UNA 11.0 Upgrade - HTTP ERROR 500

1. Reload the web page. ... 
2. Clear your browser's cache. ... 
3. Delete your browser's cookies. ... 
4. Troubleshoot as a 504 Gateway Timeout error instead. ... 
5. Contacting the website directly is another option. ... 
6. Come back later.        

The 500 Internal Server error could be caused by an error during the execution of any policy within Edge or by an error on the target/backend server. The HTTP status code 500 is a generic error response. It means that the server encountered an unexpected condition that prevented it from fulfilling the request.

Items 1-3 did nothing...error log:

Error: Call to undefined function mb_internal_encoding() in /public_html/inc/header.inc.php:25

Reviewing line 25 in header.inc.php:

error_reporting(E_ALL);

mb_internal_encoding('UTF-8');

mb_regex_encoding('UTF-8');

date_default_timezone_set('UTC');

It's possible that you may not have updated all the modules after your upgrade. Make sure that all updates have been done and try again. HTTP 500 is a server error. 

 I cannot access a thing - completely blank page loading my browser.

Try going directly into studio like this

UNA help rectifying errors is really bad. You generally have to work this out on your own. It is their way of ensuring you pay for all modules.

Additionally non-admins can access your site using 

https://www.putyoursitehere.com/studio/launcher.php

Yep, from that URL, same result.  I may just reinstall my site from scratch using 11.0 and start over since this is a test site and not in production. To assist others, it would be great to find the fix...I'm impatient

That is NOT true. You CAN NOT access the studio unless you are an Admin or Site Operator.. I just tested this myself with a standard user. 

Well this is an open source solution and if I want to pay for support, there's certainly folks offering their services for a fee, which is the way it should be. I don't see any issues with that.  We're all contributing to resolve/improve UNA as a community.

Lol, send me your site url and i'll access Admin in 10 seconds. There is a gaping hole is all una installations. Now I just need to remember how to resolve this issue

there is nothing wrong with paying to support, there is alot wrong with people leading you down a rabbit hole.

So if you think you could hack my site in 10 seconds without having an account, or anybody's site for that matter, and gain Admin access then why do you just say how you can do that and give UNA Team the ability to fix an security "gaping holes" then.

I am all ears..

Boy you are defensive, please stick to the subject

You hang in there, i'll share the details once it's fixed. For now, lets focus on the 500 error.

I was trying to focus on the 500 server error and asking the OP to try and access the Studio via direct link until you decided to jump and say that non-admins can access the studio.. You even said you can access anyone's website in 10 seconds (specifically challenged my own website) due to "gaping holes" in ALL UNA installs. So yeah, how about you focus on the 500 error too until you figure out how you can explain you can access anyone's website in 10 seconds. I'll hang in here. 

I'll check your configuration, thank you for your help

This details? https://una.io/page/view-discussion?id=4352

That is where I found the problem...yes

I'm thinking you did a custom modification to set automatically all users to role 3, by default UNA adds all new users to role 1, so I think this issue does not affect to all UNA installations.

I found it! Please proceed!

Yikes!

Will, your comment's have been reported to the FBI. Have a great day.

Hey Guys - After going to bed annoyed, my site is back up and running just fine. Nothing changed at my end, in fact, I just refreshed my opened browser and was able to access studio login page. Maybe there is some back end processing that's happening before the updates have completely migrated?  

On a side note, I chuckle how my post evolved into a hacking conversation...  

Much thanks to Chris, MSolutions and LeonidS for responding.

My hosting provider is Zarconia - Boonex had acquired them quite a while ago.  Also, a shout out to Will Monte for his comments - thanks!!

LeonidS - I was on 10 or 10.1....whatever was the publicly released version.  I never installed any of the RC versions.

Thanks for the guidance...I updated my settings and activated for 7.1, 7.2 & 7.3 after my site came back online.  All is still good to go!

Hey Jethro - Glad all is well now. I just noticed that you mentioned your site was unavailable after you received the confirmation email. Did you receive "both" confirmation emails regarding your site being upgraded successfully AND your modules upgraded successfully? Just wondering if maybe your cron job didnt kick off the module updates until a little while later.. Making you get that 500 error until they did upgraded?? Not sure but thinking out loud. 

Andrew Ua Какую версию вы используете? Перейти в Studio -> Панель инструментов -> Версия

Hi Chris - Yes, I received 2 confirmation emails: Site successfully updated to 11.0 and then Module upgrade success email - each were received within a minute of each other.
