Topic: Centos Upgrading php 5.3.3 and mysql 5.1.73 on Production server

Hi,

I have a magento 1.9 installation that has been running for a while now, I was looking at Magento 2 and wanted to start transferring some data across from the 1 installation.

But Magento 2 requires php 5.6 and mysql 5.6 at minimum to run. The server in question is Centos 6 and has webmin installed on it.

I have downloaded and enable your repo's but I am concerned that I will break the existing installation of magento If i upgrade php and mysql.

Is there anything I need to watch for when upgrading php and mysql.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!

You probably need to run the upgrade first on a "testing" environment, before applying to prod.

Laptop:  Fedora 38 + rpmfusion + remi (SCL only)
x86_64 builder: Fedora 39 + rpmfusion + remi-test
aarch64 builder: RHEL 9 with EPEL
Hosting Server: CentOS 8 Stream with EPEL, rpmfusion, remi

Yes I have tried the test server and I broke all of my test websites, only just manage to get them back. When updating php which modules will need to be updated also?

All wink

Compare output of "php --modules" before and after the update
