Craft Posted May 27, 2019 Share Posted May 27, 2019 I have WHMCS 7.3 and I would like to upgrade to 7.7 manually. I installed WHMCS 7.7.1 from Softaculous in cPanel. How can I merge my old database to the new one? I don't want to delete the new database and upload/restore the old backup because I see there is are new tables at the new database of version 7.7.1 that wasn't exist in the old version. So what I should do now? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kian Posted May 27, 2019 Share Posted May 27, 2019 Why don't you simply upgrade your 7.3 to 7.7? It takes few minutes. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately, the maximum version I found to upgrade automatically is 7.43 only. After I upgraded to 7.43, I don't see any more upgrading option. So, now I need to upgrade it manually. Any information for how to migrate the databases? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WHMCS ChrisD Posted May 28, 2019 Share Posted May 28, 2019 Hi @Craft This is because the system requirements between WHMCS 7.4 & 7.7 are different https://docs.whmcs.com/Version_7.0-7.4_System_Requirements vs https://docs.whmcs.com/System_Requirements where Versions 7.4 and below used IonCube Loaders 5.0.21 or 6.0.2 WHMCS v7.5.0 requires Ioncube Loader 10.1 or higher. The Automatic Updater verifies this requirement for you in v7.4.2. If you are using the Automatic Updater and are not yet on v7.4.2, then you will not see the v7.5.0 update but only v7.4.2. Use the Auto Updater to first update to v7.4.2. After this, v7.5.0 will be visible and the Automatic Updater will be able to verify all requirements before proceeding to this latest version. If you are not able to see any versions beyond 7.4.3 this indicates that your system is not using Ioncube Loaders 10.1 or higher as outlined in our System Requirements 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WHMCS ChrisD Posted May 29, 2019 Share Posted May 29, 2019 @Craft That may indicate that your server didn't have Ioncube Loaders 10 loaded for PHP 5.6, we do however recommend PHP 7.1 or 7.2 for WHMCS V7.5 & Later Once you go up to 7.5 you'll be able to go to 7.7 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now my version is (7.4.3), if I changed my php version to v7.1, my current WHMCS (7.4.3) will still works fine and I could see available upgrade to WHMCS v7.5? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WHMCS ChrisD Posted May 29, 2019 Share Posted May 29, 2019 Yes, you would need to upgrade to WHMCS 7.5 before going to 7.7 if you are using the automatic upgrader. If you'd rather go straight to 7.7 then you just need to follow the Manual Upgrade Process 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WHMCS ChrisD Posted May 29, 2019 Share Posted May 29, 2019 @Craft Yes, the manual upgrade process is located at https://docs.whmcs.com/Updating#Performing_a_Manual_Update you would be performing the Full Release Version Upgrade 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank @WHMCS ChrisD for your support and effort :) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
