Can't upgrade db: Admin Password Required- but won't accept my password

[DrByte]

laurelsstitchery, my last post was directed at DarkAngel, not you. I'm pretty sure your situations are different.

Thanks DrByte,
now it accepts the password but the next page is BLANK and the logs has this Fatal Error:

PHP Fatal error: require_once(): Failed opening required '/home/myserverspace123/public_html/shop/../includes/classes/vendors/password_compat-master/lib/password.php' (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php') in /home/myserverspace123/public_html/shop/includes/classes/class.zcPassword.php on line 52

I have the same exact error. :)

ellivir and laurelsstitchery,
Just double-checking ... what PHP version are you using?

[laurelsstitchery]

I'm on 5.4.30 :)

[DrByte]

I'm on 5.4.30 :)

Puzzling.
Ajeh and I have tested on 5.3.10 and 5.4.30 and 5.5.7 and had no problems with it. Hmmmm...

[DrByte]

Granted, I think our configure.php files are all built with v1.5.3, not copied from older versions.

[laurelsstitchery]

If I went ahead and ran the SQL files via the patch installer in admin, would it work?

[laurelsstitchery]

I guess if the whole thing imploded, it's not a huge deal because this is just a test site on my new host's server.

[DarkAngel]

no i did not remove any either but...it seems that although super orders is great in 1.5.1 and lower, it does not place nice with 1.5.3

It has a file that when it is on the server the admin will let you log in but then gives you a totally white page

so I removed the file and was able to get back the admin section.

I also noticed that it worked to edit the files in 1.5.1 but this version has different coding so it choked up.

Hope the mod creators for ty tracker, superorders and edit orders get their packages updated with 1.5.3 code

[laurelsstitchery]

Well, doing the patches via the SQL installer in admin didn't work either. Back to the drawing board.

[laurelsstitchery]

This is off-topic for this thread I guess, but tell me if this will work:
1. Downgrade to PHP 5.2 on new host
2. Install ZC 1.5.1 on new host
3. Backup database (1.5.1) on old host
4. Import old database to new host
5. Upgrade ZC to 1.5.3
6. Upgrade PHP back to 5.4.30

I can't figure out another way to do it and have everything work.

Your upgrade issue is not an issue with PHP 5.4
