Hi forum,
I want to move ojs installation from a old redhat 5 server to a new debian 9 server.
We currently run 2.4.7.1 on the rhel5 server, but would also like something newer.
I have a new debian 9 server which should be the new ojs server.
My first plan was to upgrade ojs on the rhel5 to newest version of ojs, and then install same version on the debian and copy database (export dump/import dump) and data.
However that plan failed because the rhel5 cannot meet the php requirements of ojs 3.1.1-4
So a new plan was made which was to install the old version 2.4.7.1 on the debian 9 server and then copy database and data:
However this plan also failed because the old version don’t play well with php 7.
I get the following error:

So which upgrade/migration path should I choose?
