HTTP Error 500 when logging into backend

Hey there,

I am trying to reactivate a relatively old Kirby installation.

The frontend is only showing a white screen.
The panel login window works normal, but when I login with the admin details I only get an HTTP Error 500.

Do you have an idea how I can fix this?

Thank you very much!

Please provide more information:

Which version exactly?

What is your PHP version?

3

The Kirby version is 2.1.0
PHP version is 8.0

This cannot possibly work, such an old Kirby version is not compatible with PHP 8.x

The last PHP version supported by Kirby 2 is PHP 7.4, and that is only true for version 2.5.14+

I’d recommend you update your installation to Kirby 3.

Alright thank you very much!
