Hi @shamae_507,

Use the latest release – I suspect you’re using PHP7, and earlier releases of OMP won’t work with PHP7.

When you try to install OMP and receive a 500 error, check your PHP error log to see whether it provides details.

Hi @asmecher , this is the error log

[30-Aug-2017 21:55:53 America/Chicago] PHP Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Call to undefined function mysql_connect() in /home1/pnuonli1/public_html/omp-3.1.0/lib/pkp/lib/adodb/drivers/adodb-mysql.inc.php:456

Hi @shamae_507,

Use the MySQLi database driver rather than MySQL.

Hi @asmecher, I contacted Bluehost if they provide MySQLi database, but the one who assist me told me that they only support MySQL. what else can I do about it?

Thanks.

Hi @shamae_507,

MySQLi is the mechanism PHP uses to connect to MySQL. It’s not a separate kind of database. Your server’s PHP installation supports MySQLi for connecting to MySQL already.

Oh sorry @asmecher . I didn’t know. I’m not an IT person. Can you help me install omp?

Hi @asmecher ,

Thank you. I’d really appreciate you help.

Once I filled up all the needed information like admin account, database setting and then I clicked the install open monograph press it will load and give me a HTTP ERROR 500

Hi @shamae_507,

I removed the screenshot you posted – it included a password.

Have you checked your PHP error log? It’ll likely include more information.

Hi @shamae_507,

That still suggests you chose MySQL on the installation form, not MySQLi. Are you sure you chose MySQLi?
