There is no error.log file!

Usually it is in the root of the site (/public_html or may be
/public_html/pmwiki).
You need ssh or ftp access to the site.

Check your error.log
May be you use some recipes that doesn't work under PHP7.2
because
uses obsoleted PHP functions.

Hi,
my provider did an update to PHP7.2 (from PHP5.6) - after this I
had severe problems with my PM Wiki site; all pages have been
empty; the sidebar wasn't visible.. I had a small window to go
back
to PHP5.6 and I did an PM Wiki update to 2.2.113 (from 2.2.14) -
under PHP5.6 everything was fine, but after my provider finaly
switched to PHP7.2 I had the same problem. Any advice?
Regards, Michael
I had to resurrect a pmwiki when I updated from PHP 5.6 to PHP 7.2 on
RHEL. The problems were entirely related to plugins or skins. Many
required updating, but many of them in use were no longer currently
maintained, so it ended up that they had to be fixed or removed. It
wasn't easy to remove them, so fixing became the best option, and the
patched files were uploaded to the relevant plugin pages on the
PMWiki project wiki.
There is no information given about what plugins or skins might have
been in use, etc. It seems unlikely for help to be possible with so
little effort given to providing information.
Was a backup of the wiki made at any time? Providers like Softaculous
offer backups being made before updates. Even if not made before an
update, a backup made after would potentially allow for dropping
the files on a local system or VM to debug if the web host does
not allow shell access. Did you ask for shell access?
Here are brief notes about the site I fixed:
KB: 2018/12:
The pmwiki site broke completely after upgrading from PHP 5.6 to PHP
7.2.
The breakage appeared to be exclusively due to “Warning:
preg_replace(): The
/e modifier is no longer supported” issues.
To address the issues, first, the site was upgraded to: pmwiki-2.2.110
The triad skin was updated to the newest available at the time of the
repair.
Numerous cookbook files were either upgraded from the pmwiki site, or
were
locally patched. In most cases, locally patched files were uploaded to
the
pmwiki site (https://pmwiki.org/wiki/Cookbook/) pages pertinent to the
files
that were edits, though in two cases, the pmwiki recipe pages were
themselves
affected by the preg_replace error, and changes could not be shared at
the
time they were made. The list of cookbook's modified:

Naturally, your site will not be identical, but if you have things in the
cookbook folder, probably they should be checked first and upgraded or
edited as needed. When looking for upgrades, don't just download the
plugin/skin tarball. Many plugins have individual files posted when a
maintainer is not actively maintaining them.
Other places for files that needed fixing were pub/* folders associated
with plugins or skins, though for me, only handytoc put files there
that needed changing.
You should probably enabled diagnostics by uncommenting a line in the
local/config.php file:
# $EnableDiag = 1; # enable remote diagnostics
There were only a few types of changes that had to be made. Provided that
they turn out to be relevant, you could also look at how I changed the
aforementioned files by examining what was uploaded to the plugin page
and comparing it to the original published file.
Good luck. Without more facts, actual help is hard to give.
Kevin
