Isssue with upgrade from Ver 25 to 26.1

posts: 18

Hi All,

I am trying to upgrade from Ver 25 to 26.1 as our hosting compny will be dropping support for PHP 7.4.

I have gone through the normal upgrade after changing PHP to 8.1 but the site will not load as it errors so i have managed to get 25 working again after dropping back to PHP 7.4.

The error I get is as follows:

Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Call to undefined function posix_getpwuid() in /home/lewesacc/public_html/wiki/installer/installlib.php:171 Stack trace: #0 /home/lewesacc/public_html/wiki/installer/tiki-installer.php(238): get_webserver_uid() #1 /home/lewesacc/public_html/wiki/tiki-install.php(137): include_once('/home/lewesacc/...') #2 {main} thrown in /home/lewesacc/public_html/wiki/installer/installlib.php on line 171

can anyone shed light on what I can do please?

Many thanks

David
