What PHP build are you using? Is no error showing in your error log? You can skip the file check by removing the top VERSION-8.0.0 NEW/CHANGED/REMOVED sections from the /install/UPGRADE_CHANGES.txt file (that'd be Line 1 through ~701

why are you running the install.php for doing an upgrade?
run the index.php script as mentioned in the guide. it will will present a page with your forum info, and then run the correct script when you proceed, which would be upgrade.php not install.php

I'm sorry to have to ask. I wonder if anyone can help with this please? It's my website he's working on and it's been down for a long time. I wish I knew more about it, but I'm ignorant to these things. I sure would greatly appreciate it if someone could help resolve this. We've been with UBB threads for going on 20 years. I'm not sure where else to turn. You can PM me too if you have advice or anything.

Opened a support ticket on the 28th and there has been no response.

going through the code again through a debugger its catching this:

1. Undefined Variable: $all_versions
Line 139-154: The code uses $all_versions array but never defines it:

$all_versions is defined in /libs/ubbthreads.inc.php. The library is called as part of the /install/upgrade.php upgrader script, which includes it at the top of that script. upgrade.php is not a stand-alone php. it requires the rest of ubb.threads to be installed in the correct paths so it can properly run through the upgrade process.

These are user to user forums (none of us works for the vendor) and it sounds like you'll need hands on support to continue; the vendor support can be reached through the Support Desk

There is the occasional host that just won't work with any product due to security issues, such as NameCheap.

There are also PHP Version Compatibility issues if you're attempting to run v8 on a PHP7 system for example; have you run my "UBB.threads System Requirements Test" script?
