Hello,

I am trying to migrate a Drupal7 site to Backdrop CMS however, after following the steps in the documentation :
https://docs.backdropcms.org/documentation/step-3-upgrade-the-drupal-site

we have the error :
Error
\nNot authorized to perform installation
(the \n is written as it is and is not the line return char)
This error occurs on every page of the site, despite the HTTP response code being 200 (OK).

bee works and recognise the site (it does not throw any errors)

However, we have some warning :
Warning : Undefined array key "start" dans main() (ligne 693 dans /var/www/vhosts/<my_domain.com>/httpdocs/core/update.php).

Warning : foreach() argument must be of type array|object, null given dans update_get_update_function_list() (ligne 914 dans /var/www/vhosts/<my_domain.com>/httpdocs/core/includes/update.inc).

Warning : Trying to access array offset on value of type null dans _field_info_prepare_instance_widget() (ligne 406 dans /var/www/vhosts/<my_domain.com>/httpdocs/core/modules/field/field.info.inc).

and some other warning of the same nature

If you have any clue to help, thank you in advance

Did you successfully complete step 8, or are you only partway through those instructions?

yes, we followed each step of the tutorial twice and this error comes right by the end of process when we want to access the home page.

When I get errors I don't understand, I usually first search the codebase for where the message appears. When I search for "Not authorized to perform installation" I don't find it anywhere in the Backdrop core codebase. I wonder if that error is coming from your webhost.

Try moving everything to a different host or to a local instance and see if you get a different response. Or open a ticket with your webhost.

Hi Herb, that's a good insight. thanks

it's not coming from Backdrop, nor it's coming from our server, it's coming from CiviCRM!
