Hello, My site has been running for years without problems and no maintenance at all. So I skipped several Phpmaker versions (system was generated using Phpmaker 2019).
Now my provider has upgraded PHP to 8+ and my site stopped working. So…I downloaded the latest Phpmaker 2023 version, a trial, to see if migration is possible. When loading the old pmp into Phpmaker it fails. Of
course I replaced phpmaker.php with tunnel.php but still no connection to my localhost mysql database.
When starting a new project it does connect and displays all tables, the older project shows nothing.
So…can anybody help with some suggestions on how to solve this? Thanks a lot PJ
After you open the old project, sync (not re-connect) it with your database. If it still does not work, you may open the old and new projects in a text editor, then copy the settings from the new to the old one.
The sync command reacts with “no changes to the database”, or a similar message.So I am trying to get PHPMAKER to import/show the tables, so far unsuccessful.To get production running again I tried a separate route using manual patches in the PHP based on the debug-info but that proved to be unfeasible for me.
Should I contact support during my trial license or do you have other suggestions.
The connection part is completely different. I changed the old connection part with the new one to no avail
Again a new project using the same database finds all tables with no problem, but my old project does not complain but leaves all tables empty in phpmaker. I’ll try support now…
Thanks,
