    Alex, here are the steps I've tried:

    Downloaded the 4.4.2 to 4.4.4 patch. Extract files. Upload via ftp. Overwrite all files. Couldn't even get to /amamber/admin-upgrade because of the error I received in api.php

    Tried upgrading through the web interface and got the dreaded 2012 error "Key must be a string".

    Downloaded the full 4.4.4 package to overwrite all files. Uploaded all files. Again got the error with api.php.

    Overwrote just the old api.php with the version from 4.4.2. Then I was back to the "Key must be a string" error.

    You need to upgrade PHP to 5.3 or above on your server. It will fix this issue.

    Thanks for the reply. Is it 4.4.3 or 4.4.4 that requires PHP 5.3.x?

    Both require 5.3 or above.
