Guest Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 Hi Just reading thru various security posts on the forum. I note that currently our site is using Ver 5.4.45, There is a server available with a later version, but I am wondering if our current site (Edge version from around mid July 2016) with modifications, would handle this version OK, or whether it would/could "break" our site. Appreciate any thoughts. Many thanks Grandp (Currently we're not experiencing any problems that Im aware of) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
♥Gyakutsuki Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 you can test your site in local with Winamp server or example or easy php server. But you must have the same php version than you have in your future production. With that, you will see if your website works fine or not else it's better to go in commercial request topic and ask a financial proposition for the developer. the second way is to create a subdomain with your new php (htaccess or admin panel configuration) version and copy your files to this subdomain test.

Jack_mcs Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 John - The version you are using should run under 5.6. But that refers to the core code. If you have installed old addons that have not been converted properly, there could be problems with those, though probably not. But since you have to change servers to test it, I suggest making a copy of your site on the test server and use the IP to test it first. This assumes your host will allow this.

If I understand what you wrote, you're currently running an 18 month old Edge on a PHP 5.4.45 server, and want to know if moving to a later PHP version (another server) will have any problems? If the later version is PHP 5.6, that should be fine (except possibly for any old add-ons, as discussed before). If it's 7.0 or 7.1, I'm not sure an Edge of that vintage has been upgraded to work on that level. You would probably have to start with a new Edge installation, and modify it to your needs. Of course, you have kept careful track of all add-ons and custom modifications as you went, so a new installation should be a breeze, right? :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
