Host Upgraded PHP
« on: January 01, 2022, 11:24:17 pm »

My host upgraded the PHP from 5.4 to 7.4.26 and now my gallery is no longer showing up. When I go to the page I get
Code: [Select]
Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Call to undefined function mysql_connect() in /home/site/public_html/gallery/include/functions.inc.php:183 Stack trace: #0 /home/site/public_html/gallery/include/init.inc.php(171): cpg_db_connect() #1 /home/site/public_html/gallery/index.php(26): require('/home/site/pu...') #2 {main} thrown in /home/site/public_html/gallery/include/functions.inc.php on line 183
Looking at the versioncheck.php file it shows that it is 1.5.46.. What files do I need to replace in order to get this back to normal?

Yeah, that would be a disaster for me to try and upgrade it to 1.6..

Unless you can get your host to provide PHP 5.x for you, there is little choice you have.

Some hosts let you select the version of PHP that you want to use (some on a directory level).

Using the method I linked to above to upgrade to CPG 1.6 has been done successfully by hundreds of people.

I just remembered I have an old website that is still active and has the same issue, I can use it as a sandbox to test.. So looking at the options what version should I go to and is the most stable??

The latest 1.6 is the best option. Take a backup first, both your site and database. You could also run a copy of your site on your desktop using WAMP or similar so you can test your upgrades first.

Well that did not go well.. It uploaded the package and then I get this little gem.. Nothing was changed on the database that I know of.. Any ideas when I go to correct this?

Double check if you still have your original file include/config.inc.php still in place, if not,
upload a backup copy.

Also check that the db server in config.inc.php is simply localhost

It's all there...

Code: [Select]
<?php

    define 
'SILLY_SAFE_MODE' ) ;

    
$CONFIG['dbserver'] = 'localhost' ;
    
$CONFIG['dbuser'  ] = '*********_' ;
    
$CONFIG['dbpass'  ] = '**********' ;
    
$CONFIG['dbname'  ] = '***********'   ;

    
$CONFIG['TABLE_PREFIX'] = 'cpg_';

?>

If you PM me your host credentials (Bluehost?), I'll see if I can help you get it running.

Texas-Hunters
Apparently the password for Texas-hunters CPG database had been changed. I set it to what was in the config.inc.php and then it connected okay. I didn't continue the upgrade though because the previous version there was 1.5.12 ... a bit older than desired for a 1.6 upgrade.

Smoked-Meat
I put the update files in place. Unfortunately, Hostgator seems to have PHP mis-configured so mysqli (among other things) is not available in the smoked-meat space. They'll need to fix the problems with that before the upgrade can be accomplished.

Yes ... expected since the update wasn't done.
It's up to you whether you want to try the update even though the gallery is a bit older than fully recommended.

I’ve edited the password and credentials from your post above. Probably a good idea to change your passwords now. Never a good idea to place sensitive details in a public forum.

I did get with the host and they made some corrections and now the gallery looks to be live again.. I will need to go in a poke around.
