4/- ftp'loaded the file (from 1.7.4 version ) from my server location (hosteur.com) ;
- read the lines around 1797 to try anderstanding what to do ;
- no way for me to see what to do

btw I put PHP 8.0 on my dataspace (on server location)

any help ?
Thanks.

See webtrees.net/faq/upgrade-numeric/

> I put PHP 8.0 on my dataspace

First, you must upgrade to webtrees 1.7.20
This requires PHP 5.3 - 7.3
Can you temporarily downgrade to PHP 7.3?

Then upgrade manually to webtrees 1.7.20
Visit the site to ensure the upgrade scripts run.

Then upgrade to PHP 8.*

Then upgrade to webtrees 2.1.6

I'll try it now.

version of PHP put to 7.3 on server ;:
but in phpadmin it says :

What does it means ?

You do not need to use phpMyAdmin.
This is to access your database.

> I'll try it now.

What did you try? It is difficult to guess.

sorry for my "ok I'll try. Wanted to tell I changed PHP 8.0 to 7.3

Just copied zipfile 1.7.20
and unzipped it and
put all the files on my server / directory webtrees via ftp (a lot ~ 7524 files)

Tomorrow I'll continue that migration for 1.7.20 to 2.1.6. if all is ok (-> PHP 8.0 etc.)

I'll come back here for a short report.
Thanks a lot.

I entered my site on "my pages"
Panneau de contrôle — Tableau de bord
Ces pages donnent accès à tous les paramètres de configuration et outils de gestion de ce site webtrees.
webtrees 1.7.3
Le support et la documentation sont disponibles sur webtrees.net.
Une nouvelle version de webtrees est disponible. Mettre à jour avec la version 1.7.20 de webtrees.

I chose to update :
Assistant de mise à jour
Une nouvelle version de webtrees est disponible.
Selon la configuration de votre serveur, vous pouvez être capable de mettre à jour automatiquement.
Plusieurs minutes peuvent être nécessaires pour télécharger et installer la mise à jour. Soyez patient.

Again I got :
Décompresse webtrees-1.7.20.zip vers un dossier temporaire…#0 /vendor/pclzip/pclzip/pclzip.lib.php:1797 ErrorException("A non well formed numeric value encountered")
#1 /vendor/pclzip/pclzip/pclzip.lib.php:783 privOptionDefaultThreshold()
#2 /admin_site_upgrade.php:358 extract()

It seems me odd that reference to pclzip.lib.php, since this file is nos present among my decompressed 1.7.20 files (but present in the directory of my server ( www.clercin.eu/webtrees/vendor/pclzip/ with a date of 2020-11-15 ;

any help ?

Forgotten to update php?
Oublier metre a jour php?

No, I put php at 7.3 before....

PHP Version 7.3.33-8+0~20221028.101+debian10~1.gbpb248c7

before going to 2.1.6 you must update php to 8.*

Thanks ; I remember that. But presently the problem is first migrating from 1.7.3 to 1.7.20 with php 7.3 before 2.1.6 and PHP 8.0 ...

See webtrees.net/faq/upgrade-numeric/

What did you try?

You need to select PHP 7.3 and also upgrade manually to 1.7.20

Check your site is still working.

Then you can complete the upgrade:

1) update config.ini.php
2) select PHP 8
3) manually ugprade to 2.1.6

After having met recurrent problems that had nothing to do with webtrees, Il solved myself
As you recommended :

1/- From 1.7.4 -> 1.7.20 (manually and with php put to 7.3)
2/- then from 1.7.20 -> 2.1.6 (manually and with php put to 8.0).

My webtrees pages are operational again with 2.1.6.

Lesson learned : be quiet ; read the docs ; follow your expert advices.

Thanks for your help.


NB. I'm a newbie, inheriting a 1.7.3 version on my provider's account.

Fine! Now you should be able to do an automatic upgrade from 2.1.6 to the actual 2.1.16.
