Cakephp migration from 2.7 to 2.8 in cpanel

Question

My website is developed in cakephp 2.7 which uses php.4.4 many years ago.All working fine at that time.

But right now it's not working in capnel. I have checked the issue and error logs. PDO class is not working and meanwhile database query execution is not working.

So i have upgraded my php version to PHP 7.0. Another issues are coming like problem in error handler of cakephp. I searched for this issue and i concluded that cakephp 2.7 is not compatible with PHP 7.0.

So i have to do migration from cakephp 2.7 to cakephp 2.8.

I have searched for the migration but no any link shows clear changes of code from 2.7 to 2.8.

I need proper documentation for the migration.

please anyone suggest some links for migration.

Follow these simple steps to upgrade cakephp 2.x.x to any latest version of cakephp 2.x.x.

Till today cakephp 2.10.19 is latest one , so I will guide accordingly

1. First of all create backup or your data(eg:Maan.com) and database.
2. Make subdomain(eg: CakephpNewVersion.Maan.Com)
3. clone latest version of cakephp from git to your new subdomin.
4. Extract every thing to subdomin.
5. Copy/Owe right these folders from orignal domain to subdomain "Config, Model, View, Controllers, Webroot".

6: Create new database for subdomin and import db back that we took in step 1.

7: Modify subdomain(eg: CakephpNewVersion.Maan.Com)/app/config/database.php according to new database settings.

8: You are good to go , Refresh subdomin and compare everything with main Domain. 9: If everything is as expected then Just vote up this answer and repeat this process to main domin/or just clone directory.
