Upgrading from 8.5.1 to 8.8.0 resulting in 500 Error

  1. Got the error reporting just like yours. For both php.ini files (in apache and cli)

  2. apache is pointing at /var/www/html/suitecrm/public
    <VirtualHost *:80>
    DocumentRoot /var/www/html/suitecrm/public
    <Directory /var/www/html/suitecrm/public>
    Options FollowSymLinks MultiViews
    AllowOverride All
    Require all granted

I did notice that I forgot to fix the RewriteBase in .htaccess this time before the upgrade. The one where you trim it back to just “/legacy/”. That’s still needed right?

I’m going to rollback and fix that RewriteBase then attempt another upgrade.

Cheers
