My Omeka Classic page isn’t running.
It was working ok, but after months without acessing I have noticed this problem. http://www.fotosplus.com/fototeca
I get this message:
Zend_Session::start() - /var/www/html/fotoplus.com/web/fototeca/application/libraries/Zend/Db/Table/Row.php(Line:1): Error #8192 Function create_function() is deprecated

My notations for all updates in this service are quite incomplete.
Last July I have a note for updating the software from 2.4.1 to 2.7.1.
I checked the dates for the main files and I’ve discovered that all are from Feb 2nd 2017.
So I wonder that would be the case that the version 2.4.1 is still implanted (my last record was inserted in Dec.2018.
I’ve made then (last July) the backup of the DB files using the MySQL interface in my web hosting service. What would mandatory before the update, but…
copy the folder Images? Just that?
2) export database through MySQL server?
3) install 2.7.1 version in one new folder ? Or is there any other step?
In fact, I imagine that “this experience” will be quite definitive to prove to myself that Omeka is a reliable option. So I can’t lose data or format data.
Certainly make a backup before proceeding, as the first step there suggests.
In general, the process is: unzip the new 2.7.1 copy on your server, point its db.ini at your old Omeka database (or a copy of it, whichever you prefer), copy over the files folder from the old install, plus your installed themes and plugins, then go to “/admin” of the new install and run the upgrade.
After the upgrade is complete you would look at updating themes and plugins, if necessary (usually, if you haven’t made local changes to the files, this is just a matter of replacing the old plugin or theme folder completely with a new downloaded copy).
I have done the installation of the version. 2.7.1 in a new folder (see www.fotoplus.com/fototecx) (yes, with a X)
I 've made the modifications regarding db.ini, config.ini (language) e htaccess, and copied the folder FILES with the archived itens
It’s working. Even the geolocation is fine (there was a recorrent crash, but now it’s ok).
So I’ve tried to update a new DB MySql (using the internal backup), but there was a problem with the last backup file. So I’ve used the previous one without the last item added (I have a sheet for each item and it is easy to recover data).
I have a last question about “ABOUT page” !
There isn’t there: my About page of course, not the blank one.
Where should it be archived, which folder ?
The Simple Pages data is stored in the database, not any files within the Omeka install (the table is simple_pages_pages). You can probably recover it from one of your backups.
