General advice needed.

Hi, I have been running Mautic in a PHP 7.4 environment, we are moving to a new environment and I need to move to PHP 8.1.

Does anyone have some general advice for that?

In the best of worlds, I would just like to move all the files to the new location, but I think that will not really work, any ideas?

What version of Mautic are you running? 4.4.9 only supports 8.0 → \< [https://github.com/mautic/mautic/blob/aa4f8b678bc13edf0b9f1f51cf7d642b6fbaf347/app/release\_metadata.json](https://github.com/mautic/mautic/blob/aa4f8b678bc13edf0b9f1f51cf7d642b6fbaf347/app/release_metadata.json) \>.

But in general:

- export files & database
- move files to new server
- import database to new server
- install all the required php extensions Mautic depends on, this list should include all of them:

```auto
php8.0-imap php8.0-curl php8.0-mbstring php8.0-zip php8.0-gd php8.0-mysql php8.0-intl php8.0-fpm

```

This package

```auto
php8.0-fpm

```

is only required if you run php using FPM.

- I would also reinstall the dependencies
- clear the cache
- point mautic domain to the new server

That should give you a working Mautic instance on another server.

Regards, M.
