Hi,
Unfortunately my Host has updated their PHP version to 4.4 which made my site to stop working. I apparently need to update to 3.7RC1 to get it work.
Could some please give me a walkthrough how to update the site to 3.7? I am truly desperate and I get the impression that there is a few of us with the same problem.
It's running on a Apache webserver on a Linux machine with MySQL
Thanks in advance!
Thanks in advance

Hi..
Sorry to hear about the upgrade to PHP4.4, I still have some troubles with 3.7 on PHP4.4..
The upgrade process is the same as ever - I upgraded from 3.5 to 3.7, following the instructions noted in http://ez.no/doc/ez_publish/technical_manual/3_6/installation/upgrading/upgrading_from_3_5_2_to_3_6_0
eZ 3.7 is essentially 3.6 modified to work on PHP4.4.
Essentially what you must do is: - backup everything - disable the site, just in case - update distribution files - update the database (in the update directory you will find all necessary SQL scripts) - run update scripts (PHP) to modify the data- clear the cache
It's all in the docs, upgrade instructions can be found for older versions too if you want to be safe.
Please contact me by email, I would like to have more information from someone running eZ 3.7, I have some weird troubles (with search and some forms).
Thanks.

Hi!
Thanks for the reply, but can upgrade directly from 3.4.1 to 3.7RC1?

From 3.4.1 to 3.7RC1 is a huge leap. To bee on the safe side I think it's best to upgrade first to 3.5 and 3.6. -----Remember to back up your site first.----------
As a alternative you cud demand your money back from your host, and then host your site somewhere else!
-Where do you host your site?

Yeah, that was actually what i though but I would be great if someone good give me a short walkthrough.
Can I just upgrade from 3.4.2 to 3.5.2 and then from 3.5.2 to 3.7RC1? I have the information about the process from 3.5.2 to 3.6 but not from 3.4.2 to 3.5.2. Which scripts should I run?
I would really apreciate it if someone could take the time and explain this step.
