Download older version 2.7 ?

[FS72]

Hello,

I need to take care of a website that uses an old version of ProcessWire.

The website needs to move to a new server.

I have read that you have to install the software first and then transfer the data. Is this correct?

Where can I download an old version 2.7?

Hello,
Why don’t you just move the files and the database? You don’t need to make a fresh install.
Unlike WordPress, the database can be moved as it is.
Then you have to change the DB config in the /site/config.php file.
Be sure to check if the old version of PW works with the new PHP version.

I have transferred all files including the database.
I have entered the access data for the database.
The PHP version is the same.
I get a 500 server error.

Don't server paths have to be adjusted somewhere?

I get the following error

Error:     Exception: load error: failed to find /var/www/XXXXXXXX/htdocs/site/templates/composition/html/styles/compile.less (in /usr/www/users/XXXXXXXX/XXXXXXXX/XXXXXXXX/site/templates/composition/lessphp/lessc.inc.php line 1818)

The old server path looks like this:
/var/www/XXXXXXXX/htdocs/

The new one, like this:
/usr/www/users/XXXXXXXX/XXXXXXXX/XXXXXXXX/

You can find the 2.7 Versions here: https://github.com/ryancramerdesign/ProcessWire/tags

But it looks more like you are using a less compiler (lessphp) somewhere in the templates, and it is trying to access the wrong path.
