Jack_mcs Posted March 16 Share Posted March 16 I am getting the failure shown below while trying to import data from a V2 shop. The account is set to php 8.1. Is V4 compatible with 8.1? Default value for parameters with a class type hint can only be NULL in /home/path-hidden/...com/install/install.class.php on line 37 Quote Support Links: For Hire: Contact me for anything you need help with for your shop: upgrading, hosting, repairs, code written, etc. Get the latest versions of my addons Recommended SEO Addons Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure, osCommerce 4.x is compatible with PHP 8.1 1 hour ago, Jack_mcs said: Default value for parameters with a class type hint can only be NULL in /home/path-hidden/...com/install/install.class.php on line 37 It is not import script. It seems you are trying to run osCommerce installation under PHP 5.x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How do I convert the database of a shop that only works with those versions?

Install the latest version of osCommerce v4. It requires PHP 7.4, 8.0, 8.1 Then use this manual to set up the OSC Bridge and import database: https://www.oscommerce.com/wiki/Importing_Data_from_Older_osCommerce_Version_to_New_One Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack_mcs Posted Sunday at 02:58 PM Author Share Posted Sunday at 02:58 PM @pandreiI'm sorry. I'm working on several conversions and got them confused. The error I posted is the correct error but it is for an installation, not a database conversion. The php version that the installation script is working with is 8.1.

Jack_mcs Posted Tuesday at 10:18 PM Author Share Posted Tuesday at 10:18 PM @pandreiAny idea when you might get to this? While waiting, I deleted all of the v4 files and tried again. Same failure. Unrelated to this, maybe, is that when the install file is extracted the permissions on the files are 664 so it causes a fatal error before extracting anything.

There are not any entries in the frontend log file. I assume you will need access for this so I will PM you with the details.

pandrei Posted Wednesday at 08:07 PM Share Posted Wednesday at 08:07 PM @Jack_mcs, Thanks for the access. It the simplest way to check your issue. You are trying to install osCommerce v4 on PHP 5.4.45 But osCommerve v4 requires PHP 7.3 or newer You can install on PHP 5.4.45 only OSC Bridge that allows you to export the database from osCommerce 2.x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack_mcs Posted 20 hours ago Author Share Posted 20 hours ago It turned out to be the install script replacing the .htaccess file, which removes the php version command added by cpanel.
