searching online points to this being a PHP 8 issue.
https://www.reddit.com/r/PHPhelp/comments/10vk6ra/updating_to_php_8_and_running_into_wordpress/
OK. But surely the file producing the error: login.blade.php is Invoice Ninja’s file, no?
I’m not saying otherwise, my point is if you Google the “Unparenthesized a ? b : c ?: d” most results are related to PHP 8 being installed.
OK.
Is this something we can fix perhaps as I need to migrate to a new server and that’s why I want to upgrade the billing system to v5. Easier all round.
You may want to try setting up v4 on a different server
Thanks. How would I then get the data from the existing version 4 to the new one?
You can use mysqldump to transfer the database, you also need to copy over the .env file
OK. I will give that a go.
I assume the process would be…
• Install anew instance of v4.5.50
• Overwrite DB & .ENV files from v4.5.42 → v4.5.50
• Migrate from v4.5.50 → v5.10.26
Oh, and the .htaccess file too from 4.5.42 → 4.5.50 ?
Correct
Have you made any changes to the .htaccess file?
