Upgrade to Vr 5.0.2. in Windows 10 problem with PHP

If you are using openemr in windows localhost,
perhaps I can help with this path:

Install is very tricky in windows!!

your specific error ocurred because openemr version 5.0.2 needs at least php 7.1.2 will all libraries = easiest way to get them:
You must upgrade xampp + apache+ mysql (which in fact is Maria). Update all of them installing the last version of xampp.

I tried a lot and finally I updated openemr from 5.0.1 to 5.0.2. At the beginning I had the same error message and various other message errors.

while in 5.0.1 I used xampp control panel to go to mysql phpmyadmin and removed all the passwords from all databanks and I give all permissions to all users.

only them I created dumpfile.sql (as follows)

Then I followed step by step:
https://www.open-emr.org/wiki/index.php/Dual_Upgrade_of_OpenEMR_and_XAMPP_in_Windows

rename xampp folder to xampp_old

install new xampp version and inside folder:

C:\xampp\htdocs\

install openemr5.0.2 but rename folder to openemr.
it results in:

C:\xampp\htdocs\openemr

and tried to restore the dumpfile.sql
but received a message that openemr databank doesnot exist

I came back to xampp control panel > mysql >phpmyadmin

and create an empty openemr databank

but it didnt work because there was an error:
user doesnot exist.

I came back to xampp control panel > mysql >phpmyadmin

and create an user openemr with all privileges

copy configuration from

old sqlconf.php to the new one ( in folder C:\xampp\htdocs\openemr\sites\default)

*****atention****atention:

the new sqlconf.php comes with an error at the end of the file:

//////////////////////////
//////////////////////////
//////////////////////////
//////DO NOT TOUCH THIS///
$config = 1; /////////////
//////////////////////////
//////////////////////////
//////////////////////////
?>

the last " ?> " is missing = correct it ( in fact this shoud be the cause of your error)

only them… the browser interface was available and I could finally update my databank and use openemr5.0.2.

It was a try an error journey

when openemr is working you can adjust the passwords and permissions.

delete xampp_old folder
backup copying xampp folder.

Previously to dumpfile.sql restore,
openemr upgrade requires via http://localhost/phpmyadmin/ :

the creation of :

  1. an empty openemr databank
  2. an user openemr (or other name You have created) and,
    the correction of:
  3. a missing ?> in sqlconf.php among other config details.

good luck!
