arjanvr Posted October 22, 2016 Share Posted October 22, 2016 Hello, If I want to upgrade from 6 to 7, can i simply export the database, install 7.0 and then import the database back to keep all existing data? Thanks 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xyzulu Posted October 22, 2016 Share Posted October 22, 2016 No, you should follow these steps: http://docs.whmcs.com/Upgrading#For_a_Full_Release_Version 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arjanvr Posted October 23, 2016 Author Share Posted October 23, 2016 Hello, I now get this error..? Forbidden You don't have permission to access /whmcs/install/ on this server. Server unable to read htaccess file, denying access to be safe Additionally, a 403 Forbidden error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request. Thanks! - - - Updated - - - This is when I chmod it to 644 the dirs and the files to 755. When I chmod install folder to 777 it just shows a white screen 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

arjanvr Posted October 23, 2016 Author Share Posted October 23, 2016 I turned on error display for php for bit and it shows below error somehow? "Fatal error: Class 'ComposerAutoloaderInitcdc18b5c9775a1b0dd74ed6015ab4b93' not found in" This was fine before i tried to update and then restore a backup..? I cant find anything on this error either 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arjanvr Posted October 23, 2016 Author Share Posted October 23, 2016 I also installed a new installation of whmcs and that does power up but to get the data from the old into the new I pointed it to the old database and then when I try to login it says Down for Maintenance (Err 2) An upgrade is currently in progress... Please come back soon... I already read now that that's what happening when you use and old database.. is there a fix for it? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arjanvr Posted October 23, 2016 Author Share Posted October 23, 2016 Since I had to update Ioncube loader for 7.0 i done that.. now that i again restore the backup it does now work again.. so perhaps Ioncube was the reason. I will now attempt to again upgrade 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
