Hi,
I tried to upgrade to Opencart 3 but now have a blank page.
It would be helpful if you know how I got to where I am with mucking everything up.
1. With my service provider, I tried to test if PHP 7.3 would work while I still had Opencart 1.5 running. Instead of just doing a test on pressing the test button, the whole site went blank.

2. I tried to revert back to PHP5 and screen still remained blank.
3. I thought if I can’t revert back, I might as well upgrade to Opencart 3.
So I downloaded and uploaded files to replace old ones in my store directory.
4. Qmod was downloaded and installed again. I checked it says Qmod is installed.
5. The ‘Cache’ was also cleared from my admin.
6. The .htaccess script was updated by my service provider. They also reset all file and directory permissions to their standard defaults.
The screen is still blank. I hope someone can help please.
Thank you.
So this is a common case for OC3 upgrade. The php version requirements below are in fact not fully applicable for OC3. And that you may went too far into the Opencart future with php7.3. You can try revert back the php as single steps, or seek for commercial support as the last resort.
Again, I wonder how you handle the op3 upgrade?
Code: Select all
The selected version 3.0.3.2 is not compatible with the selected install location.
Requirements:
php 5.4-7.2.99 (detected: 7.3.11)Thanks for the feedback. No wonder the service provider reverted back from PHP7.
Thanks.
Thanks.

When facing a problem, the thought "I might as well..." is the last thing you should have.
I am no expert on migrations from 1.5 to 3 but I am pretty sure that just overwriting the files will not suffice.
Suggest you restore your 1.5 store to working condition before considering upgrading or outsource the effort.

Did you try enabling error_display to On within your php.ini file? There may also be an error_log file generated by the server in your public_html and/or public_html/admin folders. Check those locations when connected to FTP or file manager.
This is 2020 and no one should be running PHP 5.x any more. So many security vulnerabilities and the performance of PHP 7.x is so much better. OC 3.x should be able to use PHP 7.2 and maybe 7.3

Just a note that, while upgrading to PHP 7 is a very good idea with many benefits. If host is offering older versions of PHP you would hope they are using one of the many versions with security patches backported.

What security patches? There are no more! 5.6 got its last patch a year and a half ago: https://www.php.net/eol.phpADD Creative wrote: ↑Thu Jun 04, 2020 8:08 pmJust a note that, while upgrading to PHP 7 is a very good idea with many benefits.

These versions are supported: https://www.php.net/supported-versions.php
Personally, I think it's more about educating end users to know how to check this and to know how to get upgraded to a supported version.

I wonder if there is a tool for customers to check and see if CloudLinux is being used or not. I did a quick search and couldn't find one.

You might be able to check using phpinfo(). https://www.cloudlinux.com/forum/forum18/topic1245
A lot of hosts seem to be advertising that they use CloudLinux or have patched unsupported versions. As you say it's still must better and worth the effort to use a PHP supported version.
