Upgrading from earlier versions


Recommended Posts

Already opened up a bug (ticket DVZ-331740),  just creating  this here as well

I have a couple of really, really old WHMCS versions (some at 7.1.x), deliberately, to do testing and whatnot for clients.  Since they're dev installs and locked down to me only, I'm not terribly worried about threats there.

Tried to upgrade one of the 7.1.x versions to 9 and couldn't do so.  'Cannot read configuration file' the system said

Rolled back backup, upgraded to 8.13, then to 9, worked like a charm

Just a heads up for those that may be in the same position. Looks like some earlier versions aren't available for a direct upgrade

Hi @twhiting9275,

Thanks for the report. I've been able to replicate the issue when updating from 7.x or earlier to 9.0, and have opened WHMCS-24841 to investigate further.

It appears that a clean upgrade will resolve the issue:

1. Delete all old files (except /templates and configuration.php)
2. Extract the fresh 9.0 files into place
3. Visit /install/install.php
4. The upgrade process can be completed successfully
