Prestashop upgrade from 1.7.1.2 to new version

Can Someone tell me the proper process to upgrade Prestashop 1.7.1.2 to the new version? I have to upgrade my Prestashop version because the PHP version I was using was outdated, so I have upgraded my PHP version. After I upgraded my PHP version, my Prestashop 1.7.1.2 backend didn't open. Because this version of PrestaShop won't support the latest PHP version. I don't want to use outdated PHP version also because my hosting provider charges me a lot.
It would be great, I can upgrade my PrestaShop. So, I need a proper step by step process to upgrade Prestashop.
Also, how do I change my shop into maintenance mode by changing the code? Keep in mind, my backend won't open. I have to change it programmatically.
I already have done a lot of google searches and won't get the proper procedures.
To disable your shop from the database, go to the configuration table and
search where name = PS_SHOP_ENABLE, set this to NULL.

MAMP Pro and PDO-dblib

For some days I've been using MAMP Pro 3.07 from http://www.mamp.info.
Great tool and all works fine.
But now I have the problem, that for a new project I need to connect to MSSQL.
I searched for a howto the last 3 hours in www, but canĀ“t find a working answer or am I to stupid?
Is there a possibility to install "PDO-dblib" on MAMP on OSX Yosemite?
Or can somebody explain me how I can do this?
Thanks in advance!
From PHP website:
PDO_DBLIB: This extension is not available anymore on Windows with PHP 5.3 or later.
I see MAMP allows you to use different versions of PHP, so if you choose php 5.1.6 it may work. There is also a comment there from a guy who wrote its own class for this purpose. I am adding you also the pecl repository for this PDODblib.
Apart of this I am recommending you to use the latest version of PHP and do not rely on maintained extensions. PDO, which comes now by default with PHP, allows you to connect to MSSQL databases and you can find documentation here and here.

Trying to transfer older version of mediawiki to new server

So, in college I had a Debian server which used to host a wiki, with mediawiki version 1.9. This server stopped working, and all I have now is its HD. I want to transfer this wiki to a new server, which also runs Debian, but I can't do that with Debian's current stable version of mediawiki, 1.15, because it is not possible to transfer a wiki to another version of mediawii.
So, my idea is to install mediawiki 1.9 on the new server, and then move the wiki. But I am having problems with installing it.
When I go to http://my_hostname/config/index.php, to configure the new wiki, so that I can transfer the other one, I get the following message, and nothing happens:
Checking environment...
Please include all of the lines below when reporting installation problems.
PHP 5.3.3-7+squeeze8 installed"
I really don't have a clue on what is wrong. ANY help would be greatly appreciated!
Like you commented yourself, it would certainly be worth a try to using your existing configuration. The configuration is typically some site preferences and database configuration, so make sure dat your database is setup in the same way as before.
Regarding your configuration problems, maybe php filters away the errors. You can check this by searching for error_reporting in your php.ini.
Just follow the instructions at http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Upgrading. Probably no point in trying to install at MediaWiki 1.9.
You may want to do a clean install of MediaWiki 1.18.1 first just to make sure your system is ready, all dependencies met, etc.

Upgrading SUP 1.5.5 to SUP 2.0

I am currently using SUP 1.5.5 Personal Developer Edition which I got by upgrading SUP 1.5.2. Now I want to upgrade my SUP 1.5.5 to SUP 2.0. From Sybase Online help tutorials, I came to know that from 1.5.5 we can directly upgrade to 2.0 by running the installer. But I failed to find out from where we need to download this installer? And I need to know the steps in this upgradation process?
Can anybody please help me to upgrade to SUP 2.0?
Thanks and regards,
Rinzy Deena Mathews.
You will need to grab the complete distribution from the products page which you can get to from here:
https://sybase.subscribenet.com/
You'll have to authenticate so hopefully you know your account information or know someone who does.
This will take you to the available products page for your account. Once here, if you have licenses for it, the SUP should be available. If not you'll have to contact support. When you click through you should see the latest version. Again if you don't you'll have to contact support.
There should be 4 zip files to download that make up the platform. There are also 2 zip files of documentation. I would download all of them. Once you've grabbed them extract them all into the same directory. Find setup.exe and you should be all set.
If you do happen to extract the downloads into separate directories just copy the modules directory from each distribution to the one where setup.exe lives. It won't work unless all the files are in the same place. I learned this the hard way.
Good luck!
The installer can be downloaded from the Sybase Product Download Center.
Also, I could not upgrade to 2.0 simply by running the installer. Services wouldn't start.
Had to uninstall 1.5.5 first and then perform a clean install for 2.0.

Mantis to Bugzilla migration?

So we have this project which uses Mantis as bug tracker tool and in the company the corporate bug tracking tool is Bugzilla. This means we will have to use Bugzilla soon.
I searched for tools that can be used to migrate from Mantis to Bugzilla and I only found this m2bz tool which seems to work for Mantis 0.17.5 and Bugzilla 2.16.3 but seems also kind of dead since 2003...
Do you guys have already try to do such a migration? The Mantis version used is 1.1.8 and the Bugzilla one is 3.0.1.
Thanks in advance!
You can load data with importxml.cgi, which implies that you only need to dump your existing database into the proper XML for the migration.
We usually migrate other Bugzilla installations into our big Bugzilla database with a script that copies the data from one db to another, mapping bug ids, users, etc. I tried to do much the same thing when I had to migrate JIRA stuff. It turned out to be a major PITA!
I would have been much, much better off working on how to dump JIRA in the correct XML.
The data model changed a lot between 2.16 and 3.X, so whatever m2bz tool you found probably won't do what you want.
Do you know the datbase structure for Mantis?
Because you can import sql scripts in the BugZilla database, to make the migration yourself.
The Bugzilla database is:

I couldn't find it for Mantis though :-(
