Call to a member function Execute() on a non-object- ZC v1.2.6

[warpdesign]

Hi, I'm moving a Zen Cart installation from one server to a new server. I backed up all the files in the Zen Cart directory and also did a SQL dump of the database. Then uploaded all the files to the new server and reinstated all the SQL tables. Then I updated all the settings in the includes>configure.php file.

I hit the front end of the store front and everything *appears to be working correctly but at the bottom of the page I get the following error:

Fatal error: Call to a member function Execute() on a non-object in /home/content/o/h/a/ohanaprod/html/shop/includes/functions/sessions.php on line 72

Any ideas?

What version of PHP was on the old server?
And what's on the new server?

What version of Zen Cart are you using?

Zen Cart v1.3.7.1 and newer work with PHP 5. Prior to that only works on PHP 4.

Old server: php 4.46
New Server: php 5.2.5

I'm not sure what version of Zen cart I'm running but it's over a year old.

Anything that old won't play well with the new 5.2 PHP.

Why not take this opportunity to upgrade?

oooh boy. I'm nervous about upgrading. It took so much work to get Zen Cart working properly in the first place. How hard is it going to be to upgrade? will I loose all my customizations? Is there a walk through somewhere on the site that explains the process of upgrading?

When I log into the admin area of my zen cart it says in the upper right hand "Your version of Zen Cart™ appears to be current." How can I know if I even need to upgrade? I can't seem to find anywhere what version I'm running.

If your admin says it's current, it's probably not a year old. When you click on "Version" in the admin toolbar, what version do you see?

[warpdesign]

I can't find anywhere in the admin area to click on to show me the version it's running. The word "version" only appears in the sentence in the upper right hand corner and it's not hot linked...

EDIT:
OK, in the menu Tools>Server Info the resulting page says I'm running Zen Cart 1.2.6

Could this issue have something to do with the sessions settings? Since the error says it's showing up in sessions.php, I thought this might have something to do with is. Obviously all the sessions logged in the database from the old server are no longer valid on the new one.

I also can not log into the admin area on the new server. When I put in the username and password into login.php it sends me to index.php which instantly takes me back to login.php.

You need to upgrade your Zen Cart or downgrade your php version -

Thanks Kim! I think that did it.
