I need to upgrade magento 1.9.3 to 2.3. I have read the migration process at magento docs and other sites.
Now I have a few questions- 1.
Magento 2.3
requires php 7
while our magento 1.9
does not support php 7. I have found a patch but I am not confident about this as I do not want to distrub the running site. Should I try this patch?
2.
We can move to a new server also if that makes things easier. Should I try to install this in a new folder at the present server and later redirect it to the new installation or install at new server and change the dns?
What will you suggest? I am in a position to do both of them.
Thanks a lot for your time.
