Just migrated from PS 1.6 using the migration tool and now I have a blank screen in Backoffice and online store...

Hi, I just migrated from PS 1.6 using the migration tool and now I have a blank screen for both backoffice and website.

This is for a online webstore that's been online for many years.

I turned PS_MODE_DEV to true and I get this:

Warning: "continue" targeting switch is equivalent to "break". Did you mean to use "continue 2"? in /home4/amaxmed1/public_html/classes/Tools.php on line 5303

Fatal error: Access level to Link::getLangLink() must be public (as in class LinkCore) in /home4/amaxmed1/public_html/override/classes/Link.php on line 192

 

Host currently setup with PHP 7.3

Please help, I don't want to do a restore yet, if I can get it to work with your help.

Dan

EDIT:

After doing the migration with the latest thirty bees migration module, I did a refresh...

The Migration module updates to thirty bees 1.0.8, could it be that this version is not PHP 7.3 ready?

I am currently doing a Restore, and will try again, this time following the instructions specified below:

    - Uninstall the migration module, psonesixmigrator.
    - Install thirty bees’ update module, tbupdater.
    - Update all the modules in need of an update, one by one. Boring, but necessary.
    - Install Core Updater (coreupdater), thirty bees’ next generation updater.
    - Use Core Updater to update thirty bees further. Migration module updates to thirty bees 1.0.8 only, then Core Updater takes over.

 

... Fingers crossed.

EDIT #2

I performed a Restore from my server restore option and also restored the database created just before doing the migration.

Now, I am back to my previous Prestashop Backoffice 1.6.1.xx, everything works EXCEPT the modules tab, whenever I try to access the modules section on my backoffice, I get a "BLANK" page. Turn on Dev mode and no error is shown???

Did I just BREAK my 8 years old online shop permanently???

The main reason I wanted to migrate to TB is for the PHP 7.3-7.4 support because my Host is no longer offering older version of PHP and some of my modules stop to work properly after PHP version went up.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

 

God, I am starting to really regret this...

I think for now, I will have my site moved to the new host where PHP 7.2 is supported.

This way, I will be back online to take orders.

I will deal with the other stuff later...

Cheers

I've bought modules from him before. He is a good egg! I hope he has thrirtybees module replacements for you.

Did I mention you should have tested backups and backups of the backups tested before you even attempt this?

This will make it even worse if you do nothing as php 7.2 is EOL and php 7.3 will be EOL on Dec 6th 2021. I hope your server is locked down good...

I agree, but what is better, having a shop open for business with and EOL PHP version, or a shop that is currently not operational and loosing thousand $$$ per week?

As I said, this will give me time to setup a brand new ThirtyBees shop with new refresh theme and modules while still being able to operate my shop...

I hear ya but who said anything about closing your website? Your website should remain open until finial import into new.yourshop.com. Then move website...

[Billy]

Oh and I didn't even do that as I only had 12 orders in-between. In which I had all the paypal info of those orders. I could have just entered those 12 orders manually into my website but I chose not to. This is what I meant by finial import.

My current website is in Catalog mode now (No shopping options) since September 22nd, because of the bug with my payments modules caused by my host changing to PHP 7.3. So this is why I have to move it to the new Host that support older PHP versions so to have my shop running again...

Right now, I can take orders via email from my existing customers who are contacting me to place orders and I create PayPal invoice that I send to their emails.

But the site won't work for new customers...

Also, I use a separate invoicing system for all orders, online is just a way to accept orders and I supply receipts to customers via my offline invoicing system.

Cheers

I would strongly advice to use the services of someone more used with PS and TB for your issue before you funk up your website even more.

It's probably a trivial bug but it must be dealt with with attention.

Thanks for your inputs, at this point, I don't really care about the prestashop site, as it has been to much worked on and modified.

I want to start fresh with TB as the migration did not work for me, even if it showed successful, the backoffice site crashed immediately after I refresh the Backoffice page.

I have a question for you, is it possible to have 2 sites sharing the same database with one in maintenance mode?

Thanks for all your help.
