That would be good as we have some issues with it. Once you do install it, could you confirm that the problem is also manifesting over at your end? Maybe by allowing the proper permissions for a few minutes in the images directory in your server.

I’ll check on this now – I will report back.

Out of curiosity – is the DB running in legacy password mode or the strong encryption option (which is the default I think?)

Great question. I cannot answer right now. I will check and report back.

Edit: according to my notes, I’m using mysql_native_password, not the legacy password stuff.

CREATE USER 'databaseuser'@'127.0.0.1' IDENTIFIED WITH mysql_native_password BY 'plaintextpassword';

Thanks. I follow up if you don’t mind. A legacy TXP site / DB – already running on 4.8 – can run with a native password SQL 8 install ?

Reason I ask, I’m thinking to rebuild my MBA completely, and was wondering; currently it runs mySQL 8 in legacy mode; should I install it with native password support ?

Another great question. Another I cannot answer presently. I tend to be quite fatalist with demo servers, if they go wrong I just build a new one from scratch. Rightly or not, my servers have components that are modular and easily moveable. Given you have a macOS environment, have you considered VirtualBox or similar to host a Linux/UNIX web server so you’re sandboxed?

Thanks again. On the MBA, it is more like a playground / test environment or occasional demo device, nothing really serious. and if a site blows up, we’ll start again. I’m mostly concerned with portability of older sites I like to use for testing. The less unserious work is done on the iMac with a mySQL 5.7 install, ‘cuz that is what all live servers are using.

There was some downtime yesterday, now resolved.

High level cause: me. I’m an idiot.

Lower level cause: I removed PHP 7.3 since all the sites are now working on PHP 7.4, and I omitted to redirect the php CLI symlink from PHP 7.3 to PHP 7.4. In real terms, every three hours when the installer scripts run, they obtained the relevant Textpattern versions, all the support files, and then…erm…didn’t install Textpattern because php wasn’t there.

Sorry. I can fix stuff like this, fixing my brain is less straightforward.
