gallery 1.5.48 attempting to use php version 7.0 or 7.1

c-panel says that all versions of php to 7.0 have been deprecated. I attempted to change our bridged forum to 7.0, forum works but the gallery says:

Fatal error:  Uncaught Error: Call to undefined function mysql_connect() in /attic/cpg/include/functions.inc.php:183 Stack trace: #0 /attic/cpg/include/init.inc.php(171): cpg_db_connect() #1 /attic/cpg/index.php(26): require('/home/servername/...') #2 {main} thrown in /attic/cpg/include/functions.inc.php on line 183

needless to say am back to version 5.6Just thought I would let someone know and to see if 1.6 behaves with 7.1php

You should upgrade to CPG 1.6.x

CPG faithful,

I have recently upgraded from Ubuntu 18.04 to 20.04...phew all went pretty smooth.
One issue is coppermine ver cpg1.6.x-1.6.06 stopped working.
I get this message when I surf to the GUI:

Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Call to a member function errorInfo() on null in /usr/local/src/cpg/cpg1.6.x-1.6.06/include/database/pdo/dbase.inc.php:71 Stack trace: #0 /usr/local/src/cpg/cpg1.6.x-1.6.06/include/init.inc.php(175): CPG_Dbase->getError() #1 /usr/local/src/cpg/cpg1.6.x-1.6.06/index.php(22): require('/usr/local/src/...') #2 {main} thrown in /usr/local/src/cpg/cpg1.6.x-1.6.06/include/database/pdo/dbase.inc.php on line 71

I saw this same error in this thread, so thinking there might be a known fix aside from re-installing cpg1.6

The GUI is down right now, so any assistance on options to fix would be appreciated...

thx for your time in advance...

The quickest fix is probably to switch to using mysqli instead of PDO:mysql.

In the include/config.inc.php file, change the dbtype to mysqli.

Code: [Select]

$CONFIG['dbtype'] =   'mysqli'; // Your database type

P.S. There is no need to double post.

CPG Faithful,

Original environment: Coppermine 1.6.06 on a fully patched Ubuntu 18.04 with mysql 5.7 & php 7.2

I was able to get Coppermine running on Ubuntu 20.04. 
The key was all about getting mysql "right"...

Current environment: Coppermine 1.6.09 on a fully patched Ubuntu 20.04 with mysql 5.7.32 & php 7.4.3

Ubuntu 20.04 upgrades mysql to v8, which I "think" Coppermine was not happy with.
I was able to remove/disable mysql v8 and then install mysql 5.7.32
Coppermine seems fine with PHP 7.4.3
I did a restore of my databases from backup...cpgdb, sys, mysql, performance_schema including ib* and auto.cnf files in the root /var/lib/mysql dir.
Start mysql and coppermine is now happy.
I also did run the run the cpg_installer_update.php to patch from .06 to .09

I will also say setting the debug_mode =1; was a must to get good information errors from Coppermine.

BTW:
Anyone modify Coppermine to digest images larger that 2MB yet?  Anyone want to collaborate on that?  My phone is taking 3-4MB images and I can't upload them to Coppermine 
Other options?
