File: global.php (Line no. 783)
Message
Undefined array key "avatartype"

I obtained the latest version of MyBB.

1. I uploaded the files in mybb_1830, overwriting all existing files, except ./inc/settings.php
   
2. I browsed to https://m1a.bayviewboom.org/MyBB/install/
   
3. I see "Welcome to the installation wizard for MyBB 1.8.30. MyBB has detected it is already configured in this directory."
   
4. I click "Upgrade to MyBB 1.8.30"
   
5. I login
   
6. I get:

Any fix?

Thx

Since you overwrote files can you check to ensure those new files have the correct permissions? https://docs.mybb.com/1.8/install/#file-permissions

Thx. I applied the new permission, and reset the admin password. 
Still getting same error.

The only thing I can think of is perhaps you're using a PHP version that MyBB does not support? MyBB currently supports PHP versions greater than or equal to 5.2 and less than 8.0.

Upon doing a google search most of the reasons for this error are related to PHP version.

My php was 8.1 Fast CGI (according to the webhost panel) or 8.0.2 (according to phpinfo.php). 

i downgraded our version to 7.4 Fast CGI. 

Now, i don't get an error, but when i try to login, the login screen just loads into the browser again, in an endless loop.

I'll try 7.4 without Fast CGI.

i changed PHP to PHP Version 7.4.15 (not fast cgi).
Still stuck in same loop.

Your forum homepage is still giving a 500 error for me. You'll need to ask your host for details from the error log on what is causing a 500 error, there shouldn't be any issues on 7.4 and a 500 is a very generic error, it sounds like something is still wrong somewhere.

I recommend checking the error logs on your server. If that doesn't work please check your permissions on your files/folders. Do you have a custom .htaccess file? 

Give me access to ftp. I'll take a look for you.
