Deploying OJS at Heroku Cloud

Software Support
1

Dear,
I am trying to deploy OJS in the Heroku cloud and I am receiving the error message when trying to install

127.0.0.1:44568 [500]: /index.php/index/install/install - Uncaught Error: Call to undefined function mysql_connect() in /tmp/build_30214182f293c8920d9638266f9b5fc1/web/lib/pkp/lib/adodb/drivers/adodb-mysql.inc.php:456

The problem is that Heroku uses mysqli and based on what I have researched these mysql_…() functions have been deprecated.

Is there a way to make OJS use the updated mysql functions of mysqli or pdo?

Thank you,
Gustavo

The database driver is selected on the installation form, and is recorded in config.inc.php’s “database” section.
