Error viewing several topics or posts

Today I noticed that I'm unable to open some topics or posts. They just show up as a blank (white) page in my Firefox browser. I now tried Chromium with a new incognito window. It shows HTTP ERROR 500.

One of these topics is Count total number of articles?.

Another one is Re: My Retro FlatPress Blogs.
Viewing the topic itself works: My Retro FlatPress Blogs, but you can't go to the second page. Blank (white) page again.
Going to the third page in this topic works though.

Oh, is with me also so E500

I've just tried a little bit - could it be that posts in these threads were deleted and phpbb got confused there?

viewtopic.php?t=219&start=0 <- works
viewtopic.php?t=219&start=1 <- does not work
viewtopic.php?t=219&start=2 <- does not work
viewtopic.php?t=219&start=3 <- does not work
viewtopic.php?t=219&start=4 <- does not work
viewtopic.php?t=219&start=5 <- does not work
viewtopic.php?t=219&start=6 <- does not work
viewtopic.php?t=219&start=7 <- does not work
viewtopic.php?t=219&start=8 <- does not work
viewtopic.php?t=219&start=9 <- does not work
viewtopic.php?t=219&start=10 <- does not work
viewtopic.php?t=219&start=11 <- works again

All calls that would contain 10 at the start (0-9 is displayed for 0, 1-10 for 1, etc.) do not work. Maybe that helps a little with troubleshooting.

Hi,

thank you very much for reporting this. I simply switched from PHP 7.4 to 8.0, now it works again. Sadly, this marks the end of the Archives (that were the only reason for me to still stick with 7.4).

All the best,
Arvid

Dunno how your server is setup, but if you create a new subdomain, e.g., forum-archive.flatpress.org, you could probably select a different PHP version for that subdomain.

Thought about that, too - but support for PHP 7.4 will end soon anyway...
