Use phpinfo() where you have uploaded OpenCart to and see which version of PHP it reports.

To elaborate:
Create a file called phpinfo.php and put this inside of it
Code: Select all
<?php
// Show all information, defaults to INFO_ALL
phpinfo();
?>
Then upload to the root directory on your server. public_html or user/var/www and open your browser and go to yourdomain.com/phpinfo.php (type in your actual domain)
Once you're done, make sure you delete that file form the server. It's a security risk to leave it uploaded.

Check that you don't have PHP 7.4 or similar in your .htaccess file. If you do, remove it and retry the upgrade.

Thanks for your replies
I have the following line in htaccess which I don't think is now the problem.
AddHandler application/x-httpd-ea-php82 .php .php8 .phtml
I've now tried to upgrade from 1.5 to 2.3 but when I run install as per the instructions I simply get a blank page with the url ending install/index.php?route=upgrade/upgrade
I've tried upgrading to v3 & 4 but on those I get the php problem
Thanks for any advice

How about following the post that talks about running phpinfo.php in the directory of your store you are trying to update?

Better upgrade to 3.0.4.0 and wait for a stable oc 4 release.
