So I have a hosting plan that allows the use of "Addon Domains" so I only use one hosting plan, for multiple websites/OC shops.
So I have 3 shops running v2.3.0.2 and I'm installing a new OC shop (v3.0.3.9). I went to the new url to start the install process for the new v3.0.3.9 and it says "PHP7.3+ Required"
So that made me wonder, since these are all on the same Hosting plan, what is the highest PHP level I can go to in which my existing shops (v2.3.0.2) can still work fine? Or are PHP upgrades backwards compatible in a sense that PHP 8+ can still run older shops (designed with older versions of PHP in mind at that time) without an issue?
I figured I'd check here instead of trying something and breaking the existing shops.
Check the PHP version you are using on your server. You might still be under.ggrant3 wrote: ↑Wed May 08, 2024 8:24 pmSo I have a hosting plan that allows the use of "Addon Domains" so I only use one hosting plan, for multiple websites/OC shops.

Currently the existing 2.3.0.2 sites are running on 5.6 and the hosting company has a max option of 8.3 right now.straightlight wrote: ↑Wed May 08, 2024 8:56 pmCheck the PHP version you are using on your server.

Upgrading your PHP version where your OC v3.0.3.9 store is hosted might resolve the issue. You can also try the opencart-3 version that specifically supports PHP 8.3 and see if you are able to upgrade as well: https://www.github.com/opencart/opencart-3 .ggrant3 wrote: ↑Wed May 08, 2024 10:23 pmCurrently the existing 2.3.0.2 sites are running on 5.6 and the hosting company has a max option of 8.3 right now.straightlight wrote: ↑Wed May 08, 2024 8:56 pmCheck the PHP version you are using on your server.

The key is when you create an add on domain, set the directory to /home/cpanel-username/new-domain (that last directory would be your domain). You don't want to use the same /home/cpanel-username/public_html folder for all add ons. When you do this, you can set a different PHP version for each of these domains, if needed.

OpenCart 2.3.0.2 should just about work on PHP 7.3. You may need to update system/library/encryption.php if any extension you are using use it. Also make sure you have display errors off in all 3 places.ggrant3 wrote: ↑Wed May 08, 2024 8:24 pmSo I have a hosting plan that allows the use of "Addon Domains" so I only use one hosting plan, for multiple websites/OC shops.

Any third party extension you are using will be a different matter. You are probably best trying to test compatibility first.
For OC 3.0.3.9 or 3.0.4.0 I'd recommend PHP 7.4 or 8.x .
