Updating from 6.2.1 to 7.4.2 causes 500 error


Recommended Posts

I am long overdue an update because I keep hitting this issue.

So far -

  • I've updated the ioncube loader to version 6 for PHP 5.6 before trying to update.
  • I meet all the system requirements 
  • I've check if file permissions change and they all seem the same as the original files
  • I've deleted the .htaccess file just incase
  • I've check the memory limit which is 256MB.

I'm out of ideas as to why all pages show a 500 error when I try to run the update.

incompatible hook, addon, or template?

forget that the above link mentions v7.1, the principle is correct for all v7 versions.

Do you have SSH access to the box itself? If so, try using the CLI upgrader . I've found this to work in cases where the web interface won't work.

The CLI upgrader can be found in whmcs/install/bin, and can be accessed via ssh . To use it, just type the following

php installer.php (will show a ton of options)
php installer.php -u (will do the upgrade)

Like I said, I've seen this work when others failed, so it's definitely worth a shot here

If that fails, take a look through install/logs/installer.log. Usually (ok, sometimes:)) there's a helpful tidbit here that may help you get the error resolved
