Here is the problem: php = 5.5.38

I've tried to update chevereto with old php version too - it doesn't work with php < 5.6 and Rodolfo told about it many times.

 

[Phil Boyd]

So update PHP?

 

[Che]

Yep, I think so ... I restore my chevereto from backup and now admins work with php update on my server, have no results at the moment (I have many domains and scripts on the server so it is not easy to update php, will test old scripts in first, then update chevereto again)

 

[Phil Boyd]

Well it seems PHP 7 isn't going to work with other sites i have.

How can I "revert" back to previous version?

 

[JakeSully]

if you updated your site to 3.12 then you cannot revert without a backup.

That's why always do a backup first before running a update. Secondly you can use php 5.6 instead of 5.5, since it requires from 5.6 and up to work.

 

[Phil Boyd]

Well, v5.6 worked. Thanks!

 

[Phil Boyd]

Thanks for the help .. got one more question.

My dashboard says its v3.12.0 but the database is 3.11.1.

I'm a little gun shy right now about updating.
With php v5.6 will I have any issues just updating the database or will now be a good time for a back up?
