ghepas Posted November 28, 2021 Share Posted November 28, 2021 (edited) Hello. I need to upgrade my Prestashop version from 1.7.4.2 to 1.7.8.1 because the provider has notified the oncoming abandon of PHP 5.6.40, currently installed on the server. (The new PHP versions to switch to are 7.2 or 7.4). To upgrade PS I would like to use the "1-Click upgrade" module (Autoupgrade). This module has a checklist of requirements that must be met before starting the upgrade process. In my case, among the unsatisfied requirements, of course, it is reported that, as mentioned, the current PHP version on the server is obsolete ("The PHP version your server is running on is obsolete and needs to be upgraded."). However, there is also an option to "ignore" this warning and still proceed with the PS update to the new version. Can you please confirm that I can proceed with the update while PHP 5.6.40 is still active on the server? Immediately after that I will assign PHP version 7.4 to the server via the control panel (Directadmin) of my user area. If, on the other hand, I update PHP first, do I run the risk of losing access to the PS back office? (because my version of PS 1.7.4.2 is not compatible with PHP 7.4) If this happens, I can no longer use the module "1-Click upgrade" (Autoupgrade). Thanks Edited November 28, 2021 by ghepas (see edit history) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Second if not calculate how long you can be with your current server (most likey shared) and look for a VPS or even dedicated server. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bnadauld Posted November 28, 2021 Share Posted November 28, 2021 is there a guide to be able to migrate this way or any way. Im in the same situation. Old version of 1.7 needing to go to the latest on a VPS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First thing is to download all your files from the public_html or httpdoc if plesk, then download the database. You need to know a little what you are doing though. You set up VPS with vestcp you cannot go above ubuntu 18.4. Then set up all the required dependencies. You can PM me if you are unsure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PrestaHeroes USA Posted December 23, 2021 Share Posted December 23, 2021 Sorry late to party, if your hosting is forcing you to upgrade ps because they are dropping you php version, get better hosting that will allow you to run php compatible with your ps version. Upgrading ps for most is difficult process and you jeopardize destroying your shop. One should only upgrade ps to get new feature not because poor hosting company is dropping your php level. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Better not doing this on live shop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I decided to download my files and database and build a test environment in WAMP (this was to the spec of my current (ps working) hosting provider). After a lot of reading and problem-solving, it all worked. WAMP allowed me to juggle php versions and with debug on i located the offending module (in my case ap page builder) that wouldn't work past php 7.1. I suppose at this point you could settle on a less than latest php version or remove/upgrade the module/ps to suit. i killed the module. Good luck 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShashaGreyBeMyBride Posted December 31, 2021 Share Posted December 31, 2021 What I usually do is to upgrade as soon as a new upgrade is out, both Presta and PHP, and I rarely have problems... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Post your front office link if it does not embarrass you to much. You were given great advice but ignore it because you don't know what you don't know, which is a lot.

I ususally do the same. I have PHP 7.4.2.6 and PS1.7.8.1 and no problem. What I do a full domain backup, so if I have any problem I can go back. I actually find the PS more and more stable and I am very happy with Symfony migration and twig template usage. Is this not recommended? I did not go up to 8.2 this time. Shall I? Please let me know, I am always happy to learn! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
