Zulan Posted October 5, 2020 Share Posted October 5, 2020 Hello! My hosting provider doesn't provide older php versions like 7.2. Because of this I can not get the latest version 1.7.6.8 running on a new site. Do you think its a wise idea to start using the beta 2 of 1.7.7.0 that seem to work and start adding products and fixing with my theme? The thing that scares me is that there is no upgrade path from beta 2 to release once it's released. I dont want all the work of adding products to go to waste.

Crezzur.com Posted October 5, 2020 Share Posted October 5, 2020 Prestashop version 1.7.6.8 supports PHP 7.3, does this solve your issue? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zulan Posted October 5, 2020 Author Share Posted October 5, 2020 My hosting provider has php version 7.4.3. I have tried with 1.7.6.8 but I can't add products. It looks weird and I cant continue since it sais some fields should not be empty even though there is data in the fields. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You need to downgrade to PHP version 7.3, if your hosting provider does not support this then you need to find a new one. PHP version 7.4 was released on November 28th, 2019. Prestashop is making the necessary upgrades however they have 10.000 of files and this takes some time. I do understand that a hosting company does not want to support PHP 5.+, The difference between 7.3 and 7.4 however is not that big (no security breaches which cannot be resolved in php 7.3) Edited October 5, 2020 by Crezzur (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In this case I'd recommend you to wait for some weeks to PrestaShop 1.7.7 release 🤷♂️ Don't use 1.7.7.0b2 as probably you will have problems to upgrade to next releases.

Zulan Posted October 5, 2020 Author Share Posted October 5, 2020 Thanks for your input. I will host a 1.7.6.8 installation myself and add products to it and finish up the site. Once 1.7.7.0 is released I will most likely be able to move the site to my provider. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crezzur.com Posted October 5, 2020 Share Posted October 5, 2020 @joseantgv The funny thing about this is that their own system requirements tool gives PHP 7.3 as recommended settings for prestashop 1.7.6.8. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
