New Instalation - upgrading PHP

[stayfi]

Hello,

I tried to update my current espocrm with an updated php version, but got into trouble,

so i installed a new version of Espo and an updated PHP version

What's the best way (easiest way) to duplicate my older Espocrm version on the newer one.

Hello,

Which EspoCRM and PHP versions were you using before, and which versions are installed now?

For a complete copy, you need both the old installation’s files and its database, including customizations and attachments. I’d first restore that copy in a separate environment with a compatible PHP version, then follow the supported upgrade path.

Avoid importing the old database directly into a different EspoCRM version before checking compatibility.

Do you have a full backup, and does the old installation still work? Here is the official migration guide:
