Site Move 1.3.8a to Apache Server with PHP 5.3.2

I am moving a site with Zen Cart 1.3.8a to an Apache server with php 5.3.2

Initially I loaded the latest version 1.3.9 - everything eventually was loaded successfully. I then realized that that may have not been the right move, and I found the latest "site move" instructions.

Had problems right out of the gate and decided to just move all the old files and deal with the code manually.

I'm new to php, and what was happening on the fresh 1.3.8a upload and on my existing attempt at manual setup is this:

After I had got the db setup properly, /shop/index.php was giving me a blank page. I found some code finally to throw in so I could actually see some debugging, witch took me to an error with line 18 of application_top.php ----> set_magic_quotes_runtime(0); Deprecated for that php version (5.3.2) I commented out the line, may have fixed one more error, now I am back to a blank page again.

I've looked at my phpinfo file on the server. I am not the host, so I need the right fix to ask for from them - How to get the debugging to be turned on for php.... display_errors appears to be set to ON. error_reporting is set to 22519 (odd?) this should be E_ALL ?

Also, might anyone know any other conflicting problems between these versions of software Zen & PHP

Thanks

There is a PHP 5.3 patch which is required for v1.3.8a, else you will get nothing but a blank page such as you are. The patch should be in the Free Addons section [link at top of this page] or you can do a Forum search for it. Any version of 1.3.9 on a Server with PHP 5.3 works fine without the patch.

I then realized that that may have not been the right move

Actually it was the right move. You should be using 1.3.9h and not trying to update 1.3.8a, which has known security issues.

I don't mind upgrading to 1.3.9, but I think I need to move it as 1.3.8 so I can maintain my site structure. Thought that might be easiest to get the move completed.

Thanks for the heads up on the patch!

Anybody know the location of this "patch"? I can't seem to find when I do a search of the forums, or while searching the "add ons".
