Prestashop php downgrade 8.2 to 8.1 fail

nqo · November 9, 2023, 11:57pm

Hey all,

I need to the php version my Prestashop install uses.

I would be grateful for any tips about where my setup and attempts (see below) might be going wrong.

My YunoHost server

Hardware: Old computer - Mac Mini circa 2014
YunoHost version: 11.1.19 (running on VM via VirtualBox)
I have access to my server :

Through SSH
through the webadmin
direct access via keyboard / screen

Are you in a special context or did you perform some particular tweaking on your YunoHost instance ? : no

Description of my issue

What you are trying to achieve
Downgrade the php version prestashop uses from 8.2 to 8.1.

The context

My prestashop is throwing lots of errors (see below), that are a known issue of running

The Yunohost Prestashop app combines Prestashop 8.1.1 with php 8.2. But Prestashop is currently only compatible with php 8.1 or lower. See here: System requirements for PrestaShop 8 :: PrestaShop Developer Documentation

I have raised an issue with the Yunohost Prestashop packagers requesting the downgrade here: Issues · YunoHost-Apps/prestashop_ynh · GitHub

But in the meantime, I need to downgrade the php.

What I tried

Attempt 1:

I followed instructions from @flatrongraad here: [SOLVED] Baikal problems since 0.9.3-ynh3 upgrade - #5 by flatrongraad - Support apps - YunoHost Forum

Why: This was the only post I found on Prestashop forums or YH forums offering a strategy for downgrading php version.

Result 1: I get an error half way through, when I try to extract the tar folder.

Attempt 2:

I tried different way to extract the tar folder, as shown here: Can't tar files: Refusing to read archive contents from terminal - Unix & Linux Stack Exchange

Why: Based on these posts

Result 2: None of the different tar extraction strategies worked.

Returned error messages

Error message in console

Questions

Please let me know if you know another way to get around this one block in my php downgrade. Or if you know the YH app packagers for Prestashop, please nudge them for me. Thank you for reading.

Hi @ericg

Thank you for updating the testing branch.

My php version has been downgraded. Success!

Unfortunately, the errors persist.

Hi all,

I removed these errors by running the following queries in PHPMyAdmin:

UPDATE `ps_category_lang` SET `additional_description`='' WHERE `additional_description` IS NULL;
UPDATE `ps_category_lang` SET `description`='' WHERE `description` IS NULL;
UPDATE `ps_category_lang` SET `meta_description`='' WHERE `meta_description` IS NULL;
UPDATE `ps_category_lang` SET `meta_keywords`='' WHERE `meta_keywords` IS NULL;
UPDATE `ps_category_lang` SET `meta_title`='' WHERE `meta_title` IS NULL;

Thanks to @Hlavtox here: Category issue after bulk uploading categories using PHP 8.2. After downgrading to PHP 8.1, errors persist · Issue #34535 · PrestaShop/PrestaShop · GitHub

Sharing in case someone here has similar troubles with Prestashop on Yunohost.
