I attempted installing the OJS application in FastComet server, however, upon filling in the necessary Admin and Database credentials and clicking Install, an HTTP 500 error is being displayed which logs the following error message:

[01-May-2019 02:41:13 Europe/Berlin] PHP Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Call to undefined function mysql_connect() in /home/acadvanc/public_html/lib/pkp/lib/adodb/drivers/adodb-mysql.inc.php:456

I also attempted installing the application using all available PHP versions, however, the issue persists regardless of this.

Please help me with this solution.

Hi @sharifsks,

Be careful when posting stack traces – your post contained database credentials! Please change your database password immediately (and any other account that may have shared those credentials).

To resolve the original problem you posted, use the MySQLi driver instead of MySQL.
