[SOLVED] v1.6.1 HTTP 500 error after host upgraded to PHP 5.6

[complusit]

Hi,

All I'm getting is white pages 500 error since the host upgrade to Easy Apache 4 from 3 on Cpanel, and to php 5.6 (Without notice I might add).

1.6.1.3 , My SQL Server 5.6.41, WebServer mysqllib 5.1.73

I have tried changing the version of PHP in cpanel and cleared the smarty cache folders,

I ran in debug mode and got this:

Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Call to undefined function mysql_connect() in /home/XXXX/public_html/classes/db/MySQL.php:51 Stack trace: #0 /home/XXXX/public_html/classes/db/Db.php(319): MySQLCore->connect() #1 /home/XXXXX/public_html/classes/db/Db.php(239): DbCore->__construct('localhost', 'XXXX_presXX...', '@XXXXXX, 'XXXXXX_presXX...') #2 /home/XXXXX/public_html/config/alias.php(66): DbCore::getInstance() #3 /home/XXXXX/public_html/classes/shop/Shop.php(329): pSQL('www.complusener...') #4 /home/XXXXX/public_html/config/config.inc.php(114): ShopCore::initialize() #5 /home/XXXXX/public_html/XXXX/index.php(36): require('/home/XXXXX/...') #6 {main} thrown in /home/XXXXX/public_html/classes/db/MySQL.php on line 51

Does anyone have any idea please how to get our site back?

 

Many Thanks

Marcus

You have to enable the mysql extension in your PHP settings

Hi Rodrigo,

Thanks for the prompt reply, it appears the problem was that the host support agent advised me to only change the php version in the 'MultiPHP Manager' on Cpanel and not ALSO the php version in the 'Select PHP Version' tool on cpanel.

Didn't want to chnage things I wasn't advised to

Monday morning new support agent, all fixed in 5 mins.

Thanks again.
