V6 Upgrade Failure

[innovot]

Hello:

 

have attempted to upgrade from 5.3.14 -> 6.0.2 but unfortunately it failed. Once we had extracted the ZIP (full), copied the admin files to their custom path, and set permissions followed by going to the site we received "SQLSTATE[HY000] [2002] Connection refused". Thought this may be due to using mysql port shift but even with a NAT rule in place and removing the $db_port option it still failed.

 

Have recovered from backup and all is working again.

 

Are we missing any modules ?

Hope ticket XEE-211549 gets a look and that am able to pass on the resolution! From what I can see all pre-requisites for v6 exist.

if you have the time, might be worth getting a free developers license from WHMCS - that would allow you to have a separate installation to test v6 on your server.

 

if you're in a rush, you could always do a test v6 installation elsewhere on your server (perhaps using a copy of your current db) - you may need to reissue your license to use the v6, but that wouldn't affect the live v5.3 site client area.

Thanks for the reply. I created a PHP script for connecting to the MariaDB using PDO and that works fine!

 

<?php

   $db_host = 'dbserver';
   $db_port = '3307';
   $db_username = 'whmcs';
   $db_password = 'verycomplexpassword';
   $db_name = 'whmcs01';

try {
   $conn = new PDO("mysql:host=$db_host;port=$db_port,dbname=$db_name", $db_username, $db_password);

} catch (PDOException $pe) {
   die("Could not connect to the database $dbname :" . $pe->getMessage());
}
?>

After finding that V6 does not support a MySQL port shift was able to upgrade.
