An error occurred while loading Chevereto (Trying to update from 1.6.2)

[Misterg]

I am trying to update from 1.6.2 free, following the instructions here

>Remove app/vendor from your Chevereto V3 installation

Done

>Override Chevereto V3 files with Chevereto V4 files

Done - I copied all files extracted from the chevereto-4.3.zip file (6MB) to my album folder

>Switch to PHP 8

Done (Initially I tried 8.0, got a warning and changed to 8.4, experienced the error below, then changed to 8.3, but this made no difference)

>Create app/env.php (see remark below)

I renamed app/settings.php to app/env.php

The contents seemed to be correct, but I'm not sure about db_driver:

<?php
$settings['db_host'] = 'localhost';
$settings['db_name'] = 'mistergo_cheve15';
$settings['db_user'] = 'mistergo_cheve15';
$settings['db_pass'] = 'XXXXXXXXXX';
$settings['db_table_prefix'] = 'chpt_';
$settings['db_driver'] = 'mysql';
$settings['db_pdo_attrs'] = [];
$settings['debug_level'] = 1;

>Proceed with database migrate

I am unable to load Cevereto - I get the message "An error occurred while loading Chevereto."

The error log is:

[CHEVERETO LOAD ERROR] Error: Failed opening required '/home/mistergo/public_html/photo/app/legacy/load/../../vendor/autoload.php' (include_path='.:/opt/cpanel/ea-php81/root/usr/share/pear') /home/mistergo/public_html/photo/app/legacy/load/loader.php:23

It is looking for the file that was removed when I removed app/vendor.

I have searched this forum to try and find a solution, but was not successful.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you,

Andy

Hello Andy

one (Initially I tried 8.0, got a warning and changed to 8.4, experienced the error below, then changed to 8.3, but this made no difference)

This is the PHP version support table: https://v4-docs.chevereto.com/application/stack/php.html

I renamed app/settings.php to app/env.php

Image and Video hosting software

Make sure that you update the contents accordingly app/env.php

It is looking for the file that was removed when I removed app/vendor.

You downloaded the source code, not the software package. Is not the same thing.

You need this: https://github.com/chevereto/chevereto/releases/tag/4.3.7 (about 36MB)
