- I am following the migration guide from “7.14.3 to 8…5.1” . I have followed the listed steps.
- And STOP at : 2.4. Run the migration prepare command (sorry - i don’t have VPS or Dedicated server) just only Shared hosting.
- How to Run the migration prepare command in Guide Step !
Thank you very much !
Hey
Currently you need command line access to be able to upgrade the CRM to version. There’s no other way to do the upgrade.
You can temporarily buy a Cloud VPS and copy the crm to that server do the upgrade and then copy the files back to shared hosting

IF There’s no other way to do the upgrade by shared hosting >> … Solution for me, to hire VPS, Thanks @abuzarfaris
It doesn’t have to be a hired server, you can do it locally.
Also, is there really no way to run that command on your hired server? Ask the hosting company about it.
I don’t recommend (really, I mean it) running SuiteCRM in a server where you don’t have command-line access. There are even some free servers that offer it, let alone paid options.

I have learned these three suppliers, OVHCloud, Vultr and Linode … they have VPS at good prices/hardware and provide experience for new registered . (VPS Script installation by soneone at my Local)
I will upgrade to version 8.5.0 this year, because it is indispensable and the trend of the open source.
Thanks @pgr !
As my question is related:
I somehow read that somewhere in the future there is an assistant planned for migration of Suitecrm 7 to 8.
We are using (and preferring) ESR versions - and therefore are waiting for the first 8 ESR.
A command line update would be fine with me also - but with an assistant available at a later stage i would use the way of least trouble.
Is this info (assistant planned) still correct?
