Hi there, I’m working with Kirby a lot, however I don’t know how to fix this, maybe someone has an idea. I’m trying to migrate/copy a finished dev version to another live server, however it doesn’t work. My guess, due to PHP reasons. The standard PHP version on the company’s servers is `7.2`, however Kirby needs at least `7.4`, so I changed it in the company’s server settings. But after I changed it, I saw this auto-added line inside the Kirby `.htaccess` file at the very top: `AddHandler php-fastcgi7.4 .php .phtml` So having this new line, the Kirby `.htaccess` file apparently doesn’t work anymore –\> the website shows an empty page. If I delete the line, the server reverts to PHP `7.2` and shows the custom Kirby error message since it needs `7.4`. I already tried the usual common culprits ie. • changing the `RewriteBase` paths • checking `mbstring` • checking `mod_rewrite` • deleting `media` or `cache` folder • tried PHP `8` to no avail. (A regular root-level `test.php` test file works) Thanks for any tips! ---

Question can be marked as solved or even deleted, works now. Some of the dev files got corrupted during copying to the live server via ftp. 🙄
