Upgrading from C5 5.5.1 - PHP Errors

Permalink
Hi,

recently I have discovered that one of my sites shows just errors because my hosting company now only supports PHP 5.6.

At the moment I have no access to the dashboard although the login is somehow visible and working.

I would like to know if this is suitable for my problem to solve?
https://documentation.concrete5.org/developers/installation/upgradin...

What's the next version (legacy if necessary) of C5 that works with PHP 5.6?

Many thanks.

Here is the legacy documentation on that same topic -https://legacy-documentation.concrete5.org/tutorials/manually-upgrad...

I would suggest using the "Method 2" option, this should work even if you can't access your dashboard. You will want to upgrade to 5.6.0, 5.6.3, and 5.6.3.4 in increments so you are up to the latest legacy version.

Make sure that you get a database backup before you start in case something goes wrong (server timeout) upgrading to 5.6.0.

Hi,

great news. The website is working fine now, except I get logged/kicked out whenever I attempt to do something in the dashboard.

I can access the dashboard viawww.www.mysite.com/index.php/dashboard.... That's it. Nothing is possible to do here as I get logged out straight after that. I cannot use the edit mode at all.

The dashboard bar appears for a milisecond after login in and disappears for good.

First when I tried to upgrade to 5.6.0 I got an error message with database and userID etc.... Then I tried disabling update protection with this config/concrete.php

<?php
return array(
    'updates' => array(
        'enable_permissions_protection' => false
    )
);


Also the upgrade to 5.6.3.1 was successful, even after I removed config/concrete.php

Am I missing something? Please help.

Thanks
