Update 1.7.8.11 to 8.x

[Dillinja]

Dear Prestashop Forum,

I tried to update from 1.7.8.11 to the latest 8 version via 1-Click Upgrade.

What I have done so far:

• removed every thirdparty addon
• updated every other addon
• disabled cache
• removed cache (var/cache/...)
• switched to standard-theme

So when I tried to run the update, it crashes after cleaning file cache with the following error:

Cleaning file cache
[SKIP] directory "/app/cache/" does not exist and cannot be emptied.
[CLEANING CACHE] File CACHEDIR.TAG removed
[CLEANING CACHE] File prod removed
Running opcache_reset
[INTERNAL] /home/.../vendor/prestashop/autoload/src/LegacyClassLoader.php line 175 - include(/home/.../var/cache/prod/class_index.php) [function.include.php]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory
[INTERNAL] /home/.../vendor/prestashop/autoload/src/LegacyClassLoader.php line 175 - include() [function.include.php]: Failed opening '/home/.../var/cache/prod/class_index.php' for inclusion (include_path='/home/.../vendor/pear/pear_exception:/home/.../vendor/pear/console_getopt:/home/.../vendor/pear/pear-core-minimal/src:/home/.../vendor/pear/archive_tar:.:/usr/local/share/pear')

So it clears the cache folder and then it want's to include the file class_index.php from there?

I don't understand that.

Does someone knows this behavior?

Thanks for your thoughts and help.

Cheers,
Michael

 

Edit: the 1-Click Upgrade Module ist on it's latest version. (6.0)

To be honest. Better make clean 8.1 with new / updated theme and modules. Transfer data base after. Similar 1.6->1.7, 1.7->8.1 will give you pain in the future.

May be a opcache issue, try to deactivate it before upgrade.

As Nickz said. Make sure your theme / modules will work on new version if its live store.

Guys, according to the attached screenshot I have the latest 1.7.x version which is 1.7.8.11.

How come V8 is not coming up in the one-step upgrade page?

Anyway, my shop uses the classic theme without any additional modules. It's a very simple shop with 70 products and a few category pages.

Do you have latest version of 1-click upgrade? Either consider clean 8.2 install and migrate the data.

Can you change update channel from minor to "major"?

Option should be here: Yellow button on the right side "Expert mode".

How, I see it.

Thank you buddy.

Time to upgrade PHP...!

[PiotrGT]

It looks like the upgrade went well.

The website is working but some mods need to made to it's appearance (custom stuff that I did in the older release).

Should I be worried about this error log which was generated post the upgrade?
