This was an issue with earlier versions of Placid, you're correct. The latest version of the plugin has this issue addressed https://github.com/alecritson/Placid/releases/tag/1.6.16

Alec, thanks so much for letting me know. I'll go ahead and re-enable Placid then, and continue work with it.

<p>I'm having a few irregular errors after upgrading via the automatic update. When trying to visit the dashboard I get:</p>
<blockquote>
<p><strong>Internal Server Error</strong></p>
<p>Passed variable is not an array or object, using empty array instead</p>
</blockquote>
<p>My <code>max_execution_time</code> and <code>memory_limit</code> are set pretty high, and I believe the upgrade completed successfully. But I cannot view the dashboard or settings pages. Everything else seems to be fine.</p>
<p>Do I have to fully revert and re-try the upgrade via the manual method?</p>

If you enable devMode and load the page, it should show the full stack trace leading up to that error.  Can you share that?

See, you're so smart. LOL. Once I did that, I could see that the Placid plugin was throwing the array error, likely trying to integrate something into the Dashboard page itself? That plugin wasn't critical to production anyway, so is fine to sit disabled. Thanks, Brad.

Errors after upgrade to Craft 2.5
# Errors after upgrade to Craft 2.5

(Asked by: username_0 on 2015-12-28)

I'm having a few irregular errors after upgrading via the automatic update. When trying to visit the dashboard I get:

> **Internal Server Error**
>
> Passed variable is not an array or object, using empty array instead

My `max_execution_time` and `memory_limit` are set pretty high, and I believe the upgrade completed successfully. But I cannot view the dashboard or settings pages. Everything else seems to be fine.

Do I have to fully revert and re-try the upgrade via the manual method?

To answer my own question: There may be some plugin incompatibilities when upgrading to Craft 2.5. This is to be expected, given all the variables. In my case the **Placid** plugin was not yet compatible, as seen when I put Craft into `devMode`.

So either:

1. Wait on the upgrade until your plugins are current, or
2. Disable lagging plugins as necessary if you need the bleeding edge.
