Upgrading 2.1.16 to 2.3.2 Magento and PHP version issues

Question

We are attempting to upgrade from version 2.1.16 to 2.3.2 on CentOS7.

Previously we were running PHP 5.6.30. I uninstalled that version, installed version 7.2.20, and received the following errors when attempting the upgrade.

What is strange to me that using the upgrade utility in the admin pages is able to move past this check, however running it through the command line encounters these issues.

My question then is, am I missing a step here, or do I need to run multiple successive upgrades (eg. upgrade to PHP 7.0.0 -> upgrade to Magento 2.2 -> upgrade to PHP 7.1 -> upgrade Magento 2.3 -> upgrade to PHP 7.2)?

• Philipp Sander: described what you did in order to upgrade. upgrade to 2.3.X is not that simple
• Ryan Freeman: @PhilippSander Followed the documentation as much as possible. Downloaded the new version, replaced my update folder with new one, updated the composer.json, uninstalled all PHP extensions, installed new ones, ran composer update.
• Philipp Sander: "much as possible" what did you skip?
• Ryan Freeman: @PhilippSander php composer.phar install --no-dev -> php bin/magento setup:upgrade -> php bin/magento setup:di:compile -> composer require magento/product-enterprise-edition=2.3.2 --no-update -> composer create-project --repository=repo.magento.com magento/project-enterprise-edition=2.3.2 temp_dir --no-install -> rm -rf update -> mv temp_dir/update . -> rm -rf temp_dir -> composer update
• Philipp Sander: but that's not all you have to do.... did you run the "pre_composer_update_2.3.php" ?

Answer 1

I finally discovered the issue. In the composer.json we had "magento/data-migration-tool": "2.1.3" leftover from the Magento 1 to 2 upgrade. Removing that fixed the issue.

• Yogendra - eCommerce Developer: Have you got any DB error while upgrade from 2.1.16 to 2.3.2 directly? I am also trying to upgrade magento and getting customer group id error
• Ryan Freeman: @Yogendra-eCommerceDeveloper had something similar. Resolution was just to add in the missing column.
