Migrating and Upgrading to Joomla! 4.x • Re: 404 Category not found after 3.10.x to 4.4.9 update

If as you suspect, it's your .htaccess, perhaps try this:

rename your .htaccess to htaccess.old, then upload Joomla's version (included in the installation ZIP file as htaccess.txt). Upload this file and rename it to .htaccess. Does the site now work?

Nope, same issue.

I don't know why FPA is flagging PHP 8.3.13 supports Joomla 4.4.9 : No - because it should work. another idea to try - drop the PHP version to 8.2

Tried that too in .htaccess, no go.

Most hosts should allow PHP version changes through cPanel or equivalent? Some may only allow global PHP version, and some per-application or subdomain or folder.

I run my own VPS and know just enough to be dangerous. In any case setting the PHP version for the whole domain to any flavor of 8.x doesn't work, and it breaks the live site which requires 7.4, which is why I did it via .htaccess (forgive me if I'm repeating myself here).

From what I researched shouldn't you use AddHandler not SetHandler? (I don't know the difference).

What is this in reference to? Might be something to try but I don't know what it is.

Perhaps check with your host as to how to use .htaccess to define the PHP version, but I found this (for BlueHost) that seems to be using a similar directive that you have.

Yep and it does seem to be working despite what the FPA puts out.

Any other ideas?
