Such an old version will at best run with PHP 5.x.

You can upgrade to the newest versions with a few interim steps. > > 1. Perform an update to version 2.3.5. This is directly possible, starting with version 2.0.2. > 2. Afterwards perform an upgrade to version 2.4.24. > > At this point you ar able to run the forum under PHP 7.4. > > The last step is a bit tricky because we changed a few prerequisites but we didn't take attention to this change in the upgrade script. If you have e-mail-addresses, that are in use for more than one account, [i]the upgrade [b]will[/b] fail[/i] at the moment. > > [b][edit][/b]: If you are able to ensure that every e-mail-address in your userdata table is unique, an upgrade to 20220803.1 is possible. > > Tschö, Auge
